American Gold Eagle

When you are looking to buy gold for your portfolio, the American Gold Eagle bullion coin is a popular choice.  These golden eagle coins are made from 100% U.S.-produced gold due to a requirement in the 1985 Gold Bullion Act signed by Ronald Reagan.

This beautiful Gold Eagle coin was first released in 1986.  These coins can be purchased in several denominations:  $5, $10, $25 and $50.  None have been in circulation as actual currency.

The American Gold Eagle coins feature different designs. Still, all include images of the country’s most iconic symbols: Lady Liberty on one side and the bald eagle on the other.

On the American Gold Eagle coin’s 35th anniversary in 2021, the U.S. Mint redesigned the coin’s reverse side. While the original featured an eagle protecting its nest, the new version replaced it with the profile of a bald eagle.

Coins minted between 1986 and 1991 use Roman numerals for the date.  Beginning in 1992, the coins were stamped with Arabic numerals (as is all U.S. currency).

These iconic American Gold Eagle coins hold a special place in the hearts of collectors and investors alike. Their enduring popularity is not only due to the beauty and quality of U.S.- produced Gold Eagle coins but also because they represent a tangible piece of American history and patriotism.
