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. In 2001, the price of gold remained relatively stagnant, slowing sales for gold eagles. This can be seen in the mintage of the $10 proof eagle at only 25,613 pieces which is the lowest mintage until this point.Read More
