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

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

Along with the Silver Eagle, the 1 oz Gold Eagle was the debuting coin of the American Eagle Program, introduced in the bullion market by the US Mint in 1986.

The 40th US President Ronald Reagan signed the Liberty Coin Act of 1985 and the Bullion Coin Act of 1985, which grounded the production of American Eagle Coins.

Reagan fiercely advocated for coin collecting and bullion investing and issued a Presidential Proclamation during his government, making the week of April 17 "National Coin Week."

This coin is 22-karat gold, containing a full Troy oz of actual gold content. It has legal tender status and features historic national symbols in its design.

Today, you can purchase, at SD Bullion, 2024 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coins from those sold on the first day of issue in the US Mint, certified as MS-70 samples and sealed by the NGC with an Exclusive Ronald Reagan Facsimile Signature label with his portrait overlaying the Oval Office.

The Design

Lady Liberty, created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, reproduces the $20 Double Eagle design.

In the image, her march forward, carrying a torch and an olive branch, symbolizes the nation's way to progress, peace, and enlightenment. The word “LIBERTY” is engraved on top, the Capitol Building is imprinted on the lower left, and the coin’s mintage year is on the right.

Jennie Norris' reverse design, presented in the 35th Anniversary of the American Eagle Program, showcases the Bald Eagle in a left-profile close-up with a hooked beak and a staring gaze. 

The coin’s essential information is engraved as “20 DOLLARS” for the face value and “1 OZ FINE GOLD” for weight and metal content. The words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and the mottos “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” complete the image.

An NGC MS-70 First Day of Issue coin 

Internationally recognized services, like NGC—Numismatic Guaranty Company, appraise and grade coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70, independently from sovereign mints. 

“First Day of Issue,” according to NGC, 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.
