About the American Gold Eagle
American Gold Eagle prices are sold at a premium that’s a bit higher than most other bullion gold from sovereign mints. Traditionally, the gap has not been great between Gold Eagles and prices on other coins like Gold Maples, but with the events of 2020 both material and labor shortages affected the US Mint severely. Couple that with record strong demand for gold and the Gold Eagle coin has seen higher premiums than the historic norm. Gold eagles are often preferred as they have favorable reporting requirements with the IRS when it’s time to sell. This may account for some of the additional premium over other bullion. Buying specific year Gold Eagles will result in a additional premium for a higher final price. Gold Eagles are one of the most collected gold coin series in the world.
