2021 $25 1/2-oz Gold American Eagle Type 1 NGC MS70 Early Releases w/Eagle Label

First Flight of 2021 Gold Eagles Feature Original Designs

Collectors are extra excited about the U.S. Mint’s release of its 2021 Gold Eagles. In case you don’t know why, it’s because in early 2020 the Mint announced it would be changing the reverse design of this immensely popular coin series in 2021. The first 2021-dated Gold Eagles coming off the presses still featured Miley Busiek’s “Family of Eagles” design that has graced the coins since they debuted in 1986, but they will be replaced later in 2021 with a brand new design. It’s created first and last issue coins in the same series in the same year!

Golden Tribute to Iconic American Images

Here’s your chance to start or add to your collection of American Gold Eagles. This coin was given a Type-1 pedigree to note that it bears the original Busiek Family of Eagles Reverse design. In addition to Busiek’s reverse design, these stunning gold coins proudly display one of the nation’s most iconic symbols — Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s famous design from the Gold Double Eagle showing Lady Liberty striding towards freedom, as a reminder of the majesty, longevity, and strength of the United States.

Plus, each coin available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Uncirculated Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded coins have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that these Half-ounce Gold Eagles are Early Releases (ER) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of its release. Each coin also comes sonically sealed in an acrylic holder and encapsulated with an exclusive Bald Eagle label.

Authorized by Congress and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, the Gold Eagle Program quickly established itself as a global standard for bullion that is artistically rich, perfectly collectible and thoroughly American. Celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2021, the Twenty-Five Dollar Half-Ounce Gold Eagle has returned for one last time with both of its beloved, time-honored designs!

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• THE ULTIMATE SAINT-GAUDENS CREATION . . .—These Half-Ounce Gold Eagles exhibit a stunning design of Lady Liberty walking forward with focus and purpose, torch in one hand and olive branch in the other. Originally introduced on the famous 1907 $20 Double Eagle and born from collaboration between Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Theodore Roosevelt, this design reveals beautifully intricate details (like the U.S. Capitol building in the distance) with each viewing.
• . . . PAIRED FOR A FINAL TIME WITH A PATRIOTIC FAMILY! – Featuring a male bald eagle carrying an olive branch to his family, sculptor Miley Busiek’s design for the reverse serves as a perfect modern companion to Saint-Gaudens’ vision. Her design will be replaced by a new design later in 2021.
• EXPERTLY STRUCK IN HIGHLY PURE GOLD – The craftspeople of the U.S. Mint are known around the world for their skill and attention to detail. It’s this talent that transforms each half-ounce planchet of 91.67% fine gold into a breathtaking work of numismatic art.
• U.S. LEGAL TENDER – Minted in gold mined in the United States with weight and content guaranteed by the U.S. government, each 2021 Half-Ounce Gold Eagle bullion coin is twenty-five dollars U.S. legal tender, as seen on the coin’s reverse.
• PERFECT UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Your 2021 Half-Ounce Gold Eagle has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) in perfect Mint State-70 (MS70) condition.
• TYPE 1 DESIGNATION – This coin was given the Type-1 pedigree to note that it bears the original Busiek Family of Eagles Reverse design.
