Each 2025 1 oz American Gold Eagle Coin offered by BullionMax comes with a Mint State 69 certification. This grade is given to coins that are considered nearly perfect, with full mint luster and only minor imperfections that are outside the prime focal areas. These imperfections are usually tiny contact marks or hairlines. First Strike coins are those graded within 30 days of release from the mint.

The design on the reverse of the American Gold Eagle Coin has featured the American bald eagle since the coin’s creation. The bald eagle holds special meaning in Native American culture, where it is seen as a sacred bird that connects people to the divine. Its feathers are considered holy and play an important role in many ceremonies and traditions.

The obverse of the 2025 American Gold Eagle displays the famous image of Lady Liberty. Created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907, this design shows Liberty holding a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. It was originally made for the $20 Double Eagle coin and was used until 1933.

On the reverse of the 2025 1 oz Gold Eagle Coin is an updated design of the bald eagle. This modern depiction, which was introduced in 2021 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the series, shows the eagle’s head in left-profile relief, with fine details capturing the bird’s majestic appearance.
