American Gold Eagles Series
Authorized by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, American Gold Eagles have been issued since 1986 and trusted worldwide for their stability and gold content.
2026 1 oz American Gold Eagle Design
The obverse of the coin features Lady Liberty, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, advancing with purpose in front of the Capitol building. She holds a torch in one hand to represent enlightenment and an olive branch in the other as a symbol of peace, all set against a background of radiant sunlight. This classic design has served as a proud representation of American freedom for more than a century. On the reverse, a 2021 redesign by Jennie Norris presents a close-up portrait of a bald eagle, rendered with remarkable realism and intensity to reflect the nation's strength and character. This design succeeded Miley Busiek’s original family-of-eagles motif, which appeared on the coin from its launch in 1986.
United States Mint
On April 2, 1792, the U.S. Congress enacted the Coinage Act, setting the stage for the establishment of the nation's first official Mint in Philadelphia, then serving as the capital of the United States. As the U.S. Mint evolved into the exclusive source of legal tender coinage, it developed a legacy of strict adherence to precise metal content and weight standards. That dedication to consistency and accuracy endures today, ensuring each Gold Eagle continues to earn global respect for its authenticity and exceptional quality.
MintDirect® Single
These coins are taken directly from sealed U.S. Mint Monster Boxes and promptly secured in tamper-evident packaging to preserve their original, unhandled condition. The MintDirect® designation ensures your coin remains exactly as it was when it left the mint, offering added confidence in its authenticity and quality.
