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

Gold Investment On Upswing

GOLD INVESTMENT NEWS:
Gold prices ended higher on Monday as U.S. dollar weakness created broad gains in the commodities market, although platinum prices finished lower after reaching 11-month lows during Asian trading.

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.
