When you invest in gold, choose the bullion coins that feature the very
symbol of our nation’s freedom – the American eagle. Choose American
Eagle Gold Bullion Coins, the number one gold bullion coins in the
world, from the United States Mint.
Investing in Gold Eagles increases your portfolio’s diversity. They
bring balance, because their value often moves independently of stocks
and bonds. They offer liquidity, meaning they’re easy to buy and sell.
And in this fast-paced world of electronic investing, Gold Eagles are
tangible investments whose beauty and artistry you can literally enjoy
in the palm of your hand. Available in four denominations, they sell at
a variety of prices – smaller sizes also make affordable, thoughtful
gifts.
American Eagle Gold Coins
Authorized by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986, American
Eagle Gold Bullion Coins are minted according to the durable, 22-karat
standard established for circulating gold coinage 350 years ago. Each
coin contains its full, stated weight of pure gold, which by law, must
be taken from newly-mined sources in America. The balance consists of
silver and copper, added to increase the coin’s durability to help
resist scratching and marring, which can adversely affect a bullion
coin’s resale value. Gold Eagles are rich in history, too. The obverse
is based on world-renowned American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens’
design for the prized 1907 $20 gold coin. The reverse pictures a family
of eagles, symbolizing family tradition and unity.
Government Guarantee
American Eagle Gold coins are America’s only official
investment-grade gold bullion coins . They’re the world’s only gold
bullion coins whose weight, content and purity are guaranteed by the
United States Government [note that the American Buffalo coin now
shares these distinctions]. So like the dollar, American Eagles are
welcome in major investment markets worldwide. You can even include
them in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
Portfolio Diversification
Many investment experts believe that adding gold to your portfolio
may improve its performance. That’s because the forces that determine
gold’s price usually differ from and in many cases counter the forces
that determine the price of many financial assets. Investment advisors
often suggest that this relationship may help to reduce portfolio
volatility. Gold Eagles are the easy, convenient and affordable way to
add gold to your portfolio.
Easy to Buy and Sell
One measure of an investment is liquidity: How easily can it be
converted into cash? Gold Eagles, with their unique U.S. Government
backing, can be sold for cash at most coin and precious metals dealers
worldwide. They’re also legal tender. Their face values are largely
symbolic, because gold’s market price – which is reported in the market
pages and web sites of major newspapers – has historically been higher.
