Buy American Eagle Gold

The American Eagle Gold Bullion Coin is the best-selling gold bullion coin in the world. As the United States Mint prominently mentions in all of its marketing literature, each and every American Eagle is guaranteed by the U.S. government for weight, content and purity. When it comes to buying gold coins, the American Eagle tops them all.

This unique selling point is no doubt key to the American Eagle’s popularity with investors, especially within the United States, but the American Eagle also boasts other important and attractive features and benefits.

For instance, the Gold American Eagle is available in a wide range of sizes to fit almost any budget, from 1/10 of an ounce up to 1 ounce, with ¼ and ½ sizes in between.

The 1/10 ounce Gold American Eagle is 16.5 millimeters in diameter, whereas the 1 ounce version is 32.7 millimeters in diameter. Below, we have listed the diameters of the other sizes:

¼ ounce Gold American Eagle: 22 millimeters
½ ounce Gold American Eagle: 27 millimeters

Introduced in 1986, the Gold American Eagle features a classically beautiful design on the obverse (front), taken from sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens‘ famed Double Eagle design of 1907. This design shows Lady Liberty striding toward the viewer, with the rays of the rising sun beaming around and from behind her.

The reverse of the Gold American Eagle was a new design, showing a nest of eaglets, with a mother eagle alighting down to join them.

The Gold American Eagle was the first gold bullion item of any type to be eligible for tax-advantaged Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). In fact, from 1986 to 1998, the Gold American Eagle was the only option for investors who wanted gold for their IRAs. Because of this, even today, the Gold American Eagle is the choice for those who wish to add the safety, security, diversification and profit potential of gold to their retirement savings.

Not only is the Gold American Eagle the best-selling gold bullion coin in the world, but within the United States of America, the Gold American Eagle outsells all other gold bullion coins—the South African Krugerrand, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, the Austrian Philharmonic, the Chinese Panda and the Australian Gold Nugget–combined.

This popularity has created a “self-licking ice cream cone,” as huge sales of Gold American Eagles have made it extremely recognizable. This has resulted in a two-way market for Gold American Eagles which is more robust than any other gold bullion investment. In addition to thousands of coin dealers and precious metals firms, many banks and investment brokerage houses also buy and sell tens of thousands of Gold American Eagles each and every trading day. Because outlets which do not even have expertise in the precious metals markets buy and sell Gold American Eagles, its wide acceptance makes it the best choice for many gold bullion buyers.
