Design Characteristics of Gold Coin

Obverse Side

The obverse side of the American Gold Eagle coin design is the Augustus Saint-Gaudens' Lady Liberty portrait. Lady Liberty is holding a torch in one hand and an olive branch in her other hand, which represents freedom and peace. In the background, you can see the Capitol building with the sun rising, representing hope and new beginnings. The inscriptions on this side are "LIBERTY," the mint year, and the mint mark.

Reverse Side

The reverse side of the coin has also evolved over the years. The Type 1, which was designed by Miley Busiek in 1986, includes a male eagle flying an olive branch to his nest. In 2021, the U.S. Mint released the Type 2 reverse design by Jennie Norris of a close-up image of an eagle and an eagle family in their nest with the female eagle shielding the hatchling.

Are American Gold Eagle Coins a Good Investment?

Are Gold Eagles Pure 24k Gold?

No, American Gold Eagles are made from a 22-karat (.9167) gold alloy.

The alloy itself contains 91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper. Each coin, however, is assured to have its claimed weight of pure gold (e.g., a 1 oz Gold Eagle has exactly one full troy ounce of pure gold).

Why is the Gold Eagle's Gross Weight more than its Gold Content?

The gross (total) weight of a Gold Eagle is greater than its bullion weight of gold content merely due to the 22k alloy. The 1 oz Gold Eagle, for instance, weighs 1.0909 troy ounces gross. That additional weight comprises minute amounts of silver and copper blended into the one troy ounce of pure gold in an effort to make the coin more durable.

Are all American Gold Eagles IRA-Eligible?
