Gold Eagle Coins have become one of the world's leading investment coins after being authorized by the Bullion Coin Act of 1985. Made from the same U.S. gold found in Eagle National Mint's Gold Bars, Gold Eagle Coins, also known as American Gold Eagle coins are imprinted with their gold content and legal tender "face" value.

All gold, including Gold bars, and the American Gold Eagle, have value based on the market price of bullion, plus a small premium to cover coinage and distribution. Gold Eagle coins use the durable 22-karat standard established for gold circulating coinage over 350 years ago.

Gold Eagle coins — Minted to exacting standards

The obverse (front) design of the Gold Eagle is inspired by what's often considered one of America's most beautiful coins: Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated $20 gold piece, minted from 1907-1933.  The reverse design, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings.
