Proof American Eagle Gold Coins were one of two versions of the American Eagle Gold Coin issued during the first half of 2021. As the US Mint celebrated the 35^th anniversary of the series, the Type 1 coins with the original reverse design from Miley Busiek were issued only in BU and Proof. With the debut of the 2021 Type 2 coins, the BU, Proof, and Burnished versions were all issued.
