The 2015-W 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle PF-70 UCAM NGC (Early Releases) is a premium collector issue struck at the West Point facility of the United States Mint. The “W” mint mark confirms its West Point origin.
This coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is minted in durable 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for enhanced strength while maintaining full precious metal content.
As a Proof issue, it was struck using specially polished dies and planchets, producing deep mirror-like fields and frosted design elements with exceptional contrast. The Ultra Cameo (UCAM) designation from the Numismatic Guaranty Company confirms strong contrast between the frosted devices and reflective background.
Graded Proof-70 (PF-70), this coin is certified as a perfect specimen with flawless surfaces and full eye appeal under 5x magnification.
The Early Releases (ER) designation indicates the coin was received by NGC within the first 30 days of its official release, enhancing early-issue collectible appeal.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful motifs in American coinage. The reverse displays the original family-of-eagles design by Miley Busiek.
