America Eagle 1 oz

The 1 oz American Gold Eagle is one of the most popular bullion coins in the world. Issued by the United States Mint since 1986, this coin contains 1 troy ounce (31.1 grams) of pure gold with a minimum fineness of 22 karat (91.67%). The coin has a face value of $50, but its actual market value is determined by the price of gold. The design depicts Lady Liberty on the front, based on the classic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, with a torch and an olive branch. The reverse (until 2021) shows an eagle with a nest, designed by Miley Busiek; starting in 2021, there will be a new eagle portrait by Jennie Norris. With its official status, high purity, and recognizability, the American Gold Eagle is a sought-after choice among investors and collectors around the world.
