2021 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin BU (Type 2)

The year 2021 marks the 35th Anniversary of the American Eagle Coin Program, and the US Mint is making some significant changes to celebrate the occasion. Among those moves are a redesigned reverse and overall refresh for the entire line of their flagship Gold Bullion offering, the American Gold Eagle. The American Gold Eagle is a top-rated bullion coin and globally recognized, marking this redesign as a historic milestone. By law, the US Mint can only issue redesigns every 25 years, and they felt the time was right.

The new 2021 American Gold Eagle’s obverse features a refreshed depiction of the Augustus Saint-Gaudens design borrowed from the $20 Double Eagle Gold coin, minted from 1907 to 1933. This portrayal of Lady Liberty in stride has become one of US history’s most iconic coin designs. The new 2021 American Gold Eagle has replaced Miley Busiek’s illustration of the Family of Eagles on the reverse with a new design by Jennie Norris. This close-cropped and eye-catching profile shot of an American Bald Eagle displays incredible detail and is sure to impress for years to come.

Another distinguishing feature of the new 2021 American Gold Eagle is a brand-new and innovative security element designed to combat counterfeiting. You’ll notice the coin is intentionally missing a Reed on the coin’s edge just below the year of issue if looking from the obverse side.

Since its inception, each American Gold Eagle has been struck with 22-karat gold sourced directly from US mines, a strict legal requirement. The 22-karat gold content creates a more durable coin surface when compared with the .999 fine gold variety. This “Crown Gold” alloy exhibits a rich, golden tone and brilliant luster. The American Gold Eagle contains precisely 1 troy oz of .999 fine gold, but with an alloy blend of 91.67% gold, 5.33% copper, and 3.0% silver, the total coin weight reaches 1.0909 troy oz (33.93 grams).

The face value of each American Gold Eagle is backed by the US Federal Government and is offered in 1 oz ($50), ½ oz ($25), ¼ oz ($10), and 1/10 oz ($5) denominations. In addition, the weight, content, and purity of each American Gold Eagle are federally guaranteed. These new issue American Gold Eagles arrive in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.

The 2021 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin BU (Type 2) can be ordered as single 1 oz coins, in mint tubes of 20 coins, and Monster Boxes of 500 coins.
