American Gold Eagle

Classic Beauty and Popularity at a Competitive Price

The American Gold Eagle Bullion coins were first introduced by the U.S. Mint in the fall of 1986 as a viable alternative to other major gold bullion coins of the World. The American Gold Eagle was an instant success among gold bullion buyers. The U.S. Mint reprised Augustus St. Gaudens’ beautiful Liberty design that was featured on the circulating $20.00 gold coins of the early 1900’s. The Gold Eagle has been issued every year since its 1986 introduction in four sizes: One Ounce, Half Ounce, Quarter Ounce and Tenth Ounce.

Buying American Eagle Gold Coins is convenient. They are readily available at almost any time. Though there are gold coins that can be bought for less, American Eagles sell at reasonable premiums over their gold value. Customers who favor American Eagles appreciate the popularity of an American product and contribute to the strong demand for these coins. An additional advantage of the American Eagle is its ability to be held in a precious metals IRA.
