Each 2021 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Type 2 Coin in this product listing comes to you with a plastic slab and a near-perfect grade from the PCGS. Coins in Mint State 69 condition exhibit full, original mint luster and bear no more than two minor detracting flaws. Those flaws must be located outside of the primary focal points of the coin and are limited in nature to minuscule contact marks or hairlines. First Strike designations are reserved for coins received for grading within 30 days of the initial release by the mint.

The new Type 2 coin in the American Gold Eagle Series ushers in a new era. On the reverse of the coins, you will now find a new American bald eagle design created by Jennie Norris. Ms. Norris is a member of the US Mint Artistic Infusion Program.

The obverse of 2021 American Gold Eagle Type 2 Coins comes with a depiction of Lady Liberty. Designed in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, it shows a full-length portrait of Liberty in front-facing relief with a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. The Type 2 release brings enhanced visuals to select obverse design elements to better match Saint-Gaudens’ original 1907 design.

On the reverse of 2021 1/2 oz Gold Eagle Type 2 Coins, you will find the all-new design of the bald eagle. Gone is the family of American bald eagles. In its place, you will notice the incredibly detailed left-profile portrait of a bald eagle head.
