Composition & Mint
Why is the Gold Eagle 22-karat instead of pure gold?
The 22-karat composition adds copper and silver for enhanced durability without reducing the gold content—you still get exactly 1 troy ounce of pure gold. This harder alloy resists scratches and wear better than 24-karat coins, making Eagles ideal for handling and long-term storage.
Why buy Gold Eagles instead of other gold coins?
- Government guarantee: Only gold coin backed by U.S. government for weight and purity
- IRA eligibility: Special IRS exception allows 22-karat Eagles in retirement accounts
- Superior liquidity: Trades with tightest spreads (2-5% premium) at any dealer worldwide
- Legal tender status: $50 face value provides additional legal protections

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common Gold Eagle questions
What's the best size Gold Eagle for investment?
The 1 oz American Gold Eagle offers the lowest premiums and highest liquidity, making it ideal for substantial investments. Fractional sizes (1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz) provide flexibility for smaller allocations or gift-giving.
What's the current premium over spot price?
Gold Eagles typically trade at 3-5% over spot gold price, depending on market conditions. This premium is among the lowest for government-minted gold coins and remains stable during resale.
Can I take physical possession of IRA Gold Eagles?
IRA rules require professional depository storage until distribution. Taking possession triggers a taxable event. However, you can purchase Gold Eagles outside of an IRA for personal possession while still enjoying all investment benefits.
