2021 NGC MS-70 First Releases 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin (Type 2) - Eagle Label

2021 NGC MS-70 First Releases 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin (Type 2) - Eagle Label

2021 marks the 35th Anniversary of the American Eagle Program. To celebrate this landmark, the US Mint updated the Gold Eagle reverse design with a unique depiction of the Bald Eagle designed by artist Jennie Norris.

American Gold Eagles are made from 22-karat gold and contain a full troy ounce of gold. That makes them a little heavier than other popular gold coins, like the Canadian Maple Leaf or the South African Gold Krugerrand.

Today, you can acquire 2021 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coins (Type 2) at SD Bullion, purchased from the US Mint within the first 30 days of their official release. They were graded as MS-70 coins and sealed in NGC slabs with the exclusive Eagle Label.

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. 

It includes the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "IN GOD WE TRUST," its face value of 50 DOLLARS, weight, and metal content as "1 OZ. FINE GOLD."

An NGC MS-70 First Releases coin
