Us Gold eagles are a sought after coin, a must for every collectors. It's also one of my favorite coins.
Eagles are gold bullions that represents the US similar Maple leafs to Canada and Krugerrand for South Africa.
This is one of the most popular series for the United States. They are available in sizes from 1/10 oz all the way up to 1 oz. Premium for 1/10 is about $10 so the coin now sells for about $280. If you get an new uncirculated coin is $230. My coin is an older coin so it's worth more than newer ones.
The Gold Eagle is 1/10 oz, .999 pure gold, the obverse design is the $20 Saint-Gaudens double eagle design.
The reverse has two eagles.
My dealer finally has a few of these One Oz Eagles but put on a heck of a premium plus a 5% tax on it since it is not 999 or better. My golden dream coin dashed away again. I may have to look at the Buffalo again.

Yes that's heck of a lot for eagle with tax as well. Consider the buffalo at least it's .9999 gold and so good looking, thanks again !
The 1862 Gold Rush at Grimes Creek just north of what is now Boise Idaho and west of Idaho City, pulled enough gold out of the ground to completely pay for all the material to equip soldiers and armies for the Union.
In fact if you were captured they released you if you agreed not to fight which the far majority of these individuals went to the gold rush in Idaho and you can see it in the ghost town names half of them are Northern and the other half are southern names. Funny a lot of them were actually political name like Leesburg Vicksburg Fredericksburg as places of Confederate battles.
There is actually Union factions as well as Confederate ones and then on top of it there was the Chinese.
Gold has such an amazing and vibrant history.
American Gold Eagles are classic!
