Description

The 2021-W American Gold Eagle $10 NGC MS69 Type 2 with Jennie Norris Signed Label is one of the most collectible 1/4 oz Gold Eagle issues of the modern era. Struck at the West Point Mint, this coin carries the "W" mint mark and represents the landmark introduction of the redesigned Type 2 reverse — a pivotal redesign that debuted in 2021 and modernized the series after more than three decades. The obverse retains Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Walking Liberty motif, while the Type 2 reverse showcases Jennie Norris's bold close-up Eagle Portrait, replacing the family-of-eagles design that had defined the series since 1986. Containing 1/4 troy oz of 0. 9167 fine gold with a $10 face value, this coin was assigned a near-perfect grade of MS69 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company. The coin is securely housed in NGC's tamper-evident sonically sealed holder, ready for display or the registry.
