American Gold Eagle coins are the official gold bullion coins of the United States. The coins are struck using only gold sourced from within the US, and each one is backed by the credibility of the federal government. With the exception of a few years in the program, the 1 oz American Gold Eagle has the highest mintage among the four weights in the series.

The 2015 1 oz American Gold Eagle coins available for purchase today bear Mint State 70 grades from the PCGS. The highest grade any coin can receive, MS70 indicates a perfectly struck coin with no blemishes or signs of wear. First Strike coins are those which were received by PCGS within the first 30 days of the coin’s release.

American Gold Eagles get their name from the image featured on the reverse side. Miley Busiek’s depiction of a family of bald eagles in its nest displays a male eagle returning to the nest, bringing an olive branch to the female and hatchlings. On the obverse side is the image of Lady Liberty walking over Washington DC. Designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907, the image was originally created to help revive American gold coins in the early 20th century.

The United States Mint is one of the oldest facilities in the Western Hemisphere, and operates a total of four mints. The West Point Mint in New York is responsible for producing the bulk of the American Gold Eagle coins, though other mints have assisted in the production of special-edition coins.
