The American Gold Eagle is an official gold bullion coin of the United States. Authorized under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, it was first released by the United States Mint in 1986. Offered in 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 oz denominations, these coins are guaranteed to contain the stated amount of actual gold weight in troy ounces. By law, the gold must come from sources in America, with an additional alloy of silver and copper to produce a more wear-resistant coin of .9167 (22 karat, which had long been the crown gold English standard for gold coins). It is authorized by the United States Congress and is backed by the United States Mint for weight and content. The United States Mint also produces a proof version for coin collectors. These coins are for the most part produced at the West Point mint in West Point, New York and carry the West Point mint mark ("W") beneath the date. We sell and buy all denominations of the gold eagle please call us for availability and current pricing based on spot price.

It is authorized by the United States Congress and its weight and content is certified by the United States Mint. The Mint also produces a proof version for coin collectors. The Silver Eagle has been produced at three mints. One is the Philadelphia mint, and some of those issued there carry a "P" mintmark. In the early years of the series, the San Francisco mint issued proofs and these bear an "S". More recent proofs are from the mint at West Point, New York. We sell the American Silver Eagle and offer it in three different volumes. It can be purchased as a single coin, as a roll of 20 that typically will be in a government issued roll and thirdly it can be bought by the case which is also called a "monster box". A monster box has (500) one ounce coins and we sell them as they are issued in their original green box with 25 rolls of 20 coins each.
