The obverse of the 2021 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle coin features a walking Lady Liberty. This design was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and depicts a full-length figure of Lady Liberty walking, her hair flowing, a torch in her extended right hand, and an olive branch in her left hand.
The reverse of the 2021 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle coin features the original design in the series from Miley Busiek. In this design, a male eagle soars over a family nest with a female and young hatchling inside the nest.
The 2021 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle coin earned a PF69 certification from the NGC. This means that they are fully struck coins with a maximum of two minimal flaws. Those flaws are limited in nature to minuscule contact marks or hairlines that must be outside the primary focal points.
In addition, the 2021 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle coin earned two additional labels, enhancing their value. First, the UCAM designation, which means they have been struck with specially polished dies that give the coins a deeply-mirrored finish with clear background fields. Second, the Early Release label. To qualify for the ER label, the coins must have been received by the NGC, or an NGC-approved depository, within the first 30 days of the coins release. Each of these coins bears the W mint mark on the obverse, indicating its striking at the West Point Mint.
