Description
The 2021 (W) Proof American Eagle Twenty Five Dollar Gold - Type 2 is a proof Gold Eagle struck at the West Point Mint, part of the American Eagle Twenty Five Dollar Gold 1986 to Date series. With a mintage of just 9,800, this is a rare issue sought by specialists. 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, while 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+). Designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens (obverse) / Miley Busiek (reverse 1986-2020) / Jennie Norris (reverse 2021+). Struck in 91.67% gold, 3% silver, 5.33% copper, 27 mm in diameter. Cataloged as PCGS #887376. The half-ounce American Gold Eagle contains 1/2 troy ounce of 22-karat gold. Proof and burnished editions are produced annually. The 2021 Type 1/Type 2 transition created dual collectible issues.
