The following is a Press Release from Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) announcing it will offer special labels and designations for the 2024 American Eagle Gold Proof Coins. The United States Mint will release the American Eagle Gold Proof coins and sets later today.
On May 2, 2024, the US Mint will release the 2024-W Proof Gold Eagles, which will be available for purchase individually and as part of the American Eagle 2024 Gold Proof Four-Coin Set. The four-coin set has a household order limit of 3 and a product limit of only 10,000. The 2024-W Proof Gold Eagles can also be purchased individually, including a $5 tenth-ounce coin with a product limit of 18,000, a $10 quarter-ounce coin with a product limit of 8,000, a $25 half-ounce coin with a product limit of 5,000 and a $50 one-ounce coin with a product limit of 9,500.
Numismatic Guaranty Company® (NGC®) is offering special labels and designations for the new coins, including the NGC West Point Mint Gold Star Label, and the popular NGC Early Releases and First Releases labels and designations.
The 2024 coins continue to feature Lady Liberty facing forward with a torch and olive branch in hand, including multiple enhancements to more closely reflect Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ original design. In addition, the one-ounce coin has anti-counterfeiting variable reeding that was introduced in 2021.
The reverse design depicts a portrait of an eagle head in superb detail, which debuted alongside the program’s 35th anniversary in 2021. Artist Jennie Norris, who signs certification labels exclusively for NGC, created the reverse image. The NGC Jennie Norris Signature Label is available for NGC-certified American Gold Eagles through select retailers.
