Gold American Eagles Design and Specifications

The largest coin produced by the U.S. Mint, the 1 oz American Eagle gold coin is the first to be authorized by Congress and backed by the mint’s weight, content and purity guarantee. Each coin consists of 1 troy ounce of .9167 fine gold as well as a small amount of copper and silver alloy to help maintain a pristine appearance and maximize resale value.

The obverse of 1 oz American Eagle gold coins features Lady Liberty holding an olive branch and a torch with a rising sun and the U.S. Capitol dome in the background; and is inscribed with “Liberty,” the issue date and mint mark.

In celebration of the series’ 35th anniversary, the 2021 one ounce Gold American Eagle’s obverse was slightly modified to more closely realize the artist’s original vision, however, the overall design remains intact.

From 1986 to 2021, the coin’s reverse featured a male bald eagle grasping an olive branch in his talons, flying toward his mate and her hatchlings in a nest. Halfway through the 2021 minting year, the reverse design was changed featuring an artfully intricate depiction of an eagle’s head. The latest coins have also been updated with enhanced security features.

How long will it take to receive my gold?

Almost every investment in physical metal is unique. For this reason, calculating shipping timing for a unique gold product is not a universal answer. Delivery of your metal is dependent on a large variety of factors including the quantity of metals, when your purchase is made, and more.

On average, physical metal will leave the shipping facility two to five days following confirmed reliable good funds. Upon receipt of payment and confirmation of reliable good funds, Monex will direct one of its independent shipping facilities to package and assign it to either USPS or UPS for delivery. You will then receive email or telephone notification of your shipment’s tracking number.

During times when the shipping volume is extremely high, you will be notified if any delays are expected. Call a Monex account representative to learn more about estimated shipping times for your unique investment.

Is my gold investment insured?

All shipments of gold products to you are insured against loss or damage in transit. If you decide to have your gold delivered to and stored by a bank/depository, the metal is fully insured in transit and also while in storage.

Can I store my gold investment through Monex?

Monex can arrange for the secure storage of your gold bullion or coin investments. We will deliver your gold with full title and ownership in your name to one of the independent bank/depository facilities that provide storage for Monex customers. When your metal is received by the third party depository, the custodian of the facility will send you a document acknowledging receipt and verifying you as owner of the gold being stored.
