1/4 Oz American Gold Eagle Coin, Type 1 Design (Dates Our Choice)

The 1/4 Oz American Gold Eagle Coin is a highly sought-after coin for both collectors and investors, celebrated for its iconic design and a balance between affordability and substantial gold content. Minted by the United States Mint, this coin has been a staple in the gold bullion market since its introduction in 1986.

The Type 1 design, featuring Augustus Saint-Gaudens' depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a family of bald eagles on the reverse, remains one of the most recognizable and cherished designs in American numismatics. The design was changed to the Type-2 design in mid-2021.

Coin Highlights:

  • Iconic Design: The obverse showcases the timeless image of Lady Liberty, originally created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. She strides forward with a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, embodying liberty and peace. The reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, depicts a family of bald eagles nesting, symbolizing strength and family values.

  • Balanced Size: Weighing 1/4 troy ounce of gold, this coin offers a significant gold content while remaining more affordable than larger coins. Its size also makes it practical for investment diversification.

  • 22-Karat Gold: Composed of 91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper, the coin has a durable 22-karat composition, ensuring its longevity and resistance to wear.

  • Legal Tender: With a face value of $10 USD, the 1/4 Oz American Gold Eagle is legal tender, though its intrinsic value is much higher, determined by the current market price of gold.

  • Government Assurance: Each coin's weight, content, and purity are guaranteed by the United States Mint, providing assurance of authenticity and quality.

  • Investment-Grade: The 1/4 Oz American Gold Eagle is IRA-eligible, allowing investors to include these coins in self-directed precious metals IRAs for retirement savings.

  • High Liquidity: Recognized worldwide, these coins are highly liquid and can be easily bought and sold in the global market.

  • Mint: United States Mint (Philadelphia Mint and West Point Mint locations)

  • Denomination: $10.00 USD

  • Dates: 1986 - Present (Dates Our Choice)

  • Quality / Type: Bullion, Uncirculated (BU)

  • Purity: 91.67% gold (22 karat), 3% silver, 5.33% copper

  • Gold Weight: 1/4 troy ounce (0.2500 ounces of pure gold, 0.2727 ounces gross)

  • Diameter: 22.00 mm (0.866 inches)

  • Edge: Reeded

  • Obverse Design: Lady Liberty by Augustus Saint-Gaudens
