The Certified American $10 Gold Eagle 2016 MS70 NGC Early Releases has been certified by NGC and sports the ideal grade of MS70. Collectors know to flock towards the certified coins for multiple reasons. The value of the coin increases when its grade is validated by a reputable grading agency. Collectors can be confident that their coins' authenticity cannot be disputed. Every graded coin is packaged in an air tight coin holder, which makes for excellent storing and protection. Not to be confused with the Pre-1933 double eagle, also a $10 gold coin, the Certified American $10 Gold Eagle 2016 MS70 NGC Early Releases exhibits the famous 100 year old design by sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The American Gold Eagles are usually minted upon the demand, which has been record breaking the last few years.
In 1986, the production of the first American Gold Eagle was authorized by the Gold Bullion Act of 1985. The US Mint immediately started the production, unknowing of the legacy they were about to mint. In 2016, the American Gold Eagle celebrates its 30th anniversary, as the nation's official bullion coin. Sticking with the tried and true design of the last 30 years, the US Mint's quality control is heightened for this special birthday.
