Learn About Gold Eagles And Other Gold Bullion Coins Directly At Gold-Eagle.org

February 9, 2010 – While some people invest in certified rare coins, many people choose to keep their investments in American gold Eagles and other bullion coins. Many find bullion to be a highly liquid investment, and one that has been profitable for a number of years. These coins are easy to purchase and allow an investor to potentially benefit from increases in the spot gold price.

There are a number of sources of gold bullion, including the United States, Canada, Australia, China, Austria, France, South Africa and England. Bullion coins range in purity from 90% gold for the French Rooster, 91.6% for the American Eagle, 99.9% for the Chinese Panda and 99.99% for the Canadian Maple Leaf and the American Buffalo. In the case of the American Eagle and American Buffalo, the coins are guaranteed by the US government to have the proper weight and gold content, making them more secure investments.

These coins are high quality pieces, with beautiful designs such as the American Gold Eagle coin. Based on the famous Saint-Gaudens Striding Liberty design from 1907 to 1933, this coin is generally considered to be one of the most beautiful ever created. Originally issued in 1986 and using only gold mined in America, these coins have become, according to the US Mint, “world's leading gold bullion investment coins.”

With gold currently trading at $1,076 per ounce and predicted by many to be increasing in value, gold Eagle coins and other bullion can be important trading commodities. These coins offer the potential of profit to successful traders, as the price of gold has risen 1,600% over the past forty years.
