Coin Details

Description

The 2012 (P) American Eagle Twenty Five Dollar Gold is a Gold Eagle produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the American Eagle Twenty Five Dollar Gold 1986 to Date series. With a mintage of 43,000, this is a scarce issue — the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 77% of production. The obverse features Liberty striding forward holding a torch and olive branch, with rays of sunlight behind her — widely considered the most beautiful U.S. coin design — adapted from the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle and the reverse displays a family of eagles — an adult and two juveniles — in a nest, designed by Miley Busiek (1986-2020) or an eagle portrait by Jennie Norris, the redesigned reverse introduced in 2021 (2021+). A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value is approximately $5.1K. Struck in 91.67% gold, 3% silver, 5.33% copper, weighing 16.97 grams, 27 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #509904.
