U.S. Money Reserve Unveils the New 2026 Type 2 Gold Legacy Eagle Coin Series
The U.S. Money Reserve has taken a monumental step in the world of precious metals with the launch of its 2026 Type 2 Gold Legacy Eagle Coin Series. Continuing the legacy of the original Gold American Eagle coins, this latest release reinterprets the iconic design that has captured the hearts of collectors and investors since its inception. Established under President Ronald Reagan in 1986, the Gold American Eagle series quickly gained popularity, becoming one of the most successful U.S. Mint coin series to date. The original design, known as the "Family of Eagles," has remained a symbol of American heritage for 35 years before its retirement in 2021. However, recognizing the importance of preserving this legacy, the U.S. Money Reserve introduced the Type 1 Gold Legacy Eagle coin shortly after. The launch of the Type 2 now aims to further tribute the iconic design, which is now part of the Reagan Legacy Signature Series. This new series features hand-signed labels by Michael Reagan, emphasizing the continuing influence of his father’s legacy.
What sets the Type 2 Legacy Eagle apart is its innovative design, overseen by two former U.S. Mint directors, guaranteeing sophistication and distinctiveness. This coin features a striking portrayal of two eagles—one in flight, the other standing vigilant, with a parental eagle soaring above them. This imagery represents the passing of wisdom across generations, encapsulating the essence of unity, strength, and protection—core American values that resonate strongly today. The obverse displays a shielded eagle, symbolizing the safeguarding of precious metals, framed by a ring of stars, further enhancing its patriotic spirit.
Made from .9999 (24-karat) pure gold, the Type 2 Legacy Eagle is offered in an exclusive three-coin proof gold set comprising weights of 1 oz., 1/4 oz., and 1/10 oz. With only 500 sets produced worldwide, this limited release employs cutting-edge microminting technology to guarantee unparalleled detail and luster, giving each coin a sculptural feel devoid of any sharp edges. The two eagles are presented with a polished finish while the rock and parent eagle are given a matte look, creating a dynamic contrast that is visually impressive. The coins carry a grading of PR-70 or near-flawless PR-69 by PCGS, with the added distinction of being labeled "First Day of Issue." As part of the launch promotion, each set acquired includes a bonus 1 oz. Silver Legacy Eagle coin graded MS70, adding further appeal to potential collectors.
Philip N. Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve and former Director of the U.S. Mint, expressed pride in this new release, stating, "The Type 2 Legacy Eagle coin celebrates our shared American heritage. It uses the most universally recognized American symbol—the bald eagle—to illustrate the familial ties that forge our nation's strength." John Rothans, Chief Procurement Officer at U.S. Money Reserve, emphasized the commitment to excellence in minting and design, noting the importance of achieving incredible detail through advanced technology.
Ryan Buchanan, Chief Creative Officer at U.S. Money Reserve, elaborated on the inspiration behind the design. "In crafting the Type 2 Legacy Eagle coin, we endeavored to honor the longstanding legacy of the original Family of Eagles design, while also introducing a bold new visual narrative that looks forward to the future." This release aims not only to honor the significance of the American family but also to initiate a new era in private gold ownership, making it an attractive investment for those looking to diversify their portfolios.
