The American Gold Eagle's authenticity and legal tender is backed by the US government, ensuring the validity of your investment. Although collectors and investors know what to expect when it comes to the design, of the American Gold Eagle, this coin only increases in popularity each year. In order to keep the luster pristine and the strike sharp, the US Mint creates a new die annually from scratch. Throwing out the dies from the previous year, the US Mint makes sure every detail is flawless before producing the new coin. The US Mint only sells directly to authorized dealers, allowing those dealers the ability to distribute to the public. 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 value of these coins was intended to be tied directly to their metal value, although in some cases (where mintages were low) a collector market has developed.
Among the most popular gold bullion coins, the 2006-W American Gold Eagle stands proudly with a design that perfectly depicts the US pride. The 2006-W American Gold Eagle is also produced in smaller increments, not limiting the opportunity of owning one to only those who can afford the one ounce beauties. Collectors enjoy keeping a collection of all sizes, when it comes to the American Gold Eagle, allowing them elbow room if they ever need to sell.
