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. After increasing by nearly 50% from 2008 to 2010, the mintage of the 2011 proof $25 gold eagle was nearly 40% lower than the prior year at some 26,781 coins. Quality was still great however, with about 81% grading PF70UC. (6/2/106)Read More
