FAQ
How does the 1 oz American Gold Eagle differ from other bullion coins made of gold?
The American Gold Eagle is 91.67% gold (22 karats), as it is alloyed with copper and silver for extra strength. Although not .9999 pure, the coin still contains pure gold (troy ounce) and features a warm, rich color thanks to the presence of the durability-increasing alloy metals.
What does the “BU” mean in reference to the Gold Eagle?
“BU” means “Brilliant Uncirculated.” It means that a 1 oz Gold Eagle coin maintains its mint luster and hasn’t been circulated. BU Eagles might show small contact marks due to mint handling. However, they’re deemed investment-grade gold bullion products.
What does “Year Varies” for Gold Eagles refer to?
This phrase means a seller carries coins from a mixture of years in their inventory. If you purchase a Gold Eagle from the dealer, you’ll receive an authentic 1 oz piece, but the piece’s specific year will depend on your dealer’s current stock. The “Year Varies” strategy helps ensure steady availability while keeping premiums competitive.
Why are 1 oz Gold Eagle coins’ premiums often higher than those for other gold coins?
These coins’ premiums reflect their iconic design, IRA eligibility, global recognition, government backing, and high demand in the United States. Since they’re the nation’s flagship gold bullion, the resale value is strong.
