Description
The 2024 1/4 oz Gold American Eagle is a U.S. Mint-issued gold bullion coin containing 0.25 troy ounces of gold in a durable 22-karat alloy (91.67% gold, with silver and copper for strength). This Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coin is part of the iconic American Gold Eagle series, first introduced in 1986.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ historic image of Lady Liberty, while the reverse showcases Jennie Norris’s modern portrayal of a bald eagle’s head—symbolizing strength and freedom. Each coin carries a legal tender face value of $10 USD, though its true value is based on its gold content and market demand.
Compact, affordable, and widely recognized, the 1/4 oz Gold Eagle is ideal for investors seeking fractional gold with the backing of the U.S. government. It is IRA-eligible, easy to trade or store, and a great way to diversify with physical precious metals.
