American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins
American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins are among the most widely recognized and trusted gold bullion products in the world. Authorized by Congress in 1985 and first issued in 1986, these coins are struck by the United States Mint to a durable 22-karat (91.67%) gold standard, a time-tested composition used for circulating gold coinage for centuries.
They are beautiful, brand new, but they are not rare coins at all. In fact, American Eagles are minted by the millions every year and are typically bought and sold at near spot gold prices. (There are a few exceptions.)
Each Gold Eagle contains its full stated weight of pure gold, with the remaining alloy of silver and copper added specifically to enhance durability. This makes American Gold Eagles more resistant to scratches and handling marks. American Eagles are minted in four sizes— one tenth, one-quarter ounce, one half and one troy ounce sizes. By law, the gold used in American Eagle coins must be sourced from newly mined gold in the United States.
Historic Design and Timeless Appeal
American Gold Eagles are rich in American numismatic history. The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens for the legendary 1907 $20 Double Eagle, widely regarded as the most beautiful coin ever produced by the U.S. Mint. The reverse design depicts an American Eagles, a powerful symbol of strength, unity, and American tradition.
U.S. Government Guarantee
American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins are America’s best-selling investment-grade gold bullion coins. They are the only gold bullion coins in the world whose weight, content, and purity are fully guaranteed by the United States Government. This guarantee makes Gold Eagles universally accepted and easily traded in major precious metals markets worldwide.
Gold Eagles are also IRA-eligible, allowing investors to include physical gold in qualified retirement accounts.
Portfolio Diversification with Physical Gold
Many financial professionals believe that adding physical gold to a diversified portfolio may help reduce overall volatility. Gold prices often move independently of stocks, bonds, and paper currencies, making gold a time-tested hedge against inflation, market uncertainty, and currency risk. American Eagle Gold Coins offer a simple, convenient, and widely recognized way to gain exposure to physical gold.
Easy to Buy, Easy to Sell, Easy to Trade
Liquidity is a key factor in any investment. Thanks to their U.S. Government backing, global recognition, and consistent demand, American Gold Eagles are among the easiest gold bullion coins to buy and sell. They are readily accepted by coin dealers, bullion firms, and investors worldwide. Although they carry a legal tender face value, that value is symbolic; their true worth is based on the prevailing market price of gold.
