American Eagle Gold Coins - A Wise Investment

Gold Eagle coins are gold coins produced by the government of United States from 1795 to 1933. Till that time the US government used to back its currency with gold. This was called the gold standard. The eagle was a unit of denomination meant solely for gold coins. Quarter, half and double eagles were also produced. The eagle was the highest among the four units of denomination, the others being the dollar, dime and the cent. The cent was the lowest unit. A dime was equal to 10 cents, a dollar was 10 dimes and an eagle was 10 dollars. In 1984 the United States mint restarted producing gold eagles and distributed them as commemoratives. The Gold Bullion Act was passed in 1985 during the tenure of President Ronald Regan. The act enabled the US mint to mint gold bullion coins of face value 5, 10, 25 and 50 US dollars from newly mined domestic gold.

From 1907 till 1933, the double eagle bore the image of Liberty carrying a torch and holding an olive branch in either hand, on the obverse. The image was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. This design is often considered as one of the most beautiful coin designs in the United States. This same design is used on the on the obverse of the modern gold eagles. The reverse features a nest of American Eagles. This is a symbol of family tradition and unity.

The United States government provides the Gold Eagle coins with a guarantee of their weight, content and purity. As a result investors and collectors can buy them with confidence. The US government is the only government that provides its gold coins with such a guarantee. This move has helped the circulation and sale of the Gold Eagles.

The modern US Gold Eagles are made of 22 carat gold (91.67% pure) which is much more scratch and marring resistant than the pure (99.9% or purer) forms of gold bullions. As a result the resale value of the coin is not diminished. 22 carats gold coins have 11 parts gold and 1 part alloy. Each 1-ounce gold Eagle contains 31.1 grams of pure gold, with an additional alloy of silver and copper. The total weight of the coin is about 33.9 grams. The 22 carat standard is the traditional English crown gold standard found in the British sovereigns. The standard was established for gold coinage over 350 years ago.  

The weight of quarter eagles was .2727 troy ounces, that of half eagles is .5455 troy ounces and of eagles is 1.0909 troy ounces. The eagle has a diameter and thickness of 32.7 mm, and 2.87 mm respectively. The half-ounce gold Eagle has a diameter of 27mm and thickness of 2.15mm. The quarter-ounce gold Eagle has a diameter of 22mm, and a thickness of 1.78 mm. The tenth-ounce gold Eagle has a diameter of 16.5 mm and a thickness of 1.26mm. The Eagle, the half Eagle the quarter Eagle and the 10th ounce Eagle have face values of $50, $25, $10 and $5.

Dime (United States Coin) $63.73 The dime is a coin worth ten cents or one tenth of a United States dollar. The dime is the smallest in diameter and the thinnest of all U.S. coins currently minted for circulation. The 32nd President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, is featured on the obverse of the current design, while a torch, oak branch, and olive branch covering the motto E pluribus unum are featured on the reverse. The dimes value is labeled as one dime, since the term dime also applies to a unit of currency worth 10 cents or 1/10 of a dollar. The dime was commissioned by the Coinage Act of 1792, and production began in 1796. A feminine head representing Liberty was used on the front of the coin, and an eagle was used on the back. The front and back of the dime used these motifs for three different designs through 1837. The composition and diameter of the dime have changed throughout its mintage. Initially the dime was 0.75 inch (19 millimeters) wide, but it was changed to its present size of 0.705 inch (17.91 millimeters) in 1828. The composition (initially 89.24 percent silver and 10.76 percent copper) remained constant until 1837, when it was altered to 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper.

Canadian 1 Dollar Coin $92.4 The Canadian 1 dollar coin is a goldcoloured, bronzeplated, onedollar coin introduced in 1987. It bears images of a common loon, a wellknown Canadian bird, on the reverse, and of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. The design for the coin was meant to be a voyageur theme, similar to the countrys previous one dollar/silver dollar coin, but the master dies were lost by the courier service while in transit to the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg. In order to avoid possible counterfeiting, a different design was used. The coin has become the symbol of its currency. Newspapers often discuss the rate at which the loonie is trading against the United States greenback. The nickname loonie became so widely recognized that on March 15, 2006 the Royal Canadian Mint secured the rights to the name Loonie.

Half Crown (British Coin) $114.71 The half crown was a denomination of British money worth two shillings and sixpence, being oneeighth of a pound and half of a crown. The half crown was first issued in 1549, in the reign of Edward VI. No half crowns were issued in the reign of Mary, but from the reign of Elizabeth I half crowns were issued in every reign except Edward VIII, until the coins were discontinued in 1967. The half crown was demonetised (ahead of other predecimal coins) on 1 January 1970, the year before the United Kingdom adopted decimal currency on Decimal Day. During the English Interregnum of 16491660, a republican half crown was issued, bearing the arms of the Commonwealth of England, despite monarchist associations of the coins name. When Oliver Cromwell made himself Lord Protector of England, half crowns were issued bearing his semiroyal portrait. The half crown did not display its value on the reverse until 1893. In the 1800s, the silver half crown coin was (very roughly) convertible into an American fiftycent piece, and was sometimes nicknamed the half dollar in North America.
