American Palladium Eagle: History & Background
The American Palladium Eagle is the newest addition to the US Mint's bullion program, first struck in 2017. The coin's design pays tribute to Adolph A. Weinman's 1907 American Institute of Architects gold medal, featuring a high-relief Winged Liberty on the obverse and an eagle clutching a branch on the reverse. Each coin contains one troy ounce of .9995 fine palladium. The bullion version was produced in 2017, followed by proof versions in 2018 and 2019, and a reverse proof in 2020. Mintages have been extremely limited across all years, making this one of the most exclusive modern US Mint offerings.
How to Grade a American Palladium Eagle
Accurate grading is the single most important factor in determining a coin's value. A difference of just a few grade points can mean 10× or more in value. Examine the highest points of the design first — these are where wear appears earliest. For the finest grades, luster, strike quality, and surface preservation all matter. Professional grading by PCGS or NGC adds certainty and typically increases resale value. Read our complete grading guide →
