In 2021, the Proof American Gold Eagle Coin was issued with its original design combinations for the final time. The US Mint marked the 35th anniversary of the series with a new design introduced on the reverse midyear. This makes these original 2021-W Proof American Gold Eagles the final coins with the original obverse and reverse design elements. Today, 2021-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins in near-perfect condition are available to you online from JM Bullion.

As 2021 marked the final release of Proof American Gold Eagles with the original 1986 design from Miley Busiek on the reverse, the US Mint limited the mintage of the coins to ensure enough blanks were available to allocate to the release of 2021 Type 2 coins with the new design. Just 4,500 of these coins were offered in the original presentation packaging, with the mintage limit in total capped at 12,700 for the 2021 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle.

All of the 2021-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins in this listing at JM Bullion come with a near-perfect certification. A PF69 coin exhibits full, original mint luster with a maximum of two minor detracting flaws. Those flaws are limited in nature to minuscule contact marks or hairlines and must be located outside of the primary focal points of the coin. The UCAM label included within the slab indicates a coin that has ultra-cameo-proof visuals. This means the designs have a strong, frosted appearance while the background field is deeply-mirrored and clear.

Obverse design elements on the 2021-W 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle include the historic image of Lady Liberty. Designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907, it features Liberty in front-facing relief as she holds up a torch in her right hand and carries an olive branch in her left. The background field comes with rays of sun reaching out from the horizon and a ring of 50 stars around Liberty.

Reverse visuals on the 2021-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coin include Miley Busiek’s exclusive design for this series. Introduced in 1986, it depicts a family of bald eagles around its nest. The female eagle is in the nest with a hatchling as a male eagle soars overhead.
