2021 NGC MS-70 First Day of Issue 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin (Type 2)

2021 represents a landmark in American coinage history. It marks the 35th Anniversary of the American Eagle Program, celebrated by the US Mint with an updated reverse design for US Gold Eagles designed by artist Jennie Norris.

US Gold Eagles stand out among the most famous gold coins worldwide, like the Canadian Maple Leaf or the South African Gold Krugerrand, because they are a little heavier. US Gold Eagles contain a full troy ounce of 22-karat gold.

The new reverse design, created by Jennie Norries to celebrate the series' 35th anniversary, displays the Eagle with a frontal close-up and a penetrating gaze. 

The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "IN GOD WE TRUST," along with the coin’s face value of 50 DOLLARS, weight, and metal content as "1 OZ. FINE GOLD" are included.
