The 2021 1 oz Gold Eagle (Type 1) MS-70 PCGS (Last Day of Production) is a historically significant bullion issue struck by the United States Mint. This coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is minted in durable 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for enhanced strength while maintaining full gold content.
The Type 1 designation refers to the original reverse design by Miley Busiek, depicting a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings. The year 2021 marked the final production of this iconic reverse before the introduction of the new Type 2 design, making this issue especially important within the series.
Certified Mint State-70 (MS-70) by the Professional Coin Grading Service, this coin is graded as a perfect specimen with flawless surfaces, sharp strike detail, and full original mint luster under 5x magnification.
The Last Day of Production designation confirms the coin was struck on the final day the U.S. Mint produced the Type 1 reverse design, adding strong collectible appeal and transitional-year significance.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful motifs in American coinage.
