The Proof American Gold Eagle is arguably the most popular gold collector’s item from the United States Mint. Issued annually by the mint, the Proof Gold Eagle celebrates its 35^th anniversary in 2021. As part of the celebration, two important things will occur. First, the US Mint is debuting a new reverse design of the eagle. Second, that design won’t be available until mid-2021, resulting in the release of two versions this year as the series starts with the old design combinations. Now, 2021-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins in perfect condition are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.

Proof American Gold Eagle Coins issued in 2021 will come in two versions. From the initial release of the coins in late 2020 and early 2021, the design elements will feature Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty on the obverse with Miley Busiek’s bald eagle family on the reverse. Starting in mid-2021, new 2021-dated Proof Gold Eagles will come out replacing the existing reverse design with a new depiction of the bald eagle.

As part of the 35^th anniversary, the United States Mint is offering a fresh take on the images for the reverse of both the Silver Eagle and Gold Eagle. Both coins will first be produced with the original design combinations before a switchover at the US Mint to accommodate striking the new designs for each.

Lady Liberty from Augustus Saint-Gaudens features on the obverse side of 2021-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagles. This vision of Liberty depicts her figure in front-facing relief walking toward the viewer holding up a large torch and an olive branch.

A family of American bald eagles is found on the reverse of the 2021-W 1 oz Proof Gold Eagle for the final time. The design element was created exclusively for this series in 1986 by Miley Busiek and depicts a male eagle soaring over the nest as a female eagle shelters a hatchling in the nest.

These 2021-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle Coins are perfect specimens. A PR70 coin is one that showcases full, original mint luster with no detracting flaws present. The DCAM label is only issued to proof coins and indicates the presence of strong, frosted designs and deeply-mirrored, clear fields. The First Strike label means the coins were received for grading in the first 30 days after release.
