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. 1992 saw a major change on gold eagles, with the dates changing from Roman to Arabic numerals. This didn't help sales however, with only 44,826 coins sold, the lowest mintage to this point. Quality was decent but not great this year with 31% earning the grade of PF70UC. (6/2016)Read More
