Benefits
One of the key benefits of the American Eagle gold coin is it’s sheer beauty. The composition of the coin provides both durability and a bright and shinny finish. The detailed design features an image of “Lady Liberty” on the front of the coin with flowing hair holding a torch and olive branch.
This famous image is well recognized around the world. The American Eagle gold coin is the most popular gold coin in the United Sates, but is also bought and sold globally. The 1/10 oz American Eagle is an excellent choice for investors who are looking for smaller weight gold coins.
History
While the American Eagle was introduced in 1986, it’s history dates back much further. The Augustus Saint-Gaudens iconic Lady Liberty design was taken from the “double eagle” gold piece where it first appeared in 1907.
The US Mint manufactures the American Eagle and was founded in 1792 with the passage of the The Coinage Act by Congress. The act authorized construction of a Mint building in the nation's capitol, Philadelphia. American Eagle coins are minted at the US Mint’s facility in West Point, NY.
