2010 NGC MS-70 Early Releases 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Coin

The 1/4 oz Gold Eagle is made from 22-karat gold and showcases designs that embody the patriotic ideals of the Founding Fathers.
These coins, in particular, are 1/4 oz Gold Eagles purchased from the US Mint within the first 30 days of their official release.

An NGC MS-70 Early Releases Coin
NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) uses the Sheldon Grading Scale to evaluate and attribute grades to coins.
MS stands for Mint State, indicating a coin crafted in the format of a business circulation coin. Since it has never been in circulation, the coin has no sign of wear, tear, or scratching, which grants it a 70 grade.
NGC considers “Early Releases” the coins purchased and taken to its evaluation within the first 30 days of public release by the US Mint.
