Each 2017 1 oz American Palladium Eagle Coin in this listing is available to you inside of a protective plastic slab from the NGC. The coins earned a perfect Mint State 70 grade from the NGC, indicating the coin exhibits full, original mint luster and lacks all forms of detracting flaws on the surface areas.
As an Early Release specimen, this coin was received for grading by the NGC within a very specific timeframe. The coins must arrive at the NGC or an approved third-party facility within the first 30 days of their 2017 release date from the United States Mint in order to earn the Early Release (ER) designation.
The American Palladium Eagle joins the American Eagle Series as the first expansion of precious metal options since the 1997 introduction of the Platinum Eagles, and the first overall expansion to the series since burnished coins were introduced in silver and gold in 2006.
On the obverse of all 2017 1 oz American Palladium Eagles you’ll find a unique vision of Liberty specifically used for this bullion coin. The US Mint used Adolph A. Weinman’s 1916 Winged Liberty dime design. The left-profile portrait features Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap and includes engravings of “Liberty” and the year of issue.
The reverse of all American Palladium Eagle coins also features a Weinman creation. This one of the American bald eagle resting on a cliff, clutching an olive branch in its talons, was created in 1907 by Weinman for use on a commemorative medal issued in that same year.
