These coins are known for their high gold purity, recognizable design, and legal tender status.


Key Features of the USA Gold American Eagle Coins:

  • Purity: The Gold American Eagle coins are made of 22-karat gold (91.67% gold), which is slightly less than pure gold but more durable.
  • Face Value: The coins are issued with a face value in U.S. dollars but are sold at market value based on their gold content.
  • Weight: The coins are produced in a variety of sizes, with the most popular being the 1 oz coin. The other sizes are proportional to the gold content.
  • Design:
    • Obverse: The obverse design features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic depiction of Lady Liberty, which was originally used on the 1907 $20 Gold Double Eagle.
    • Reverse: The reverse design depicts a family of eagles by Maya Engelland, with a male eagle carrying an olive branch above a nest with a female eagle and her young.
