2026 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle MS-70 NGC (First Day of Issue)
The 2026 half-ounce Gold American Eagle represents a modern continuation of one of the most recognized bullion programs in the United States, which first commenced in 1986. Struck by the United States Mint from 22-karat gold, this twenty-five dollar denomination coin contains exactly 0.5000 troy ounces of fine gold. This specific piece has achieved the highest possible grading of Mint State 70 (MS-70) and is certified as a First Day of Issue, indicating it was among the very first coins received for grading upon release. On the obverse, the figure of Lady Liberty stands as a timeless symbol of freedom, accompanied by the year 2026. The reverse displays the powerful image of a bald eagle, a national emblem of strength and grace. Legible inscriptions on the coin include the United States of America, the traditional mottos "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM", alongside the face value of 25 dollars and the metal weight designation of 1/2 oz. fine gold.
