The $25, half-ounce Gold Eagle consistently posts the lowest of the four denominations of the coin struck each year. The relative scarcity of these coins only becomes meaningful to secondary markets after the end of the issue year. Smart numismatic investors buy them before prices start to rise.
$25 Gold: By the Numbers
11 of the 36 issues produced by the Mint list on NGC/PCGS price guides for $4,400 or more in MS-70 condition!

Since 1986, 36 issues of this coin have been released. Almost one in three have gained over 1,400%
