The 2015 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle MS-70 NGC (FR, Wide Reeds) is a premium certified bullion coin from the renowned American Gold Eagle series issued by the United States Mint. Struck from .9167 fine (22-karat) gold, the coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold and carries a $5 USD legal tender face value, guaranteed by the U.S. government for weight and purity.
This coin is graded MS-70 by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), the highest possible Mint State grade, meaning the coin is perfect with flawless surfaces and full original mint luster. The coin is sealed in an official NGC protective holder, ensuring authenticity and long-term preservation.
The First Releases (FR) designation indicates that the coin was received by NGC for grading within the first 30 days of release from the U.S. Mint, making it especially attractive to collectors seeking early-issue coins.
This example also features the Wide Reeds variety, referring to the slightly wider spacing between the reeded edges on the coin’s rim. Variety distinctions such as this add extra interest for collectors who focus on specific minting characteristics.
The obverse displays the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, depicting Liberty walking forward with a torch and olive branch as symbols of freedom and enlightenment.
The reverse features the classic Type 1 eagle family design by Miley Busiek, showing a male bald eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings.
With its perfect MS-70 grade, First Releases designation, and collectible Wide Reeds variety, the 2015 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle MS-70 NGC is a highly desirable piece for both precious-metal investors and dedicated coin collectors.
