Each 2021-W 1/10 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Type 2 Coin listed here is a perfect specimen according to the NGC. Coins in PF70 condition exhibit full, original mint luster and show no detracting flaws of any kind on the design elements or background fields. The included UCAM designation on the label indicates an ultra-cameo proof. This indicates the coins have strong, frosted designs contrasting against deeply-mirrored, clear fields. Early Release coins are those received for grading within 30 days of release.

The 2021 release of Proof American Gold Eagles came in two waves. From January to June 2021, the US Mint issued coins that have become known in 2021 only as Type 1 coins because each of these have the original reverse design. This occurred in the BU and Proof range, but not the Burnished range. Starting in July 2021, the new reverse debuted on coins known as Type 2 versions to differentiate from the earlier 2021-dated releases. The Type 2 design features on the BU, Proof, and Burnished coins in the Gold Eagle Series.

Lady Liberty continues to feature on the obverse of 2021-W Proof American Gold Eagle Type 2 Coins. This design shows Liberty in front-facing relief with a large torch held up in her right hand and an olive branch in her left hand.

A new depiction of the American bald eagle now graces the reverse of 2021-W Proof Gold Eagle Type 2 Coins. This design from Jennie Norris shows the head of the bald eagle in left-profile relief with all of its physical characteristics captured in beautiful detail.
