American Eagle Proof Coins are
beautiful collectibles in precious metals that feature frosted images on a
mirror-like background. Authorized by the Bullion
Coin Act of 1985, American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins quickly became one of the
world's leading gold bullion investment coins. Produced from gold mined in the
United States, American Eagles are imprinted with their gold content and legal
tender "face" value. An American Eagle's value is based on the market price of
its metal content, plus a small premium to cover coinage and distribution.
American Eagles use the durable 22 karat standard established for gold
circulating coinage over 350 years ago. They contain their stated amount of
pure gold, plus small amounts of alloy. This creates harder coins that resist
scratching and marring, which can diminish resale value. Minted to exacting
standards, the obverse (front) design is inspired by what's often considered one
of America's most beautiful coins: Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated $20 gold
piece, minted from 1907-1933. The reverse is a nest of American Eagles,
symbolizing family tradition and unity.
Government Guarantee
What truly sets American Eagles apart is that they are the only bullion coins
whose weight, content and purity are guaranteed by the United States
Government. Investors can buy them with confidence, knowing the coins contain
their stated amount of gold. In addition, long-term savers can include American
Eagles in their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).
