American Eagle Coins

What are American Eagle Bullion Coins?

Although US gold eagle coins can date their history back to the $20 Double Eagle in the late 18th century, eagle bullion as we know it today was first released in 1986 with the American Gold Eagle coin, following authorization by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985. 

With the success of the gold eagle's release in October, the US Mint then introduced a silver variant in November, 1986, with each coin becoming the official faces of American bullion.

The National Bird of USA

Dating back to 1782, the bald eagle earned the esteemed title of the national bird of the United States. This distinction came about when it was immortalised, with its wings outstretched, on the Great Seal of America's country. 

The 35th U.S. President, John F. Kennedy, once stated, "The Founding Fathers made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation. The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird symbolises the strength and freedom of America."
