Description
The Proof American Gold Eagle collection is a staple in many US households, as far as investment goals are concerned. Since it’s release in 1986, the Proof American Gold Eagle has been a hit among both investors and collectors. The Proof American Gold Eagle, along with its BU counterpart, is also the only coin series that offers fractionalized coins in the US i.e. 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz.
The Proof American Gold Eagle One Ounce is encased in an airtight capsule, protected by the original mint packaging. Considered to be the heaviest US gold coin, the Proof American Gold Eagle consists of one ounce of pure .999 gold and a copper/silver alloy, making the Proof American Gold Eagle weigh a little over an ounce. Due to this addition of metals, the Proof American Gold Eagle is 22 karats. Investors and collectors have since enjoyed the fruits of the Proof American Gold Eagle, especially since it rivals older coins in popularity!
