The 2025 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle MS-69 PCGS (FirstStrike®) is a highly collectible fractional gold coin produced by the United States Mint and certified by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service). Each coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of .9167 fine gold (22-karat), strengthened with small amounts of copper and silver for durability while maintaining its intrinsic gold value.
Graded Mint State 69 (MS-69) by PCGS, this coin is considered near-perfect, displaying exceptional strike quality, strong mint luster, and only minimal imperfections visible under magnification. The FirstStrike® designation confirms that the coin was shipped from the U.S. Mint and received by PCGS for grading within the first 30 days of the coin’s release, adding additional collectible appeal.
The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, depicting Liberty walking forward while holding a torch and olive branch as symbols of freedom and enlightenment. The reverse showcases the modern Type 2 bald eagle portrait, introduced in 2021 and designed by Jennie Norris, presenting a detailed close-up of America’s national bird.
Encased in a secure PCGS holder, the coin is authenticated and protected for long-term preservation. Its certified grade and early-release status make it an excellent addition to both precious-metal investment portfolios and numismatic collections.
