2025 NGC MS-70 FIRST30™ 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Coin

2025 NGC MS-70 FIRST30™ 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Coin

The 1/2 oz Gold Eagle is the largest fractional gold piece in the US Gold Eagle series. Struck from 22-karat gold, it contains a full 1/2 ounce of gold with an alloy mix of 3% silver and 5.33% copper for added durability.

They feature the iconic Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the obverse, while the reverse showcases Jenni Norris’s Eagle design, introduced in 2021 to commemorate the program’s 35th anniversary.

These coins, in particular, are part of SD Bullion’s exclusive MintCertified™ program.

It guarantees these coins have been delivered in the original unopened, temper-evident sealed mint tubes during the first 30 days of the coin’s release. These MintCertified™ Sealed Tubes were only opened at an NGC depository, and each coin was individually appraised and graded, receiving the FIRST30™ label.

An NGC MS-70 Coin 

NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) evaluates and grades coins independently of sovereign mints. It utilizes the Sheldon Scale, a grading system from 1 to 70, to meticulously assess coins' condition.

MS stands for Mint State, indicating a coin crafted in the format of a business circulation coin. Since it has never been in circulation, the coin has no flaws, which grants it a 70 grade.
