2017 1 oz PCGS MS-69 First Strike Gold American Eagle

2017 1 Ounce Gold American Eagle Coin PCGS MS-69 First Strike For Sale

Assigned a near-perfect grade of MS-69 by PCGS, these 1 oz American Gold Eagles are the graded variant of the 2017 issue of this coin. These coins are official gold bullion coins of the United States, first struck in 1986.

In addition to the grade, these products bear the ‘First Strike’ label, which means that the PCGS guarantees these coins to be from the first lot of American Gold Eagles minted that year.

Each coin is minted using 0.9167 pure Gold weighing exactly 1 troy ounce. Moreover, these particular coins are sealed in PCGS slabs, guaranteeing the authenticity and condition of the coin as certified.

Coincidentally, the PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) was founded in 1985, just a year before the American Gold Eagles were first minted. They have graded and authenticated coins worth upwards of $29 billion to date.

Featuring iconic American imagery on both sides, these designs are instantly recognized throughout the globe. Saint-Gaudens’ famous portrayal of the Lady Liberty, striding forward with the rising sun in the backdrop is nothing short of a masterpiece, appreciated by all.

Although the difference between a near-perfect MS-69 coin and a perfect MS-70 coin is not discernible to the naked eye, the perfect variety tends to carry heavier premiums than the MS-69 version.

Hence, these near-perfect coin specimens are a popular purchase for those who want to obtain coins with unbroken luster and show-stopping sheen, and do not mind the finer, microscopic imperfections.
