Introduction of Coins
First struck in 1986, the Gold Eagle coin program is one of the world's most popular gold coin programs. The coins are available in 1/10oz, 1/4oz, 1/2oz, and 1oz sizes, with face values of $5, $10, $25, and $50, respectively. Demand for gold eagles dropped precipitously after the first year. In fact, mintage of the $10 eagle dropped by almost 63% year-over-year.Read More
