US Gold Coins

About US Gold Coins

US Gold eagle coins are both highly symbolic and highly collectible. They're not only the highest denomination US coins, but they symbolize the growth of U.S. economic power and influence in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Because of their precious metal content, US gold coins can also have an investment value in addition to their collecting value, depending on the current and expected future market price of gold...

US gold coins were issued in several denominations over the years (starting in 1795), including one dollar pieces, two and a half dollar 'quarter eagles,' three dollar pieces, five dollar 'half eagles,' ten dollar 'eagles,' and twenty dollar 'double eagles.'

Many of the higher denomination gold eagle coins, because of their value, did not circulate widely among the public, but rather were hoarded or melted down or used for trade or interbank transfers.
