The 2024 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle MS-70 NGC (First Day of Issue) is part of the renowned American Gold Eagle bullion series, produced annually by the United States Mint since 1986. Each coin contains 1/4 troy ounce of .9167 fine gold (22-karat) and carries a $10 face value, guaranteed by the U.S. government for its weight and purity.
This example has been certified MS-70 by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), the highest possible Mint State grade. Coins graded MS-70 are considered perfect specimens, showing full original mint luster and no visible imperfections even under magnification.
The First Day of Issue (FDOI) designation indicates the coin was received by NGC for grading within the first 24 hours after the U.S. Mint released the coin, meaning it comes from the earliest available production batches.
The coin’s obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, depicting Liberty striding forward with a torch and olive branch—symbols of enlightenment and peace.
The reverse showcases the modern bald eagle portrait introduced in 2021 and designed by Jennie Norris, presenting a powerful close-up of the eagle’s head that reflects strength, pride, and American heritage.
Encapsulated in an official NGC protective holder, the coin is preserved in its certified condition and protected from handling or environmental damage.
With its perfect MS-70 grade, First Day of Issue pedigree, and iconic American design, the 2024 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle MS-70 NGC (FDOI) is a premium addition to both modern U.S. coin collections and precious-metal investment portfolios.
