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 a tiny drop in mintage in 2004, the 2005 $50 proof gold eagle saw a near 25% increase in mintage to 35,246 coins. Quality was very good once again at 59% PF70UC. (6/2016)Read More
