Eagle Gold Content
Eagle gold content varies slightly between bullion American Eagles, and rare Double Eagles, which are historically beneficial for long-term wealth preservation. Modern American Eagle bullion is ideal for tracking the current gold spot price, because their Eagle gold content is exactly one troy-ounce of pure gold. Conversely, $20 Lady Liberty, and $20 Saint Gaudens, 22-karat gold coins (which are also known as Double Eagles) contain just under a full troy-ounce of pure gold (.9675 troy-ounces), but their prices are substantially higher despite their inferior eagle gold content. These high premiums are attributed to their numismatic value, which historically appreciates when dollar values continue to slump.
Savvy household investors have been steadily converting their stocks and bonds holdings into physical gold investments in bullion and rare coin since 2001, and these investments have appreciated notably every year since. Current gold spot price levels are again under $1100 per troy-ounce levels, so now could be a good time for investors to research the benefits that accompany physical gold ownership in both American Eagle bullion, and Double Eagle rare coin. Other popular rare coin choices include $10, $5, and $2.5 Lady Liberty, and Indian Head, 22-karat gold coins. These coins are referred to as Eagles, Half-Eagles, Quarter-Eagle rare gold coins, and investors can receive institutional discounts on these, and many other gold coins by contacting one of our friendly specialists today.
