Each 2022 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Coin in this listing comes in near-perfect condition with a plastic slab. Mint state 69 coins exhibit full, original mint luster and a maximum of two minor detracting flaws. These minor detractions are limited to minuscule contact marks or hairlines only and must be located outside of the primary focal points of the coin. The Early Release label means the coins were received for grading inside 30 days of release from the mint.

In 2022, the American Gold Eagle marks its first full year with the new reverse design from Jennie Norris. Created in 2020, this image debuted on the coins in mid-2021 as the US Mint transitioned midyear from the original design from Miley Busiek to this new image.

Liberty still features on the obverse of 2022 American Gold Eagle Coins. This design was created back in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens for the $20 Gold Double Eagle coin. It shows Liberty in front-facing relief as she walks toward you. Her right hand holds up a torch to light the way as her left hand carries an olive branch. The background field includes the U.S. Capitol Building at her feet, sun rays emerging from the horizon, and a ring of 50 stars around her figure.

A new depiction of the American bald eagle graces the reverse of 2022 1/2 oz Gold Eagle Coins. This design was created by Jennie Norris, a member of the US Mint Artistic Infusion Program. It captures the head of the bald eagle in left-profile relief as its stoic gaze is fixed on an unseen object in the distance. The details in the design capture the layered plumage of the bird perfectly.
