2024-W NGC PF-70 UC First Day of Issue American Gold Eagle Proof 4-Coin Set - Exclusive Ronald Reagan Label
American Gold Eagle Coins embody the national heritage, principles, and aspirations. The US Mint commits to high craftsmanship and purity to give these coins the maximum levels of detail.
Each year, the US Mint prepares Coin Sets of Proof Gold Eagles, joining the four size options of the series: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. Each coin bears the "W" mint mark on the obverse side, representing the West Point Mint.
The American Eagles Program was only possible thanks to the support of Ronald Reagan, the 40th and one of the most popular US Presidents in history.
Reagan fiercely advocated for coin collecting and bullion investing during his time in the Oval Office. He signed the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and the Bullion Coin Act of 1985, which grounded the production of American Eagle Coins. Additionally, Reagan issued a Presidential Proclamation, making the week of April 17 "National Coin Week."
Today, you can purchase, at SD Bullion, 2024-W Proof American Gold Eagle 4-Coin Set, with samples sold on the first day of issue in the US Mint.
They are all certified as PF-70 Ultra Cameo coins and sealed by the NGC with our Exclusive Ronald Reagan Facsimile Signature label, which also features his portrait overlaying the Oval Office.

The Design
The obverse of Gold Eagles reproduces Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty design, initially used in the $20 Double Eagle Coin in 1907.
It showcases Lady Liberty, the feminine personification of America, walking forward, carrying a torch and an olive branch, symbolizing the nation's march to progress, peace, and enlightenment.
The Capitol Building is imprinted on the lower left, the word “LIBERTY” on top, the coin’s mintage year to the right, and the “W” mint mark below the date. Stars encircle the whole design.
The current reverse design was created by Jennie Norris for the 35th Anniversary of the American Eagle Program. In the image, the majestic eagle is depicted in a left-profile close-up with a hooked beak and a staring gaze.
In addition to the engravings that inform the coin’s face value, weight, and metal content, the image is supplemented by the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and the mottos “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
An NGC PF-70 UC First Day of Issue Coin
In order to appraise and grade coins, third-party services like NGC—Numismatic Guaranty Company use the Sheldon Scale as a parameter.
The initials PF stand for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes. It exhibits mirror-like surfaces in contrast with frosted design elements. The expression “UCAM” or Ultra Cameo means this contrast is deeper and more intense than in other proof coins.
Grade 70 is the highest and is attributed to coins with no visible marks.
NGC considers “First Day of Issue” a coin purchased from the US Mint on the very first day it was made publicly available.
