Collecting Gold Eagle Sets With the Help of Gold-Eagle.org

Gold Eagle Sets

The United States Mint has been producing American Eagle gold bullion coins since 1986. This incredible replica of the most beautiful American coin, the Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, has been an excellent investment as the price of gold has soared over the last decade. The Gold Eagle has been made in one ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce, and tenth ounce sizes. The investors can also purchase entire Gold Eagle sets of all four coins for any year from 1986 to 2009.

The United States Mint has temporarily suspended minting of American Eagle coins and will resume with the 2010 one ounce gold bullion coin once stocks of gold bullion are replenished at the mint. Because of the continued popularity of this coin, the mint used up its supply of bullion.

The last year for Gold Eagle sets will be 2009 as the Mint has also announced that it is no longer going to mint the fractional versions. Unless the Mint reverses its stated policy, Gold Eagle sets will only be available for years 1986 to 2009. Although the Gold Eagle is intended to be a vehicle for gold bullion investment, it is a beautiful replica of the 1907-1933 Saint Gaudens Double Eagle. With the termination of the three fractional coins, proof sets with all four versions of the coin may well assume a collector status.

As with all gold investments, it is wise to consult with the professional gold exchange experts at gold-eagle.org for information on any changes in pricing and availability of the old sets of Gold Eagles, as well as to purchase the 2010 American Eagles when they are issued by the US Mint.
