The American Eagle is the United States’ official bullion gold coin, struck by the United States Mint since 1986. It is the most common gold coin on the American market and well known in Europe too.
Unlike most modern bullion coins, the Eagle is 22 carat: 916.7 fine, with silver and copper added to the gold. That does not mean less gold. A 1 oz Eagle contains a full 31.1035 grams of pure gold — the coin is simply a little heavier and considerably harder. It scratches far less than a pure-gold coin does.
The obverse carries Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty, taken from the 1907 twenty-dollar piece. The reverse showed a family of eagles until 2021, and a portrait of an eagle’s head from then on.
Weights and premium
We stock 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 oz. Rule of thumb: larger weight, lower premium per gram. Smaller coins cost more per gram but buy you the flexibility to sell only part of a holding.
Coins come in mint packaging, in capsule or protective sleeve. Condition is Bank Standard, uncirculated. Buying: the price is fixed the moment you order, against the live world market, and you then collect in Tallinn or we send it by insured courier.
