The Design
Lady Liberty, designed on the obverse, marches forward carrying a torch and an olive branch, symbolizing the nation's progress toward peace and enlightenment. The image is an inspired version of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' 1907 $20 Double Eagle Gold Coin.
It also contains the Capitol Building, the word “LIBERTY,” and the coin’s mintage year.
The family of Bald Eagles stamped on the reverse depicts a female eagle who cherishes her hatchling under her wing while the male perches on their nest, as designed by Miley Busiek.
It describes weight, metal content, and face value as “1 OZ. FINE GOLD—50 DOLLARS.” Additional engravings read “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”
An NGC MS-70 First Day of Issue coin
NGC, or Numismatic Guaranty Company, is a renowned third-party grading service that appraises and grades coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70.
The term MS or Mint State describes a coin with the same format as a business circulation one that remained uncirculated. 70 is the grade given to coins with no visible flaws.
For NGC, “First Day of Issue” refers to coins purchased from the original mint on the very first day of their official release and taken to its appraisal.
