Upgrade your precious metals portfolio with classic 1 oz American Gold Eagle bullion coins!

The 1 oz American Gold Eagle coin was first released by the United States Mint in 1986 and quickly became one of the world’s most popular and recognizable gold bullion coins. Over 23 million 1 oz American Gold Eagle coins have been minted over the past four decades.

American Gold Eagle bullion coins are made from a 22-karat gold alloy known as “crown gold,” which consists of 91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper. The United States Mint chose 22-karat gold over 99.99% pure 24-karat gold thanks to its superior durability and wear resistance — qualities that are desirable in such a valuable coin.

The obverse of the coin depicts Lady Liberty proudly holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left hand, while the coin’s reverse depicted an eagle soaring above a nest from 1986 to 2021 and a side profile of a bald eagle since 2021.

The 1 oz American Gold Eagle bullion coin is legal tender in the United States and has a face value of US$50. American Gold Eagle coins are eligible for holding in IRA retirement accounts according to IRS code.
