Note that in 2021 the United States Mint released a Type 1 and Type 2 option for the American Gold Eagle Series. New dies created for the new design were not ready in late 2020 when the US Mint began striking 2021-dated coins. As a result, the mint issued the original American Eagle design using the “Type 1″ designation, with the subsequent shift to the new reverse designs designated as “Type 2.”
