History of the coin:


Gold American Eagle coins first minted in 1986, the Gold Eagle is the #1 gold bullion coin choice among investors across the world. Buy American Gold Eagle coins as an investment in safety and growth.


Design After careful consideration, the United States mint decided to copy the design of the $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin for the obverse of its new Gold Eagle. The $20 Saint-Gaudens was commissioned by Theodore Roosevelt to create coins of awe like the ancient Greek and Roman coins. The date, situated to the viewer’s right of Miss Liberty, appears in Roman Numerals in the years from 1986-91 it has appeared in Arabic Numerals ever since.


The design on the reverse by Miley Busiek captures a bald eagle swooping into a nest holding its family. The scene is meant to symbolize many classic American concepts.


Gold Eagles are made only from gold mined in the United States. The coins are minted using 24-karat gold plus small amounts of alloy to ensure a minimum of scratching and marring; the result is a 22-karat overall composition.


Government Guarantee Gold Eagles maintain a unique advantage over most other gold bullion coins – the United States government guarantees their gold content, weight, and purity. For this reason, gold eagles can easily be bought and sold almost anywhere in the world, making these coins among the most commonly traded gold bullion coins on the market.
