Values
A palladium eagle’s market depends on the metal and on the finish. This page is a series reference, not a price list.
The mintage chart leaves G, VF, and MS-63 blank. The NGC US Coin Price Guide file retrieved 2026-08-21 does not cover this coin. A proof in a capsule is not the bullion row.
If you have one and want to sell it, start with how to sell a coin collection. The Mercury dime is the small silver coin with this obverse. The American Platinum Eagle is the other platinum-group bullion coin.
Key Dates
No key list was copied onto this page. A short bullion list is not a key-date list.
Errors
Limits are not mintages. The first column of caps stays off. A limit that happens to match a bullion cell is still not entered twice.
Proofs and burnished coins. A W mint mark on this series is a collector finish. Those columns stay off.
A shifted row. One year places a collector finish under a later column and repeats the same figure as a total. The bullion cell in that row is a dash. The figure is not moved into the bullion column.
Compare the coin to the NGC Coin Explorer palladium eagle pages. We do not host their plates. The explorer is not the mintage source for this chart.
Varieties
One design: Weinman’s winged Liberty and an eagle, on a one-ounce palladium piece. A W mint mark is a proof or a burnished coin, not one of the bullion rows. There is no second design on this page.

Mintage
Bullion strikes only. Two years have a bullion count in the table used here.
| Year | Mint | Mintage | G | VF | MS-63 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 1 oz | 15,000 Bullion strike. A mintage limit is not this cell. Proofs and burnished coins stay off. | — | — | — |
| 2021 | 1 oz | 8,700 Bullion strike. A mintage limit is not this cell. Proofs and burnished coins stay off. | — | — | — |

Specifications
These are mint specs, not what a dealer pays. Wear can take a little weight off. We will not invent a tolerance. The Mercury dime planchet is not this coin, and no catalog page used here prints a thickness for the palladium eagle.

| Diameter | Not printed |
| Thickness | Not printed |
| Weight | Not printed |
| Composition | Not printed on a cited catalog page |
| Edge | Not printed on a cited catalog page |

No catalog page used for the palladium eagle prints a thickness. Diameter, weight, and thickness stay Not printed. The Mercury dime planchet is not copied onto this coin.
Grading
A palladium eagle wears on the winged cap and the hair at the forehead.
Only the bullion column is charted. A W mint mark is a collector finish.
Key Diagnostic Areas
| Area | What to examine | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| The cap | The wing and the hair where they meet the forehead. | Those high points go first. A ten-cent coin with this portrait is a Mercury dime. |
| The reverse | The eagle on the reverse, not a family of eagles. | This is not a gold eagle and not a platinum eagle. |
| The mint mark | No mint mark, or a W. | The two bullion rows have no W. Proofs and burnished coins stay off. |
Circulated & Mint State

What each named grade looks like on this design.
Poor
Poor
A disk you can still call a palladium eagle if you already know the type.
- The wing and the forehead are gone.
- The date may be a shadow. Do not scrape it.
- Shine does not make this a better coin.
AG
About Good
You might read a digit. The high points on this palladium eagle are already slick.
- The wing and the forehead are worn to a blank patch.
- If you cannot read the date without hoping, stay here.
- A bullion strike is still this grade if it is this worn.
Good
Good
The date is readable. The design is still mostly an outline.
- The wing and the forehead are flat. The type is an outline, not a portrait.
- The rim should be full enough to hold the legend.
- This is a worn coin, not a details story.
VG
Very Good
The date is clear. A little life returns away from the high points.
- Some leftover detail sits away from the wing and the forehead.
- The high points are still tired.
- Do not clean the date to “see it better.”
Fine
Fine
You can follow the design. The high points are outlined, not sharp.
- The wing and the forehead are outlined and flat — no real sharpness yet.
- The rest of the coin can look busier than the grade.
- The date should be clear. The mint mark should be too, if there is one.
VF
Very Fine
The type is doing real work. The wing and the forehead still decide.
- Leftover detail sits on the wing and the forehead. The centers are still the worn spot.
- Marks do not raise the grade.
- A regular bullion strike is still this grade if it is this worn.
EF
Extremely Fine
Most of the coin looks sharp. The high points tell on it.
- Light wear on the wing and the forehead.
- The rest of the coin can look better than the grade. Trust the high points.
- The date should be sharp.
AU
About Uncirculated
Almost no wear — and “almost” lives on the same high points.
- A trace of rub on the wing and the forehead.
- Luster may still sit in the fields. Rub on those high points is still rub.
- A bright coin with a slick high point is still slick.
Basal MS
Mint State
No wear. The fight is marks and luster, not how white the coin looks.
- No rub on the wing and the forehead.
- Marks and luster decide how this mint-state coin lives.
- A bright chewed-up coin is still chewed-up.
Choice
Choice Mint State
Still no wear. Cleaner fields than basal mint state.
- Same no-wear rule on the wing and the forehead.
- Fewer marks in the fields. Luster is more intact.
- White is not a grade.
Gem
Gem Mint State
A clean palladium eagle for this type. Still mint state, still not a story.
- No wear on the wing and the forehead.
- Marks and luster, not a romance about a date or a white field.
- A slab is an opinion in plastic. The glossary has the numbers.
Proof palladium eagles exist. This page does not invent a PR price grid. The proof numbers live on the glossary.
Copper color designations do not apply to this palladium coin. See the Lincoln Wheat cent and the glossary.
Overview
The American Palladium Eagle is a one-ounce bullion coin that began in 2017. The obverse is Weinman’s winged Liberty. The reverse is an eagle. Most years after the first were sold as proofs or as burnished uncirculated coins, not as bullion. This chart keeps only the bullion column.
No paired public-domain type plate was added. The placeholder is intentional. A Mercury dime photograph would be the wrong coin.
This page is a series article, not a shop listing.
History
The first bullion issue and one later bullion issue are the rows. The table prints a mintage limit beside them. The limit is not the chart. Later years show a W and a count under proof, reverse proof, or burnished. Those cells stay in their columns.
A dealer page linked from a year cell is not a second source. The figure used here is the bullion cell in the Wikipedia table.
Design
Obverse: Liberty in a winged cap, Weinman’s dime portrait, scaled to a one-ounce palladium piece. Reverse: an eagle. It is not the gold eagle’s family of eagles and not the Saint-Gaudens figure. The edge and the weight separate it from a dime immediately.
A W mint mark means you are holding a collector finish. It is not one of the two bullion rows.
People Also Ask
Why are most years missing?
Most rows in the mintage table are proofs or burnished coins. The bullion column is a dash in those years. A dash is not a row.
Is the mintage limit the mintage?
No. The limit column is a cap. This chart uses the bullion column when that cell is a count.
Why does the portrait look like a Mercury dime?
The obverse is Adolph A. Weinman’s winged Liberty, the dime design. The dime is a ten-cent coin. This page is a one-ounce palladium bullion coin.
How much is a palladium eagle worth?
This page does not print guide prices. The NGC US Coin Price Guide file retrieved 2026-08-21 does not include this series. Palladium value moves. It is not a grade column.
Collector Considerations
Read the mint mark before you look for a row. No mint mark can be the bullion strike. A W is the proof or the burnished coin, and this chart does not list it.
The Mercury dime page is the right place for the ten-cent coin. The platinum eagle is the other modern bullion coin in this part of the hub.
A Final Word
The palladium eagle page charts the bullion column and leaves the rest of the table alone.
The grade columns stay blank until a guide extract exists for this series.
