1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Coin: A Timeless Investment

The American Gold Eagle Coin is the official gold bullion coin of the United States Mint, first minted in 1986. Widely regarded as one of the most popular gold bullion coins globally, it is highly sought after by investors and collectors alike for its exceptional design and craftsmanship.

Unique Features of the 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Coin

The 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Coin is historically significant, with roots tracing back nearly 200 years. Earlier U.S. gold coins contained less gold, but the modern American Gold Eagle coin is alloyed with copper and silver for enhanced strength and durability. This sturdy design ensures that the coin can be carried without the material loss commonly associated with softer 24-karat coins.

Iconic Design Elements

• Obverse: The obverse features the classic $20 Saint-Gaudens design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, originally minted from 1907 to 1933. Lady Liberty, with flowing hair, stands watch over the U.S. Capitol building, symbolizing American strength and freedom. The word “Liberty” is inscribed above, along with the year of minting.
• Reverse: The reverse showcases the iconic “Family of Eagles” design by sculptor Miley Busiek. This design illustrates a female eagle protecting her hatchlings in the nest, while the male eagle soars above, clutching an olive branch in its talons. This beautiful image represents American freedom and strength. The reverse also includes engravings of “United States of America,” the coin’s gold content, face value, “E Pluribus Unum,” and “In God We Trust.”
