American Gold Eagle
Three benefits to owning American Gold Eagle coins are their relative affordability, versatility, and credibility. These beautiful, 22-Karat gold coins contain one full Troy ounce of pure gold, and the U.S. government backs them for their weight, and precious metal content. They contain no numismatic value like rare coins do, so their prices generally hover slightly above the current gold spot price, which is the cost of one Troy ounce of pure gold. This relative affordability, compared to rare coin prices, makes American Gold Eagle coins ideal diversifications for rare coin investments, as well as beneficial, long-term investments of their own. Many investors simply cannot afford the high prices that rare coins command, and use American Gold Eagles as U.S. government approved, gold-backed IRA contributions.
American Eagles are the only acceptable 22-Karat coins that are allowed for IRA contribution, along with 24-Karat coins, like American Buffalos. Investors can also diversify their American bullion coins with international bullion, like 24-Karat, Australian Kangaroos, Koalas, and Lunar coins. Other coins include 24-Karat, Austrian Philharmonics, Chinese Pandas, and Canadian Maple Leafs. All of these coins are offered in smaller denominations like ½-ounce, ¼-ounce, and 1/10-ounces, for greater affordability.
Even though bullion coins possess no numismatic value, some coins can increase in value significantly over time, as limited mintages can sometimes create an opportunity for these coins to become coveted collectors’ items.
