All Gold Eagles

All Gold Eagles

Listed above is our full selection of American Gold Eagle coins which are offered from various years and in varying degrees of condition. The American Gold Eagle is one of the most popular gold bullion coins offered to private investors and is also one of only two currently being produced by the US Mint. The Gold Eagle is offered in sizes of tenth, quarter, half and one ounce with legal tender values of $5, $10, $25 and $50, respectively.

Coin Design

The coin was introduced in 1986 after the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 authorized its production. Since it was introduced, it has experienced global popularity and is the best selling gold bullion coin in the world. Each coin is minted with 22k gold (.9167 purity) and carries a face value in the United States.

Obverse

The obverse side of the Gold Eagle draws its inspiration from Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ design for the $20 Gold Double Eagle. Beside Saint-Gaudens’ design of Lady Liberty is the year of issue for the coin. Above her is the word “Liberty.”

Reverse

The reverse of the Gold Eagle is where the coin gets its name. This side depicts an American Eagle in mid-flight on his way back to his nest. The eagle holds an olive branch in his talons. Above the eagle are stamps for the country “United States Of America.” The phrases “E Pluribus Unum” and “In God We Trust” are located to the left and right side of the eagle respectively. Underneath the eagle’s nest reads “1 OZ Fine Gold~50 Dollars.”

Certified Gold Eagles vs Uncirculated Gold Eagles

American Gold Eagles are offered in both certified and uncirculated condition. A certified coin is merely one that has been graded by a professional coin grading service such as the NGC or PCGS. Coins are graded on a scale ranging from 1-70, with 70 being a perfect “Mint State” condition. The grade of a coin is gauged on several factors including its overall condition, mint of origin, release date and other factors. Uncirculated Gold Eagles are those that have not been certified and have also never seen circulation.

Availability and Shipping

Because the American Gold Eagle is produced on a fairly large scale every year, they are usually readily available. If seeking out a past year’s issue, it may be harder to find depending on its collectability and the number of coins minted that year. JM Bullion offers a wide selection of both certified and uncirculated Gold Eagles for sale to investors. As always, all orders are shipped discreetly and completely free.
