American Eagle 1 oz Gold Coins are the most popular modern gold coins minted today. Gold Eagle Coins were authorized by the US Congress via the Bullion Coin Act of 1985, and first minted by the United States Mint in 1986. American Gold Eagle Coins quickly became an American classic. Like the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin, the American Gold Eagle Coin is a top gold choice for gold bullion investors and gold coin collectors around the world.
The 1 oz Gold American Eagle Coin is minted in 22 karat gold (.9167 fine), making the Gold American Eagle Coin more durable and resistant to scratching and marring of its gold coin surface. The design of obverse side of the 1 oz Gold Eagle Coin is inspired by one of the United States of America's most beautiful old circulating gold coins, the Saint-Gaudens' $20 double eagle gold coin (minted in the USA from 1907 until the 1933 gold nationalization). On the reverse surface of this modern minted American Eagle Gold Bullion Coin, a male eagle carries an olive branch above a nesting female eagle and her hatchlings.
The Gold American Eagle Coin's weight, gold bullion content and 22k gold purity are guaranteed by the government of the United States. Both gold investors and gold coin collectors alike choose to buy the American Gold Eagle Coins for their stirringly beautiful and historic American imagery. As well, this 1 oz Gold Eagle Coin bears guaranteed inscriptions of troy ounce gold weight, legal tender face value, and the year of mintage.
