Introducing the official gold coin of the United States, the American Gold Eagle coins, a timeless representation of American majesty and strength. These exquisite coins, available annually, come in three distinct versions and four different weights. They artfully capture the essence of the nation, featuring iconic symbols such as the bald eagle and Lady Liberty, symbolizing freedom and democracy.
Crafted by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, the Lady Liberty design depicts her confidently striding forward, embodying the ideals of light and peace with a torch and olive branch in hand. The reverse side, designed by Miley Busiek, showcases a family of nesting bald eagles, symbolizing vigilance and protection.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary, a new design by artist Jennie Norris graces the reverse field, featuring a left-profile relief of the American bald eagle with intricate feather details. The eagle’s piercing gaze captivates the viewer, marking a historic shift in the collection’s design.
Within the American Gold Eagle lineup, the bullion coin stands as the cornerstone, maintaining stability since its inception in 1986. The bullion coins, available in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold, follow a predictable mintage pattern based on market fluctuations and demand.
For numismatists and collectors, the Proof American Gold Eagles hold a special place in personal collections. The inherent value of these coins differs significantly from bullion, yet all American Gold Eagle coins bear a face value reflective of their gold content.
In 2006, the United States Mint expanded the collection with the Burnished American Gold Eagle, appealing to collectors who display their treasures. Struck using a unique coining process, these uncirculated coins undergo a meticulous production, from loading planchets into a spinning drum to hand loading each blank into the coining press. The result is a smooth, matte-like finish, distinguishing the Burnished Gold Eagle in both process and appearance.
Whether you’re shopping for the BU, Proof, or Burnished American Gold Eagle, you’ll find Certified Gold Eagles available. These coins are popular with those who covet the inherent value of the gold in the coins, as well as the visual appearance of each specimen. Certified coins are graded for the quality of the design strike and the overall condition of the coin blank itself.
