The American Gold Eagle is the heaviest gold coin in the US and rivals popular gold coins all over the world! In 1986, the United States began striking gold and silver bullion coins to compete with world bullion coins such as the Canadian Maple Leaf, the South African Krugerrand, and others. The American Gold Eagles are an extremely popular way of buying gold.
The 1991 Proof American Gold Eagle Quarter Ounce comes with its original government packaging and Certificate of Authenticity. The 1991 Proof American Gold Eagle Quarter Ounce is also encased in an airtight capsule and is presented in a velvet display box. The purity, of the American Gold Eagle, is 91.67% gold but contains one 1/4 troy ounce of gold. The additional metals in the coins are copper and silver creating a purity of 22 karat. This additional metal is added to keep the coin from scratching as gold is actually a softer metal and can scratch easily in it's pure state. The coin actually weighs more than a 1/4 ounce. This 22 kt alloy is traditionally know as crown gold and is an English standard.
