2021 $50 1-oz Burnished Gold Eagle Type 2 NGC MS70 First Day of Issue w/Black Core & Norris Signature

A New Burnished Gold Eagle Takes Flight In 2021!

Ever since their debut in 2006, the Burnished $50 Gold Eagle has consistently been one of the scarcest Gold Eagles in the flock! Struck specifically for collectors by the West Point Mint, Burnished Gold Eagles are created from specially prepared 22-karat gold blanks that give each coin a distinctive smooth, matte-like surface, as well as razor-sharp details and blazing luster. No wonder Eagle fans around the world snap them up in short order every year they’re issued!

A Magnificent Matte Finish Meets A New Design!

This 2021 Type 2 Burnished Silver Gold showcases the best of American artistry and craftsmanship. Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ classic design of Lady Liberty from the famous 1907 Gold Double Eagle graces the obverse while the new Type 2 Eagle designed by Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) artist Jennie Norris and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Renata Gordon replaces Miley Busiek’s popular Family of Eagles design. However, the artisans at the West Point Mint add a special dimension to this time-tested standard. Each one ounce blank of 91.67% fine gold is specially burnished, giving the finished Gold Eagle a smooth matte finish. In addition, the coin is also struck with a special “W” mintmark, unlike the BU Gold Eagle. It all comes together in a spectacular coin that your collection can’t be without!

The Face of the New American Gold Eagle

The new Gold Eagle reverse design is the work of Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) artist Jennie Norris and was sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Renata Gordon. It displays a new “Eagle Portrait” reverse design portraying a realistic, close-up profile of a bald eagle that captures the intricate details of its plumage and its steely gaze. As the second design for 2021, these Gold Eagles coins have been given a Type 2 pedigree to differentiate them from the Type 1 coins that bear the original Busiek Family of Eagles reverse design. It also represents a monumental year for the Gold Eagle Series with both a first AND a last in the same year of one of the Mint’s most popular coins!

Perfect One-Ounce Type 2 Burnished Gold Eagles From Among the First Issued

Each 2021 Type 2 Gold Eagle available in this offer has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded coins have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, NGC has certified that these Gold Eagles are First Day of Issue (FDI) coins, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Also, the population of coins labeled First Day of Issue is only a fraction of the total mintage.

Signed Sealed & Delivered

As a final touch, each coin available here has been sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a unique black display core and encapsulated with a label personally signed by the coin’s designer, Jennie Norris! Combine the Gold Eagle’s elite status among collectors with the fact that this is the first year of the new Type 2 “Eagle Portrait” design and you have a classic recipe for intense demand! Now, you can secure one of these key 2021 One-Ounce Type 2 Gold Eagles! But don’t wait long; we’re expecting them to barely touch down in our vault before an army of collectors swoop in to empty our shelves!
