Certified American Gold Eagles

Each year, Certified American Gold Eagles are available with grades from grading authorities such as the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC).

Historical Significance and Design

The American Gold Eagle series, launched in 1986, marked a significant return to gold coin issuance in the United States after a hiatus of over five decades. Featuring iconic designs like Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty on the obverse and Miley Busiek’s family of American bald eagles on the reverse, these coins pay homage to America’s rich numismatic history while embodying modern minting standards and purity.

Proof American Gold Buffalo Offered alongside the BU series, the Proof American Gold Buffalo provides collectors with a premium version of this historic design. Packaged individually in presentation cases with Certificates of Authenticity, these coins feature the same design elements as the BU version and are minted with meticulous attention to detail and quality.
