2021 American Gold Eagle $25 Half-Ounce Type 2 NGC MS70

The 2021 American Gold Eagle $25 Half-Ounce Type 2, graded MS70 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, represents a landmark issue in the American Gold Eagle series. This coin is struck in 0.9167 fine gold at 1/2 troy ounce and carries a $25 face value issued by the United States Mint. The obverse presents Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated full-length Liberty striding forward, torch and olive branch in hand, with the date 2021 at her feet and LIBERTY arcing above. The reverse introduces the new Type 2 Eagle Portrait design by Renata Gordon — a close-up frontal portrait of a bald eagle replacing the family nest scene used since 1986, making 2021 the first and only year this reverse appeared alongside the updated obverse under the same transition. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, 25 DOLLARS, and 1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD appear on the reverse. An NGC grade of MS70 confirms this example is flawless, with no post-production imperfections visible at 5x magnification. The coin is housed in NGC's standard sonically sealed slab, making it an exhibition-ready centerpiece for any modern U.S. gold collection.
