American Gold Eagles contain 22-karat gold, with each denomination containing its stated amount of pure gold: one troy ounce, one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce or one-tenth ounce. From 1986 through mid-2021, the reverse featured Miley Busiek’s family of eagles design. In 2021, the U.S. Mint introduced the Type 2 American Gold Eagle, featuring Jennie Norris’ detailed portrait of an American bald eagle, creating two distinct design types within the series.

For collectors seeking certified American Gold Eagles, condition, grade, mintage, certification and overall eye appeal can play important roles in numismatic value beyond the underlying gold content. High-grade PCGS and NGC Gold Eagles, Proof issues, lower-mintage dates and exceptional examples can command collectible premiums and offer a different market than ordinary bullion Gold Eagles.
