The Gold American Eagle is without a doubt one of the most beautiful gold coins to be struck by the United States. This combined with its many other characteristics have made it sought after by enthusiasts and investors around the world.
Coin Design Highlights
This particular coin is a first year issue. Unlike many of the original gold eagles, which were comprised of a single ounce of gold, this coin is 1/10 ounce. This is important since fractional coins offer an affordable way for people to own cold. The gold eagle can also be added to Individual Retirement Accounts which adds to its appeal. It contains .9167 ounces gold which means that while its purity may not be as high as foreign gold coins it has superior durability due to the presence of other metals. The coin’s obverse side features a classical image of Lady Liberty, while the reverse side features the bald eagle which was produced by artist Miley Busiek.
