½ oz American Gold Eagle Coin (Random Year)

The American Gold Eagle is the premier gold bullion coin for serious investors and precious metals hobbyists alike. American Gold Eagles garner worldwide recognition and are the market leader in gold bullion investments. As an investment-grade gold bullion coin, the American Gold Eagle is a top choice.

Congress passed the Bullion Act of 1985, which spawned the next era of US bullion production. In 1986, the US Mint commenced striking American Gold Eagles from 22-karat gold that is sourced directly from US mines, a strict legal requirement. The 22-karat gold content creates a more durable coin surface when compared with the pure gold variety. This “Crown Gold” alloy exhibits a rich, golden tone and brilliant luster. The American Gold Eagle contains precisely 1/2 troy ounces of pure gold, but with an alloy blend of 91.67% gold, 5.33% copper, and 3.0% silver, the total coin weight reaches 0.5455 troy ounces (16.96 grams).

The American Gold Eagle’s obverse features an Augustus Saint-Gaudens design borrowed from the $20 Double Eagle Gold coin, minted from 1907 to 1933. This depiction of Lady Liberty in stride has become one of the most iconic coin designs in US history. The reverse side will either be the original golden eagle family design or the close-cropped eagle eye redesign.

The face value of each American Gold Eagle is backed by the federal government and is offered in 1 oz ($50), ½ oz ($25), ¼ oz ($10), and 1/10 oz ($5) denominations. In addition, the weight, content, and purity of each American Gold Eagle are federally guaranteed.
