The American Gold Eagle coin made its debut in 1986, offering both bullion and proof versions. Initially, the bullion coins were available in 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz weights. The proof version followed suit, introducing fractional weights over time.

In terms of popularity, the 1 oz American Gold Eagle was the flagship bullion offering when first introduced. However, by the release of the 2005 1 oz American Gold Eagle, the 1/10 oz bullion coin had actually surpassed the 1 oz coin in annual demand, showcasing the evolving preferences of collectors.

The obverse of these coins features the iconic Lady Liberty designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, originally intended for an ultra-high-relief striking. On the reverse, Miley Busiek’s timeless image of an American bald eagle depicts a family around their nest, symbolizing strength and unity.

Each 2005 1 oz American Gold Eagle coin from BullionMax is available with a protective plastic flip. The 2005 mintage marked the start of a brief downturn after mintages had increased year-over-year from 2002 to 2004.
