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. For the third year in the row, the mintage of proof $50 gold eagles dropped, in this case to 54,570 coins. Quality once again improved this year to around 43% PF70UC. (6/2016)Read More
