Graded by the esteemed PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), these American Gold Eagle coins are one of the finest specimens in the market. After being authenticated and graded by experts at PCGS, these coins have been sealed into plastic cases, ensuring their safety. American Gold Eagles have enjoyed immense popularity ever since they were released in 1986.

PCGS or the Professional Coin Grading Service was established in 1985 with the sole aim of providing accurate quality to precious metals buyers. This ensured that their grades would already tell the buyer what quality of coin they could expect. Hence, PCGS follows the Sheldon grading system – assigning grades from 1 to 70, with 70 signifying a perfect specimen of any coin.

This series was established under the Gold Bullion Act of 1985. Moreover, silver, platinum, and recently palladium variants were added to the American Eagles arsenal. Produced by the United States Mint, these Gold Eagles feature the quality that the precious metals market has come to expect from their products.

Instituted in 1792, the United States Mint was set up in a small building in Philadelphia. In fact, it was one of the first official establishments of the newly free United States government. Now, the Mint boasts an admirable minting capacity with four minting facilities – Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco, and West Point.

Each of these American Gold Eagles is struck using 0.9167 pure gold, weighing 1 troy ounce. Moreover, they bear a face value of $50 (USD), guaranteed by the United States government. In conjunction with the pure gold, the official backing of the United States government, and their eligibility for use in various precious metals IRAs, make these gold coins one of the best investments to diversify investment portfolios.

Additionally, depending on the grades assigned to each of these coins, their values can vary significantly – with the more perfect specimens enjoying higher demand and value.

Bearing the proud figure of Lady Liberty on their obverses, the American Gold Eagles’ design has been an iconic American design ever since it was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907 for the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle. The image shows Lady Liberty striding forward purposefully, holding aloft a torch and an olive branch – signifying the core ideals of Liberty and Peace that the United States stands behind.

The reverse of the gold coin bears a beautiful image of a family of Bald Eagles – the adult male returning to his nest while his mate and his chick await his arrival anxiously. Also imprinted are the phrases ‘E Pluribus Unum’ and ‘In God We Trust.’ In addition to this, the bottom of this side displays the weight of the gold in the coin as well as its face value ’50 Dollars.’

American Gold Eagles have been a trusted investment vehicle for over two decades and historically, the graded variety of these coins have done extremely well due to their popularity amongst those who prefer perfect, certified specimens.
