Buying Gold Coins

Liberty was selected as the design to grace the American Eagle gold coin in late 1060s. The design initially appeared in 1905 on the double edge gold piece where it remained till 1930s. Like other gold coins, the American eagle gold coins have always been the favourite of everyone since decades. Investors and collectors both like to buy gold coins and collect them for future securities. Many billionaires consider buying from the wholesale gold coins as a matter of their pride.

The American Eagle Gold Coins allow investors world over a convenient and highly cost-effective way to accumulate a physical silver, gold or platinum to their investment portfolios and diversify their investments.

Collectors like to go for the proof versions of the American Eagle Bullion coins. These gold coins are made through a specialized minting process that begins by manually putting burnished coin blanks into the presses fitted with special dies made for it. Once in it, the coin is struck several times and the softly frosted but detailed images appear to float above mirror-like field.

These are then scrutinized by white gloved inspectors and then every American Eagle Platinum, Gold and Silver Proof Coin is safely sealed in a protective capsule made of plastic. The coin is them kept in a very beautiful satin-lined velvet case along with the official certificate of purity and authenticity.

Since these proof coins are produced by United States Mint, every coin's weight and purity is guaranteed none other than the United States Government and these coins can be purchased directly from the Mint.

The coins are available in the size of one-ounce, one-tenth, one-quarter and one-half as well as in a complete four coin set that contains one coin of each size. In contrast to this, the American Eagle Gold Coins that are produced at West Point carry a “W” mint mark.
