2017 NGC MS-70 American Palladium Eagle Coin - First Day of Issue

Bearing a ‘First Day of Issue’ label from the NGC, this 2017 One Ounce American Palladium Eagle from the US Mint has been verified to be struck on the first day of the Palladium Eagle release in 2017. Moreover, they are also assigned a ‘perfect’ MS-70 grade by NGC, ensuring the pristine, blemishless condition of the coin – even when magnified.The already popular US Mint American Eagle series of precious metals coins will be getting a new addition to its rank with the United States Mint set to strike Palladium Eagles in 2017. Palladium will join gold, silver, and platinum in the renowned series of American Eagle coins.Moreover, each of these coins will be recognized as legal tender in the United States with a face value of $25 each. Furthermore, they will be struck using 1 troy ounce of 0.9995 pure palladium.The obverse of these palladium coins will feature the ‘Winged Liberty’ rendition by Adolph A. Weinman. Arguably the most beautiful design to grace an American coin, this design is admired by all, not just in the United States, but also throughout the globe. It was first imprinted on the ‘Mercury Dime,’ circulated between 1916 and 1945. In fact, Mercury dimes are still a mainstay in any American silver coin collections from that period.The reverse of these coins will also feature another beautiful, albeit a not-so-famous, Weinman creation – the depiction of an eagle from his 1907 American Institute of Architects medal.Inscriptions on these coins will include ‘IN GOD WE TRUST,’ ‘LIBERTY,’ ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,’ ‘.9995 FINE,’ and ’25 DOLLARS.’To learn more about the release and background of the 2017 American Palladium Eagle, as well as design choices and minting variations, please visit our Palladium Eagle information page here.
