In 2006, the US Mint debuted a collector version of the Burnished American Gold Eagles with a matte finish. Struck at the US Mint at West Point utilizing advanced technology, the coin now includes anti-counterfeit variable reeding along the edge, which provides higher security.
The obverse closely resembles Augustus Saint-Gaudens' original design of the Liberty figure. The full-length Liberty with flowing hair shows her holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. In 2021, a new detailed profile of an American eagle was created and introduced for the reverse. It was designed by US Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer Jennie Norris, who signs certification labels exclusively for NGC. 2024-W Uncirculated Gold Eagles certified with the NGC Jennie Norris Signature Label will be available through select retailers.
