Surprise Variety 2021 American Gold Eagle Discovered!
In an exciting numismatic development, an uncirculated 2021 American Gold Eagle with a W Mintmark has been discovered. Normally the West Point mintmark would only be struck on Proof issue American Gold Eagles, making this a rare variety. Whenever a new design is implemented in the middle of the year, collectors can only hope for these intriguing varieties.
As reported from CoinWorld.com:
“Such varieties are not unprecedented. As Paul Gilkes reports in his news coverage this week, similar American Eagle gold bullion coins have been produced in the past. All are scarce and all bring premiums well above a normal bullion coin of the same kind.
Errors and varieties on modern U.S. coins are encountered less frequently today than they were in the past, thanks to technical improvements that prevent such pieces from being struck or catch those that are produced. However, human frailties continue and mishaps slip past inspectors. The quarter-ounce coin is tiny and its Mint mark even tinier.”
