2019 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle MS-70 PCGS (First Day of Issue)

---

The 2019 issue of the half-ounce American Gold Eagle coin represents a beautiful marriage of historic and modern American numismatic art. Struck from gold with a purity of 0.9167, this twenty-five dollar denomination coin has been certified in perfect Mint State 70 condition, indicating its flawless strike and preservation. On the obverse, the design is inspired by the classic early twentieth-century work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It portrays Lady Liberty striding forward with strength, illuminated by the radiating rays of a rising sun. The word LIBERTY is inscribed above her, accompanied by the year 2019. The reverse, created by Miley Busiek, presents a powerful family scene of the national bird. A male bald eagle is captured mid-flight as he returns to his nest, clutching an olive branch. Waiting in the nest are a female eagle and their young. This side features the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, and details the weight and face value as 1/2 OZ. FINE GOLD 25 DOLLARS.
