The American Gold Eagle

The American Gold Eagle is 22-karat gold, comprising 91.67% fine gold, 3% silver and 5.33% copper. These coins bear a distinctive hue and boast a slightly larger diameter and weight than .999 fine gold bullion counterparts. This unique alloyed composition imbues the coins with a nuanced color and ensures enhanced durability, setting them apart in the bullion world. The 1 oz American Gold Eagle has an actual weight of 33.93 grams or 1.0909 troy ounces, containing a full troy ounce of pure gold.

The deliberate alloy blend not only differentiates it in appearance but also provides a larger canvas for the design of Liberty on the obverse and a bald eagle on the reverse. Each 1 oz coin has a diameter of 32.7mm and a thickness of 2.87mm.

American Gold Eagle Fractional Sizes

Unlike some gold bullion coins, the American Gold Eagle offers fractional sizes, providing options in 1/2, 1/4, and 1/10 troy ounces. This diversity of sizes provides an advantage to enthusiasts and investors, permitting the acquisition and liquidation of gold in smaller, more manageable increments.

Gold Eagle fractional sizes were included within the legislation that birthed the American Eagle Program. This allowed for the creation of sizes beyond the standard one troy ounce, catering to a diverse range of investors and collectors. Since fractional sizes are less expensive than the 1 oz Gold Eagle, people with a smaller budget have a chance to own gold.

Fractional Gold Eagle Mintage

Fractional Gold Eagles typically have lower mintages compared to their full troy ounce counterparts. In 2022, the U.S. Mint produced 850,000 1 oz Gold Eagles and only 75,000 ½ oz, 140,000 ¼ oz, and 575,000 1/10 oz sizes. While this is a common ratio of mintages, there are numerous years (1995, 1996, 1999-2002, 2006, 2007, 2014-2019) in which there were more 1/10 oz Gold Eagles produced than the popular 1 oz option. In 1999, there were 2,750,338 1/10 oz and 1,505,026 1 oz minted. The smallest Gold Eagle caters to a large niche market that wants a cheaper gold bullion option.
