Due to an error at the mint, a small number of 1/4 Type 2 Gold Eagles were struck with a die intended for use with a proof coin. Identified by a W mint mark not found on bullion coins, this is the first rare variety known for Type 2 Eagles.
For the first time since their 1986 introduction, the Gold and Silver Eagles are receiving an updated design mid-year 2021. This mid-year introduction, coming at a time of unprecedented demand for bullion, has led to a very limited supply of coins available at launch. Act now to add the
first issue of the new design to your collection!
A limited number of bullion coins were inadvertently struck using dies intended for proof coinage, featuring the "W" mint mark added to the obverse, but before the dies were polished for proof production. This led to the first rare variety known for any of the Type 2 Eagles.
Coin Highlights:
- Each coin contains 1/4 oz actual Gold weight.
- First year of the historic redesign of the Gold Eagle, adding collectible value to these Gold coins!
- PCGS encapsulation protects and guarantees the perfect 70 condition of the coin and the Unfinished Proof Dies designation certifies that this coin is among the few inadvertently struck with partially prepared proof dies.
