Authorized by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986, American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins are minted according to the durable, 22-karat standard established for circulating gold coinage 350 years ago.  Each coin contains its full, stated weight of pure gold, which by law, must be taken from newly mined sources in America.  The balance consists of silver and copper, added to increase the coin’s durability to help resist scratching and marring, which can adversely affect a bullion coins’ resale value.  Gold Eagles are rich in history, too.  The obverse is based on world-renowned American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ design prized 1907 $20 gold coin. The reverse pictures a family of eagles, symbolizing family tradition and unity.

      Many companies use Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum as benchmarks for excellence in performance by using these metals to describe the achievement. Yet they neither sell, own or tell others to collect these precious metals.  We suggest you own it rather than be called one.


“We have gold because we cannot trust Governments.”
President Herbert Hoover
 

The symbol of kings and the treasure of nations, desired by all but possessed by few, gold has been cherished for all of recorded history. In the 5th century B.C., Aristotle pondered the question of the perfect medium for money. He concluded that gold is perfect money for 5 reasons:
Durability
Gold won’t rot, break, crumble, decay, corrode or tarnish. Gold is unaffected by air, water, and even most acids.
Convenience and portability
A lifetime of wealth will fit in your pocket.
Divisibility
Gold can easily be divided into smaller amounts. An ounce of gold can be split 100 or even 1000 times. Consistency
One ounce of pure gold is exactly the same as any other ounce, enabling worldwide trade and liquidity of gold – unlike unique items of jewelry or artwork.
Demand
Gold has a staggering variety of uses, even more today than in Aristotle’s time. Its unique properties keep the demand high and the relative scarcity of the metal insures continued value.

Gold is still perfect money, perhaps more perfect money than money. Gold remains the time-honored standard of wealth that no other currency can match.
