Beginning in 1986, the United States reintroduced gold coinage to the American people in the form of the American Gold Eagle series. After 35 years of mintage, the U.S. Mint changed the reverse of this iconic coin. The 2022 American Gold Eagle will forever be remembered as the beginning of a new era in numismatics. The obverse has also been improved using modern mint technology, bringing it closer to Saint-Gaudens' artistic vision for his Double Eagle series. This 1 oz American Gold Eagle was struck at the West Point Mint in 2022 and has been graded in perfect Proof 70 Ultra Cameo condition. To add to the rarity of this coin, it is housed in an Advance Release holder, which is reserved for coins submitted directly to NGC from approved mint dealers before the official release date.
