The 1 oz Gold Eagle coin has long been one of the most beloved modern gold bullion coins minted, having first been introduced into circulation by the US Government back in 1986. Backed by strict guarantees of weight and content from US regulators, its popularity remains unparalleled today.
The coin’s obverse side features the iconic Saint-Gaudens $20 Double Eagle design, which was widely circulated until 1933.

Purity
The United States government guarantees the purity, weight and gold content of one ounce American Eagle coins produced by the US Mint. They come in four sizes – 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz – making this coin accessible for most consumers.
Gold Eagles are one of the most popular options available to investors for purchasing gold bullion. At competitively priced international liquidity levels, they provide financial security against domestic and global economic instability.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens designed the original $20 Double Eagle coins issued in 1907. On its reverse, Miley Busiek depicts a male bald eagle carrying an olive branch to protect a female eagle and her hatchlings while carrying it back home safely with him, carrying their legal tender face value of $50 as part of Miley Busiek’s design.
Weight
The 1 oz American Gold Eagle carries a face value of $50; however, its true market value is determined by fluctuations in gold prices on commodity exchanges which vary constantly.
To calculate the total price of a 1-ounce Gold Eagle coin, multiply its weight (1 troy ounce). Next, add or subtract any premiums that may have been offered by dealers as profit margin.
