Description
Proof Gold Eagle Set (1 oz, 1/2-oz, 1/4-oz, & 1/10-oz) – Random Years
The Proof Gold Eagle Set is a prestigious collection of four gold coins issued by the US Mint, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and beauty.
These coins are offered in random years, spanning from 1988 to 2008 and from 2010 to the present, with the year 2009 excluded due to the suspension of production during the Financial Crisis.
Each coin in the set is meticulously struck multiple times using specially polished dies to achieve a stunning, high-relief finish that sets them apart from standard bullion coins.
Product Highlights:
- Total Gold Content: The set includes a total of 1.85 troy ounces of actual gold content.
- Minted by the US Mint: Produced at the US Mint in West Point, New York, each coin is backed by the US government for weight and purity.
- Purity and Composition: These 22-karat gold coins (.9167 pure) contain the actual gold weight stamped on them, with silver and copper alloys added for durability.
- IRA Eligibility: Despite being 22-karat, these coins are eligible to be held in precious metals IRAs due to a specific IRS exemption.
- Packaging: Each coin is encapsulated in clear, hard plastic to prevent damage, and the set is housed in a velvet-lined box with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
- Limited Mintage: The proof coins are produced in limited quantities, enhancing their appeal and potential value over time.
Design:
- Obverse: Features the iconic Lady Liberty design.
- Reverse: Showcases either a family of nesting eagles or a single Bald Eagle, depending on the minting year.
Coin Weights and Denominations:
- 1 oz coin with a $50 face value
- 1/2 oz coin with a $25 face value
- 1/4 oz coin with a $10 face value
- 1/10 oz coin with a $5 face value
Investment Value
Proof Gold Eagle Sets are not only a testament to the craftsmanship of the US Mint but also a sound investment. The limited mintage and superior quality make these coins highly sought after by collectors and investors alike. Their inclusion in precious metals IRAs offers a tax-advantaged investment opportunity, further enhancing their appeal.
Pricing and Availability
