2008 American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins
 Authorized
by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986, American Eagle Gold
Bullion Coins are minted according to the durable, 22-karat standard established
for circulating gold coinage 350 years ago.
Each coin contains its full, stated weight of pure gold, which by law,
must be taken from newly mined sources in America.
The balance consists of silver and copper, added to increase the coin’s
durability to help resist scratching and marring, which can adversely affect a
bullion coins’ resale value.
Gold Eagles are rich in history, too.
The obverse is based on world-renowned American sculptor Augustus
Saint-Gaudens’ design prized 1907 $20 gold coin.
The reverse pictures a family of eagles, symbolizing family tradition and
unity.
Government Guarantee
American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins Are America’s only official investment-grade
gold bullion coins. They’re the world’s only gold bullion coins whose weight,
content and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government.
So like the dollar, American Eagles are welcome in major investment
markets worldwide. You can even
include them in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
Portfolio
Diversification
Many investment experts believe that adding gold to your portfolio may improve
its performance.
That’s because the forces that determine gold’s price usually differ
from, and in many cases counter, the forces that determine the price of many
financial assets.
Investment advisors often suggest that this relationship may help to
reduce portfolio volatility.
Gold Eagles are the easy, convenient and affordable way to add gold to
your portfolio.
Easy To By And
Sell
One measure of an investment is liquidity: How
easily can it be converted to cash?
Gold Eagles, with their unique U. S. Government backing, can be sold for
cash at most coin and precious metals dealers worldwide.
They’re also legal tender.
Their face values are largely symbolic, because gold’s market price – which is
reported in the market pages and Web sites of major newspapers – has
historically been higher.
Buy Gold Eagles at major coin and precious metals dealers, as well as man
brokerage houses and participating banks.
They sell at gold’s prevailing market price, plums a small premium to cover
coinage and distribution costs.
