American Gold Eagle Series
The American Gold Eagle series, first released in 1986, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of gold as a symbol of wealth and security. Born from the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, this series includes coins in four sizes: 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz. The ½ oz Gold Eagle, containing half an ounce (15.5517 grams) of pure gold with a fineness of .9167, has an actual weight of approximately 16.965 grams or 0.5455 troy ounces. Fractional gold coins like this are favored by investors because they provide a more accessible entry point into gold investment, offering affordability and the flexibility to adjust holdings in smaller increments.

2025 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Design
The 2025 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle continues the rich tradition of pairing historic and modern artistry. The obverse design, crafted by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907, depicts Lady Liberty confidently striding forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other, representing enlightenment and peace. This design was first featured on the $20 Gold Double Eagle which was minted from 1907-1933.

The reverse, introduced in 2021, was designed by Jennie Norris and features a close-up depiction of a bald eagle, capturing the fierce and noble spirit of America’s national bird. This modern design replaced Miley Busiek’s original design that featured a family of eagles. This new reverse design complements the historic obverse, creating a coin that honors both America’s heritage and its present-day values.

The MintDirect® process ensures that each coin in this 40-coin tube remains in the same pristine condition as when it left the U.S. Mint. The tube is sealed by the Mint, providing assurance that the coins have not been handled or exposed since their release.
