At Precious Elements Jewelry & Coin, we make the process safe and easy, whether you're in Phoenix AZ, or selling American Gold Eagle coins online.
American Gold Eagles are more than just bullion, they’re iconic pieces of American history and a valuable asset in any portfolio.
First released by the U.S. Mint in 1986, the American Gold Eagle was created as part of the Gold Bullion Coin Act to reintroduce gold to the public. Using only gold mined in the United States, these coins feature Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Lady Liberty design on one side and a soaring eagle family on the other (which was updated in 2021 to a single eagle close-up). The American Eagle is not just currency, it’s a symbol of American heritage and monetary strength.
Each American Gold Eagle coin is crafted from 22-karat gold, which is 91.67% purity, with small amounts of silver and copper for durability. They are available in four weights: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. The 1 oz coin contains exactly one troy ounce of pure gold, even though it weighs slightly more than that.
Thanks to its government backing, global recognition, and aesthetic appeal, the American Eagle remains one of the most popular gold bullion coins worldwide. It's accepted by a wide range of precious metal dealers, investors, and experienced collectors, making it a highly liquid and valuable asset to own, or to sell when the time is right.
