Giving the gift of gold is a great way to start a conversation about honest money. Most Americans do not understand the dangers of fiat money and they certainly aren't prepared for the troubles ahead.
It is a stunning and iconic design, generally considered to be among the most beautiful of the coins minted by the US Mint.
Each coin carries a legal tender value of $5 U.S. dollars. Additionally, coins are marked with gold content - 1/10 oz fine gold. Every coin's weight and purity are assured by the US Mint.
The 1/10 ounce is the smallest size among the fractional Gold Eagles minted. Investors choose this dime-sized coin to diversify their gold holdings. Many believe smaller coins like these will command a significant premium should gold prices move much higher. The day may come when larger 1 oz gold coins are simply unaffordable for many people, raising demand for fractional sizes.
