Description
Struck by the United States Mint, this 1 oz American Gold Eagle carries a $50 face value and contains one full troy ounce of pure gold in a durable 22-karat (.9167) alloy of gold, silver, and copper. The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated striding Lady Liberty, carrying a torch and olive branch with the Capitol building in the background, a design first used on the 1907 $20 double eagle. Offered in mixed years, these coins are an economical way to own one of the world's most widely recognized and readily traded gold bullion coins, and they are eligible for inclusion in precious metals IRAs.
