The US mint introduced the Gold American Eagle in 1986. This 22-karat gold coin was issued in 4 denominations. Goldline is pleased to present the second largest of these coins to you today: the 1/2-oz. Gold American Eagle. This coin takes its design from America’s most beautiful coin: the $20 Saint-Gaudens gold piece. This is the same coin that Theodore Roosevelt ordered to be designed so that our coins may rival in beauty those of Ancient Greece and Rome. Gold Eagles maintain a unique advantage over most other gold bullion coins - their gold content, weight, and purity are guaranteed by the U.S. government. That is why they are one of the most commonly traded gold bullion coins on the market - and why they can easily be bought and sold throughout the world. Each 1/2-oz. Gold Eagle contains a full half of an ounce of pure gold, making it much more valuable than its $25 face value. Order your 1/2-oz. Gold American Eagle today. 1/2-oz.
