10 dollars American Eagle 1/4 oz gold

1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Type 2

First introduced by an Act of Congress in 1986, the American Gold Eagle has become one of the world's most trusted and widely traded gold bullion coins. As the first official gold investment coin ever backed by the United States government, it remains a cornerstone of any precious metals portfolio.

The 2024 1/4 oz Gold American Eagle offers investors a more accessible entry point into the series. Struck in durable 22-karat gold (purity .9167), each coin contains exactly 1/4 troy ounce of pure gold the standard by which all Gold Eagles are measured. The alloy is reinforced with copper and silver, giving the coin exceptional scratch resistance and longevity compared to softer 24-karat alternatives.

Reverse:
An intimate, close up portrait of the American bald eagle, masterfully engraved by Jennie Norris. The eagle is depicted with remarkable detail, capturing the strength and dignity of America's national bird.
