American Eagle Coins - Are They Worth It?

By Frederic Madore

I would like to cover every aspect of the American Eagle gold coins. In order to keep things short I have only included the major topics detailed as good as possible.

There are special coins that investors or coin collectors can make arrangements to buy. These coins unlike the normal coins will add more value to a collector�s collection. These coins are known as the American Eagle Coins.

Unlike other types of coins, the American eagle coins are not sold for commercial purposes. Instead they are issued only to authorised dealers for marketing purposes. Here is a couple of places where you should be able to find these American eagle coins:

- Bank

- Brokerage Companies

- Wholesalers

- Precious metal firms

- Diverse other places approved by the US Mint.

There are also three types of American eagle coins:
- Gold

- Silver

- Platinum

The quality of these coins is amazing. As I wrote earlier these coins are not sold directly to the populace but in proof set. Consequently you must buy them at the current prices for gold and the other alloy they are made from. To make sure they all sell for the same price (according to the market rate of gold and other metal) they have a specific weight that is standard.

It is possible to buy American Eagle Coin in one ounce, one-tenth ounce, one-quarter ounce and one-half ounce denominations.

Among other things, the American Eagle Coins are also known as the American Eagle Bullion Coins. They were first released by the US Mint in 1986. at that time only the only American eagle coins usable where the gold coin and the silver coin that had at one time been in circulation. As for the Platinum American eagle coin they were brought into the open in 1997.

As of now the most expensive of these American eagle coins are those of the gold Saint-Gaudens 1934 20 dollar pieces.

In 1934 the US government banned the use of all forms of gold bullion. At that time the 20 American eagle coins were made from gold. The US government then issued a recall to melt down all the coins. However a few escaped the lot and survived. They are now hunted by every avid collector.

At last If you really are concerned in American eagle coins you should learn to properly recognize them. If you have any in your collection I would extremely advice to keep them safe.

This article was written to provide you with knowledge about the American Coins. I appreciate you taking your time to read it.

Gold certificates are titles for a stipulated amount of gold. You can take physical delivery of the gold or trade on it through the certificates. Another scheme is to go in for a gold accumulation plan - one that allows you to buy gold for a fixed sum each month. This allows you to benefit from acquiring it at a market average price.
Buy gold coins.

A banknote collection is an expression of its owner�s personal tastes and interests. There are no set rules regarding collecting themes; you can be as individualistic as you like. Some collectors specialize in notes from one country only - often their own. Some collect from groups of countries; British Commonwealth, Europe, or Africa, for example. Others collect notes from one period in history - WW2 for example. Others collect notes with some rare peculiarity, like those with printer�s errors. Some collect forgeries. The scope is limited only by your imagination. Many collectors start out just buying anything that happens to appeal. Some prefer to be more specialised. A specialised collection does have a unique appeal and can often be sold for more than the combined values of its individual components. However, the pitfall of becoming too specialised is that suitable material will be increasingly hard to find. But why not compile a specialised collection while simultaneously building a more general, free-style one?

Although some of these U.S. paper money notes carry more of a premium than others, most $2 and $5 Red Seals that are seen are circulated notes from common series that carry very little premium over face value. All $1 Red Seals are scarce and are quite valuable in higher grades, while $100 Red Seals (although relatively modern) carry a premium of 20% to 40% even in circulated condition. Again, there are several scarce issues among these notes, and we recommend the Standard Guide to Small Size U.S. Paper Money (1928 to date), by Dean Oakes and John Schwartz, for more information.

Gold is a tremendous holiday gift and I encourage you to give gold and silver coins to your loved ones this holiday season. There are two high level reasons I like this idea so much. First, gold is an appreciating asset and store of value. By giving a gold coin, you are giving a loved one an investment that has intrinsic value. Second, in this day and age, gold is not a familiar concept to many people. By giving a gold coin, you are opening up a new investment idea to your loved ones. Perhaps they have not considered investing in gold before. Upon holding their first gold coin, they will most likely be extremely interested in learning more. Your gift could provide the perfect starting point to start mentoring and teaching your loved ones all about your passion for gold.
