The United States Mint considered a total of more than 30 possible designs when selecting a new image for the reverse of the American Gold Eagle. In the end, a design of the bald eagle’s head from Jennie Norris was chosen to represent the series going forward into the future. Ms. Norris is a participating artist in the US Mint’s Artistic Infusion Program.

All of these 2021 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coins are available to purchase in near-perfect condition. The PCGS grades a coin Mint State 69 when it has full, original mint luster and no more than two minor detracting flaws. Those detractions must be located outside of the primary focal points of the coin and are limited to minuscule contact marks or hairlines. First Strike coins are specimens the PCGS receives within 30 days of the US Mint’s original release date.

On the obverse of 2021 American Gold Eagle Coins is the image of Lady Liberty from Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This iconic design is one of the most replicated American coin designs in the modern bullion market. The Type 2 release now features enhanced visuals on the torch, sun rays, stars, and the U.S. Capitol Building.

The reverse side of 2021 1 oz Gold Eagles features the new design from Jennie Norris. In this design, the bald eagle head is captured in left-profile relief with incredible levels of detail. The coins in the Type 2 release now have a variation in the reeded edge design that offers anti-counterfeiting defense.
