American Gold Eagles & Silver Eagles
The official United States gold bullion coin, the American Gold Eagle, was released in 1986. All American Gold Eagles are minted from gold mined in the United States and imprinted with their gold content and legal tender, or face value. You can buy the official gold bullion of the United States in a 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz or 1 oz denominations. Like many collectible coins, the Gold Eagle coin’s worth far exceeds its face value; it’s worth corresponds more accurately with its gold content. Some American Gold Eagles carry an even greater numismatic value. Proof American Gold Eagles are also available, usually in somewhat more limited quantities. Like the American Gold Eagle, the weight and purity of The American Silver Eagle Bullion Coins are guaranteed by the United States Government. They are also the only silver coins allowed in an Individual Retirement Account, or IRA. American Silver Eagles are wonderful collectibles, as it is relatively affordable to complete a full set. Additionally, the American Silver Eagle is a wonderful gift or makes a great statement as professional incentive reward.

That iconic numismatic treasure was introduced in 1913 and details the exceptional and native beauty of the American West.
The American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coin is the first .9999 fine 24-karat gold coin ever to be struck by the United States Mint. Along with all of the other Bullion produced by the United States Mint, the purity and content of the American Buffalo is guaranteed by the United States Government.
