Introduction of Coins
First struck in 1986, Gold Eagles are one of the world's most popular ways to buy gold. The coins are available in 1/10oz, 1/4oz, 1/2oz, and 1oz sizes, with face values of $5, $10, $25, and $50, respectively. In 2005, the $25 proof gold eagle saw its largest mintage increase since 1990. Nearly 7,000 more coins were struck this year than the previous, some 34,311 coins total.Read More
