The 2020-W 1/2 oz Proof Gold Eagle PF-70 UCAM NGC is a premium proof gold coin produced by the United States Mint at the West Point Mint, indicated by the “W” mint mark.
Each coin contains ½ troy ounce of gold and is struck in 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver to enhance durability while preserving full precious metal content.
This coin has been graded Proof-70 (PF-70) Ultra Cameo (UCAM) by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, the highest possible grade for a proof coin. A PF-70 UCAM designation indicates a perfect specimen with flawless surfaces and strong cameo contrast between the frosted design and mirror-like fields.
Proof coins are struck using specially polished dies and planchets, producing deep mirror-like fields and frosted design elements that create exceptional detail and visual contrast.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely considered one of the most beautiful motifs in American coinage. The reverse displays the classic American Gold Eagle family of eagles design created by Miley Busiek, used on the series from 1986 through mid-2021.
Each coin carries a $25 face value and is fully backed by the United States government for weight and purity. The coin is encapsulated in an NGC certification holder, ensuring authenticity and long-term preservation.
