2023 NGC MS-70 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Coin - Black Core Edmund C. Moy Label
Gold Eagles are the US’s official gold bullion coin and one of the most sought-after gold coins for collection and investment purposes.
The US Mint makes Gold Eagles from 22k gold. The Half-ounce Gold Eagle is the heaviest fractional option of the collection with a USD $25 face value and alluring designs with Lady Liberty and the Bald Eagle, signed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Jennie Norris.
NGC graded these 1/2 oz Gold Eagles, in particular, as MS-70 coins and sealed them with its exclusive Black Core Edmund C. Moy Label.
Edmund C. Moy served as the 38th Director of the US Mint from 2006 to 2011, earning recognition as the Father of the Modern Coin Era for his transformative impact on US Mint coinage. Under his visionary leadership, Moy introduced innovative designs and oversaw the creation of iconic series such as the 24k Gold Buffalo and the revered 2009 Ultra High Relief coin. Additionally, his initiatives resulted in unprecedented minting of gold and silver coins, sparking widespread global interest in modern U.S. Coins.
