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. The mintage of $10 proof gold eagles once again fell harshly in 2012 to some 13,775 coins. This is the second lowest mintage of any $10 proof gold eagles. Quality was once again good this year, with nearly three-quarters earning the grade of PF70UC. (6/2016)Read More
