Gold American Eagle Coin

Since 1986, America has been producing the gold American Eagle coin. The gold American Eagle coin has four different denominations coming in the 1/10 gold American Eagle coin, the 1/4 gold American Eagle coin, the 1/2 gold American Eagle coin and the 1 troy ounce gold American Eagle coin. The United States government for many years stayed away from producing gold coins as our monetary system was removed from the gold standard. But, as many other countries began doing after the resounding success of the South African Kruggerand gold coin as a collectible and investment coin, the American government moved back into producing gold coins in 1983 with it’s first release of the Los Angeles Olympics commemorative gold coins.

Prior to that, the last dated and official legal tender American gold coin came 50 years earlier in 1933. The gold American Eagle coin was met critcal acclaim from both numismatists and investors from around the world. The gold American Eagle coin has a legal tender value and can be used in the United States to purchase goods and services, although it’s highly suggested that you don’t do this as the gold content in each coin is far more valuable than the denomination of the coin itself. The 1/10 gold American Eagle coin has a denomination of five dollars, the 1/4 gold American Eagle coin has a denomination of ten dollars, the 1/2 gold American Eagle coin has a denomination of 25 dollars and the 1 troy ounce gold American Eagle coin has a denomination of 50 dollars.

Although the gold American Eagle coin is 1 troy ounce of gold, the coin itself weighs more than 1 troy ounce. The gold American Eagle coin weighs 33.933 grams and it’s percentage of gold is 91.67 percent, or 22 karat. The rest of the coin is comprised of copper and silver. The reason for adding the copper and silver is to add strength to the coin while helping to keep its brilliant yellow hue. Along with a large grouping of modern commemorative coins, the gold American Eagle coin has helped to bring rekindle America’s romance with the gold coins.

The staff are quick at work but not too quick to make you feel pressured into buying items or selling your items. They teach you about the items and tell you if they have use for your items or not. If they don’t have use for your items they call other places to see if they have a use for the items. Great staff!

While vacationing in Las Vegas I did what a lot of people do I’m sure or at least that’s what I’m telling my wife ..I blew through the money I brought a little quicker than expected and I ended up having to shop my Rolex around to several dealers to save the trip. So I looked online for places, most offers over the phone were low and that’s if they would even quote me in the first place. I spoke to a guy at Nevada Coin and Jewelry who gave me a fair ball park price and a reasonable explanation as to why his number couldn’t be solid. Went down expecting to get the lower number and in fact Robert their Rolex expert said my Rolex was a better model then I had described. He paid me a higher number than he quoted. Thanks for saving my vacation guys.

This dealer was beyond excellent in all respects! No low-ball games, no fooling around. These people are honest, and the transaction was handled smoothly with complete transparency. I will definitely recommend Nevada Coin & Jewelry to everybody I know!

They took the time to help me sell my item and find an item. The staff does not rush you or pressure you into buying something. They take you on a little adventure by telling you about the items you are selling and looking at…

I am a brazilian and had the chance to deal with Nevada Coin. I was there to sell some gold coins and they paid me the best price I could fetch in Las Vegas. They are professional, courteous and trustworthy. Before visiting their premises I got a tentative appraisal by phone which I found reasonable. In the shop the attendant offered to approach the manager to get me a (gasp) BETTER price. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother talking to their rude and unprofessional competitors. They will treat you like a moron and quote prices accordingly. For Nevada Coin, five Stars all the way.

What friendly staff. They help you sell your items even if they don’t have a use for it by calling other shops around the area to see if they could use it… They want you to have the best out come from selling your items. I was so happy I decided to go to them!

Grateful for the Nevada Coin and Jewelry shop, I just adore it. I took some collectable figurines in and they bought them. I came out smelling like a rose. You should’ve been there to see the big smile on my face. I ran all the way home to look for some more. Can’t wait to get back! I can sure use the money!

I brought them some gold pendants, rings and a few other pieces. I knew they weren’t worth that much but I needed the cash. The guys (and there are a lot of them) were really nice and not the least bit condescending. They know when you come in to sell there is a reason but they don’t make you feel bad or inadequate. The store is filled with interesting objects for sale and for show. A very nice and very fair place to buy and sell. I highly recommend them.

My friend and I came here to sell some coins and jewelry. We first saw Scott about some coins. He was very friendly and knew his stuff. Afterwards, he brought us over to Sheila who looked at our jewelry. She was also very nice and professional. We will definitely come back here again. GREAT PLACE!!!!

My Aunt recently passed and she lived in the outskirts of Las Vegas. While my sister and I went through her estate we found a number of items that neither of us considered keeping, but our aunt was clear in her will that she wanted us to use her things to make a profit and in turn use that money to help our futures. We shopped around, especially not being from the area, and got a lot of negative experiences just on the phone. People were rude, uninformative, and really just gave us a feeling they wanted to rip us off. It made us think of those dirty pawn shops you “hear about”. Finally I called Nevada Coin and Jewelry and the whole day shifted! We described a few pieces of jewelry and they helped us figure out initially a general value based on the metal. Of course, they did explain the importance of actually coming in and examining the pieces individually. That level of service over the phone got us through the door. When we went to the spot we were greeted with the same level courtesy, but the professionalism when going over each item and it’s value was through the roof! They took the time to explain why each item was worth what amount and even gave us a little bit of history on the styles. At the end of the day, my sister and I walked away with a sizable amount of money to put towards my son’s college fund and my sister’s vet school. Thanks, Nevada Coin and Jewelry!
