These coins were first introduced in 1986, with the bullion program featuring four mintage weights: 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz. The program’s 1/10 oz weight is more popular among numismatics than the ½ oz and ¼ oz weights, and even surpassed the 1 oz. coin in terms of total mintage in 2015.

On the obverse side of the American Gold Eagle is Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ image of Lady Liberty. Designed in 1907 for use on the $20 Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle, this depiction features Lady Liberty walking forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The reverse side of each coin bears Miley Busiek’s image of a family of nesting bald eagles. On this side, a male eagle returns to the nest with an olive branch in its talons.
The United States Mint is one of the finest, most advanced facilities in the world. Originally founded in 1792, the mint currently operates four primary minting facilities. The West Point Mint in New York handles the bulk of production for American Gold Eagles.
