American Gold Eagles Still Shine For Investors

October 2, 2009 · Posted in Gold Bullion News · Comment 

With year-to-date sales of American Gold Eagles closing in on nearly one-million units sold for 2009, the United States Mint has experienced a banner year for their American Eagle coin program.

Gold Eagles have found strong investor interest throughout the year with many near record sale numbers achieved, including the month of September during which over 115,000 gold eagles were sold and experiencing one of it's highest selling Septembers by volume.

As investors shy away from traditional investment opportunities such as stocks and bonds, the American Gold Eagle has enjoyed a resurgence the last couple of years with no end to their popularity on the horizon. Gold Eagles not only draw the interest of investors here in the United States, they also have become one of the most revered gold bullion coins on a worldwide basis. As the global economy continues to lag, investors continue to seek a hedge against falling dollar values.

As the price of gold hovers at $1,000 per ounce, seeking ways to obtain physical gold as efficiently and safely as possible, has become a priority to many of those hoping to take advantage of potential future gains. American Gold Eagles fulfill many of those requirements as they are readily available, accepted as a quality gold bullion coin anywhere in the world and due to their convenient size can be easily and safely stored.

All in all, 2009 will go down as a great year for the American Gold Eagle coin, with many investors who were previously unaware of the benefits and enjoyment of obtaining Gold Eagles joining the ranks of the many thousands of experienced gold bullion investors.

American Gold Eagles Rise As Investor Demand Grows

September 12, 2009 · Posted in Gold Bullion News · Comment 

Gold climbed above $1,000 on Friday as investors have grown increasingly interested in gold bullion coins and gold mining stocks as an investment alternative to falling traditional stocks and an unstable real estate market, especially since this time last year. The price of the precious metal has nearly doubled in the past four years as investors seek to hedge their portfolios against inflation and other possible downturns in the usual longtime standards, mainly stocks and bonds.

As Federal regulations state that the raw gold used in American Gold Eagle Coins must be mined here in the United States, very few  gold refineries qualify in meeting the standards required to officially produce the blanks needed for the coin minting process. These stringent regulations created a shortage of gold uncirculated and proof coins this past summer, fueling investor demand for gold bullion products even more this year.

The United States Mint has already sold over 750,000 American Gold Eagles so far this year, outpacing last years total numbers for the entire year. As final numbers begin to filter in at the start of 2010, sales of gold bullion coins should approach all-time record numbers, and with interest in gold bullion showing no signs of slowing down currently, many experts predict that next year will be an equally strong year in relation to physical gold as an investment option.
