The U.S. government guarantees American Gold Eagles contain the stated amount of actual gold weight in troy ounces in each gold coin. The U.S.A.’s Secret Service enforces the government’s American Gold Eagle coin guarantee.

Gold Eagles are offered in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold coin sizes.

The Gold American Eagle coin is considered by many gold bullion industry experts as the best gold coin selection throughout the world’s physical gold bullion market.

American Gold Eagle Coin Prices

American Gold Eagle coin prices are based on their weight and the world’s fluctuating spot gold price.

When physical gold supplies cannot properly meet demand, the premium or price per American Gold Eagle coin above the fluctuating gold spot price can increase sharply (e.g. 2008 Financial Crisis gold coin shortage).

These official American 22k golden coins also have low legal tender face values which assures they will not circulate and compete with Federal Reserve Notes (most commonly referred to as US dollars).

Higher Buy Back Gold Coin Prices

American Gold Eagle coins are the most popular government minted gold coins in terms of overall sales volumes. These 22k gold coins also demand some of the gold bullion industry’s highest gold coin prices (the rate at which gold dealers are buying these gold coins back at).

In general gold coin dealers pay a price above the fluctuating gold spot price when buying gold coins, like American Gold Eagle coins back from investors. This is often not the case with other less popular gold coins.

Higher Selling Gold Coin Prices

The American Gold Eagle coin typically demands the highest gold coin price amongst other modern highly minted, competing brilliant uncirculated government gold coins like the Canadian Maple Leaf coin or the South African Gold Krugerrand coin.

In summation, Gold American Eagle Coin prices per ounce will usually be both higher when (#1) buying and (#2) selling them compared to other competing high mintage government gold bullion coins.

American Gold Eagle Coin Design

The American Gold Eagle coin front side, also called the coin’s obverse, features a throwback to the classic $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin design.

On this modern 22k gold coin we find Lady Liberty who holds a torch and an olive branch with the U.S. Capitol Hill in the bottom left background. The gold coin’s year of strike and the word ‘LIBERTY’ is also engraved on the front of this popular gold coin.

The Gold Eagle coin backside or reverse design is by Miley Busiek. Struck on the back of all Gold Eagle coins is a large male eagle clutching an olive branch flying over a nest containing a female and baby eagle. The fine gold weight of the coin, its legal tender face value, ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ and ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ are all stamped on the backside of the American Gold Eagle coin.
