4pc Proof Gold Eagle Sets
The US Congress passed the Gold Bullion Act of 1985, in order to have more control over coin money. One of the constituents, of the bill, was that the gold needed to be mined domestically. The result was the American Gold Eagle, that produced in four increments (1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz). The 1 oz Proof American Gold Eagle was also produced, although it would take the course of 2 years for the other increments to be released.
Production of the Proof American Gold Eagle
Due to the Proof American Gold Eagles not being minted, at the same rate as the brilliant uncirculated coins, their value is higher and is the ideal investment not just for collectors, but investors as well. The proof finish is described as mirror-like and although it contains the same alloy as the brilliant uncirculated version, making it a more durable coin, the proof finish is more sensitive to contact, resulting in an easily scratched coin. Numismatists prefer keeping their Proof Gold Eagles in their original packaging for protection.
Proof American Gold Eagle Packaging
Unlike the brilliant uncirculated American Gold Eagles, that are only packaged in tubes of 10, the Proof American Gold Eagle's packaging is more aesthetically pleasing. The Proof American Gold Eagle Sets contain all four sizes produced and each coin is encapsulated in its own plastic coin capsule. The set comes in a velvet box, that can hold all four coins, with the Certificate of Authenticity included in the packaging. The entire set is then placed in a presentation box, issued by the US Mint.
Investing in Proof American Gold Eagles
The Proof American Gold Eagle Coins offer investors and collectors a seamless asset to their longterm investment goals. Recognized by most retirement and IRA accounts, the Proof American Gold Eagle transcends its face value, while maintaining high intrinsic and numismatic value. The fractional Proof American Gold Eagles come in sizes: 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. These smaller sizes represent a great entry level coin for nearly anyone. The Proof American Gold Eagle program is the official bullion coin of the US and its popularity is not surprising.
