On the date of the American Eagle program’s 35th anniversary, the U.S. Mint has proudly introduced a new era for the American Gold Eagle coins with a new design by artist Jennie Norris featuring a stunning portrayal of the iconic American bald eagle on the reverse of the coin, and Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ historic depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse of the coin.

Crafted in the highest degree of detail, the 2021 American Gold Eagle (Type 2) coins’ legacy details have been restored for the obverse design to include modifications to the Capitol Building, stars, torch, sun rays, and other design elements. Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ full-length figure of Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left display brilliantly.

A new American bald eagle design is featured on the reverse side of the 2021 American Gold Eagle Type 2 Coins. Type 2 refers to the new design from Jennie Norris that captures the left side is an American bald eagle in stunning detail. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “50 DOLLARS,” and “1 OZ. FINE GOLD.”

Each 2021 1 oz American Gold Eagle Type 2 Coin listed here comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

The coins in the 1 oz American Gold Eagle Series are packaged in plastic flips for individual coins. Also available in tubes of 20, or Monster Boxes of 500. The Monster Box holds a total of 25 individual tubes of 20 coins each. Call for discounts on tube and monster box orders.

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.”
