The Gold Eagle American Coin As An Investment
In 1986, gold eagle coins debuted and are produced only in the United States of America. These were the initial 1-oz gold coins to be created by the U.S. Mint. Moreover, these coins were made of 22-karat gold, the first ever of their kind to be made by the Mint. Copper was included in the coins to bring them to 22-karat, so the total weight of the Gold Eagle is slightly over an ounce at 1.0909 oz.
Eagles are considered bullion, so they are worth their face value plus a price over spot. Spot is the term for the price at which gold trades in its raw state over a 2 day period. Spot is the standard for the cost of the most precious of all precious metals. Read more

$20 Liberty Gold Coins
The 1848 California gold rush in many was responsible for the creation of a number of classic gold American coins. The discovery of a considerable sum of gold deposits in 1848 brought the creation of a new coin known as the $20 Liberty Gold Coin. The coins were made out of 90% gold with 10% copper alloy rounding them out. In 1850, the $20 coin was routinely minted. This repeated through 1933 when the worth of gold rose significantly. There was already a $10 version in existence, originally produced in 1795. That coin was referred to as the "eagle." As a result, when the $20 coin arrived onto the scene, individuals referred to it as the "gold double eagle" since its value was double the value of the $10 version. Read more
