APMEX Tamper Evident Packaging
APMEX uses a dedicated packaging process designed to ensure customers receive authentic precious metals products. Tamper Evident Packaging provides a clear visual confirmation that the coin remains sealed and protected after processing, giving buyers confidence when purchasing, storing, or selling.

Each Gold American Eagle is individually sealed after being removed directly from mint packaging. The coin is placed inside an authentication card made from a non reactive plastic polymer designed to help protect the coin’s surface and appearance.

During sealing, the coin becomes fully enclosed within the authentication card, forming a tamper evident package intended to preserve the coin long term. Once sealed, every package is inspected to verify that it meets APMEX quality standards before it is approved.

This process helps ensure that the coin you receive is genuine and preserved in the condition expected from newly handled bullion products, giving investors confidence in the authenticity of their purchase.

Direct from the U.S. Mint
The United States Mint distributes its bullion coins through a small network of authorized purchasers rather than selling them directly to the public. These authorized purchasers then supply the coins to the broader marketplace. As an authorized purchaser, APMEX is able to source coins directly from the U.S. Mint and offer them to customers.

American Gold Eagle Coins
Authorized by Congress in 1986, the Gold American Eagle series quickly rose to prominence as one of the most widely recognized bullion coins in the world. It marked the first gold bullion coin program issued by the United States government specifically for investment. The obverse features the classic Liberty design created by Augustus Saint Gaudens for the $20 Double Eagle first released in 1907.

American Gold Eagles are struck in .9167 fine gold, with small amounts of copper and silver blended into the alloy to enhance strength and durability. This composition helps the coins resist wear while preserving their full gold content.

The series is available in four denominations containing 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 oz of gold, allowing both collectors and investors to choose the size that best fits their needs. Every coin carries a government guarantee of weight and purity. Although the U.S. Mint produces these coins, distribution occurs through Authorized Purchasers such as APMEX, helping maintain an active and liquid global market for this widely traded bullion series.
