The 2021 1/10 oz Gold Eagle (Type 2) (50-Coin MDP® + PCGS FirstStrike® Tube) is a premium bulk bullion offering from the renowned American Gold Eagle series produced by the United States Mint. Each coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of .9167 fine (22-karat) gold, providing a total of 5 troy ounces of gold in the full 50-coin tube. Each coin also carries a $5 USD legal tender face value, guaranteed by the U.S. government.
These coins are issued in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition and are preserved in MintDirect® Premier (MDP®) packaging, a tamper-evident sealing process that protects the coins and ensures they remain in the same condition as when they left the U.S. Mint. As long as the packaging remains intact, the coins are eligible for PCGS FirstStrike® certification, which indicates they were shipped from the U.S. Mint within the first 30 days of release.
The obverse features the legendary Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, depicting Liberty holding a torch and olive branch while walking forward as a symbol of freedom and enlightenment.
The reverse showcases the Type 2 bald eagle portrait designed by Jennie Norris, introduced in 2021 as the first major redesign of the American Gold Eagle series. The modern close-up depiction of the bald eagle represents strength, pride, and American heritage.
With secure MintDirect® Premier packaging, FirstStrike® eligibility, and the modern Type 2 design, the 2021 1/10 oz Gold Eagle (50-Coin MDP® + PCGS FS® Tube) is an ideal choice for investors seeking bulk fractional gold and collectors looking for preserved early-release coins.
