2021 American Gold Eagle Proof Coins with Family of Eagles Reverse Design
The American Gold Eagle Proof is the quintessential collectible gold coin issued by the United States. The Mint historically strikes this coin in four sizes, sold individually, and sold as a set. The sizes include 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz. and 1/10 oz. The proofs feature the sought after “W” mint mark as they are struck at the West Point U.S. Mint branch. Each coin contains the specified amount of gold bullion and is guaranteed by the Mint. The series is struck on 91.67% pure gold blanks that receive special preparation, along with their corresponding proof dies prior to striking.
The first issued 2021 American Gold Eagles will be among the last issues to feature this iconic, original reverse design. Mid-year, the Mint will retire the original reverse of the American Gold Eagle series and will issue coins for the rest of the year featuring the updated reverse.
