Commemorative coins exist in two different eras from the United States Mint. Pre-modern commemoratives are those that were issued between the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries, specifically between 1848 and 1954. Modern commemorative gold for sale from the US Mint restarted in 1982 and has continued since that time as the demand for precious metals continues to grow.

The US Mint issued its first commemorative coin in 1848, a Gold Quarter Eagle coin with a “CAL” design mark to celebrate the discovery of gold in California. From 1848 to 1954, various design concepts were produced by the US Mint in both silver and gold commemorative options. Amid sagging interest though, commemorative coins were halted in 1954 and did not resume until 1982.
