A harmonious blend of artistry and wealth preservation, this Gold American Eagle captures the essence of American craftsmanship while offering a tangible asset for both collectors and investors. Cast from .9167 fine gold, this fractional treasure represents not only the enduring allure of gold bullion but also the rich heritage of the U.S. Mint's celebrated coinage.

A hallmark of the Gold American Eagle series, this piece features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' breathtaking depiction of Lady Liberty, a design that pays homage to the golden age of American numismatics. Framed by thirteen stars and wielding an olive branch and torch, Liberty strides confidently forward, symbolizing freedom and hope. The reverse, designed by Miley Busiek, features a majestic bald eagle returning to its family, a powerful representation of American resilience and familial bonds. The Latin inscription, "MCMLXXXVIII," subtly marks its year of minting, adding a historical depth that resonates with numismatists worldwide.

Expertly minted in 1988, this gold coin stands as a testament to the superior craftsmanship of the U.S. Mint. Each 1/10 oz coin in Brilliant Uncirculated condition maintains intricate detailing and sharpness, a testament to its pristine care and minting excellence. The use of copper and silver alloys alongside gold not only contributes to its durability and distinct hue but also enhances its visual and market appeal. With a modest diameter, this gold piece is a versatile asset, easily stored and globally recognized, making it a cornerstone addition to any collection or investment portfolio.

With its roots tracing back to 1986, the American Eagle series holds a prestigious position in the bullion market.
