Gold Eagle
The American Gold Eagle was first issued in 1986 as the official gold bullion coin of the United States of America. The coins were authorized by Congress, under the American Eagle Bullion Program, as a method for investors to conveniently and cost effectively purchase precious metals. The weight, content, and purity of of Gold Eagles are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
The obverse design for the series is based on the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, introduced into circulation in 1907. The iconic Liberty figure is portrayed striding forward with a torch in her right hand and olive branch in her left. The reverse of the coin was designed by Miley Busiek and features a male eagle bringing an olive branch to a nest of eagle hatchlings and female eagle.
Bullion and Collectible Gold Eagles
Since the launch of the series, different versions of Gold Eagle coins have been offered for investors and collectors. The bullion coins carry a standard finish and are considered to be precious metals investment coins. These are not sold directly to the public, but are distributed through a network of authorized purchasers. This network provides efficient distribution as well as a two way market for the bullion coins.
Proof Gold Eagles have been offered for collectors since 1986. These coins are manufactured through a specialized minting process, which includes multiple strikes with specially prepared dies to create a high quality finish. Proof coins generally display a cameo finish, where raised elements of the design are frosted and the background fields are mirrored. In 2006 the US Mint issued a special reverse proof Gold Eagle, which features the opposite effect.
