The 2014-W 1/2 oz Proof American Gold Eagle PF-70 UCAM NGC is a premium proof gold coin produced by the United States Mint at the West Point Mint, identified 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 increase durability while maintaining its full precious metal value.
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 elements and mirror-like fields.
Proof coins are struck using specially polished dies and carefully prepared planchets, producing deep mirror-like fields and frosted devices that deliver exceptional detail and visual contrast.
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 classic American Gold Eagle family of eagles design 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 securely encapsulated in an NGC certification holder, ensuring authenticity and long-term preservation.
