U.S. Mint Launches 1776-2026 Enhanced Uncirculated Gold Eagle
May 28, 2026
The 2026-W Enhanced Uncirculated American Gold Eagle launches today from the United States Mint, carrying a premium price but also several features that will make it one of the year’s most watched collector coins.
Most notably, it is the first American Gold Eagle struck with the Mint’s enhanced uncirculated finish. This special treatment combines laser frosting for a brilliant metallic luster with selective matte laser finishing, creating dramatic high-contrast visuals. The coin also features a 1776 ~ 2026 dual date and a Liberty Bell "250" privy mark, both honoring the nation’s Semiquincentennial.
