1/2 oz Gold Eagle Coin - Random Year - US Mint

The American Gold Eagle Coin was authorized by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 and was first released in 1986. It is offered in 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 troy ounce increments and each coin is guaranteed by the U.S. government to contain the stated weight in pure gold. The Eagle coin is 22 carat gold and is made from 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper to make it more durable. This combination is traditionally referred to as "crown gold" and was used by the British Crown for centuries to make coins last longer, while still containing the requisite amount of gold. The total weight of this coin is 0.5454 troy ounces and this allows the coin to still have 1/2 oz of gold, even though it is not 999 or 9999 Pure Gold.

This is a random year item - metal weight and purity are guaranteed but exact design and condition may vary and are subject to availability. You may receive any variation of year and design from 1986 to the present, you may receive a coin with Type 1 or Type 2 reverse. Each issue maintains a similar, but not always identical, design on both the obverse and reverse.
