Today, gold is available in many forms, and American Gold Eagle Coins have become one of the most popular options available to investors as they are readily available for purchase and easy to store once obtained. As they are also backed by the government of the United States for their stated gold content and purity, investors can feel assured that the product that they are acquiring bears the quality hallmark of a gold bullion coin that has been produced by The United States Mint.

As gold has recently risen over $1,000 per ounce, many industry experts are predicting even further growth. As such, American Gold Eagle coins are seeing high demand with record numbers sold this year. The Mint recently had to begin the allocation of many gold bullion coin items as the availability of raw materials were just not able to keep up with consumer demand.

As the dollar weakens, gold prices tend to climb leaving many investors who have an eye toward diversification into precious metals, to serious interest in expanding into American Gold Eagle Coins.

Traders said gold was forming new bases, resulting in higher gains.

Gold priced at $810.70/811.90 (U.S.) on New York's final trade at 2:15 p.m. EDT, up from $799.65/801.05 at the U.S. market closed Monday. Precious metals started the session lower, slumping to a session low of $782.05.

The dollar was weak across the market as U.S. stocks fell while investors took profits on the dollar's recent gains. The greenback's slump triggered broad-based rallies in commodities and crude.
