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 2000, the price of gold was still rather low, leading to more sales for gold eagles. Sales this year topped 36,000 pieces. The mint continued to strike quality coins, with 43% earning the grade of PF70UC. (6/2016)Read More
