Slabbed One Ounce Gold Eagle 2022 (MS69)
Description Slabbed One Ounce Gold Eagle (MS69) dated 2022. There was a grading system from the 1940s that ascribed a number between 1 and 70 to each coin (70 being mint condition). Dr William Sheldon’s scale worked on the basis that a coin graded at 70 would be valued at 70 times more than the value of a coin graded at 1. This scale forms the basis of the grading system today. **MS** stands for Mint State, a term used to indicate that the coins are the same issue as circulated coins, but in good enough condition to fall between 60 and 70 on the Sheldon scale. The coins are slabbed to maintain the condition in a protective case. In 2021, a “type 2” coin was released to mark the 35^th^ Anniversary of the Gold Eagle, updating the iconic coin to a special design featuring a close up of the Bald Eagle. This is the first re-design since 1986. The obverse of the slabbed Eagle coin features Lady Liberty holding a torch and olive branch.
