2024 NGC MS-70 First Day of Issue 1/2 oz American Eagle Gold Coin - Exclusive Reagan Label

The American Gold Eagle Series is a vast collection of bullion and proof coins.

The heaviest fractional option produced by the US Mint for the series is the 1/2 oz Gold Eagle. This 22k gold coin holds a USD 25 face value and legal tender status, fully backed by the US Government.

The Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and the Bullion Coin Act of 1985, which grounded the production of American Eagle Coins, were signed by President Ronald Regan, who fiercely supported coin collecting and bullion investing.

Additionally, he issued a Presidential Proclamation during his government, making the week of April 17 "National Coin Week."

An NGC MS-70 First Day of Issue coin 

NGC—Numismatic Guaranty Company is an internationally recognized service that works independently from sovereign mints. It appraises and grades coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70.

For NGC, a “First Day of Issue” is a coin purchased from the US Mint on the very first day it was made publicly available.

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.
