    History of the American Gold Eagle
    The US American Gold Eagle represents the US entry into Gold Bullion investing and became the first gold coin to be minted, in the US, since 1933. When the Gold Bullion Act of 1985 was passed, the legislation demanded that there would be four weight sizes offered and two different types of coins minted. This resulted in the American Gold Eagle containing the 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz in sizes.
    First struck in 1986, Gold Eagles are one of the world's most popular ways to buy gold.

    The burnishing process was first introduced into the U.S. Mint's product line in 2006, when the U.S. Mint began producing burnished American Eagle coins in silver, gold, and platinum.

    Burnished” describes a coin's finish. Burnished coins have a soft, matte-like finish. They're somewhat shiny, but not as shiny or as vibrant as a proof coin. Burnished coins are smooth to the touch and display a great deal of detail. Note that the U.S. Mint does not use the term “burnished.” Instead, the mint refers to these coins simply as “uncirculated.” It’s the numismatic community that continues to use the term “burnished” in reference to coins produced with burnished blanks. Per the U.S. Mint, “the term ‘uncirculated’ refers to a specialized minting process… uncirculated quality coins are distinguished by the presence of a mint mark, indicating their production facility, and by the use of burnished coin blanks, which are hand-fed into specially adapted coining presses one at a time.”
    The burnished finish on this coin is absolutely gorgeous.   Check out photos for condition. Photos may appear a bit shiny or dark due to my photography skills. The coin pictured is the coin you will receive! This is from my personal collection which I am thinning out.
