The 2019 1 oz American Gold Eagle (MintDirect® Premier Single) is a premier gold bullion coin struck by the United States Mint. Each coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is minted in durable 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for enhanced strength while maintaining full gold content.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful motifs in American coinage. The reverse displays the original family-of-eagles design by Miley Busiek, depicting a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings.
This coin is offered in MintDirect® Premier (MD® Premier) packaging, meaning it remains sealed in its original U.S. Mint-issued packaging before being placed into tamper-evident protection. The MintDirect® Premier process preserves the coin’s chain of custody and helps ensure authenticity and original mint condition.
As the official gold bullion coin of the United States, the American Gold Eagle carries a $50 face value and is backed by the U.S. government for weight and purity. It is also IRA-eligible, making it suitable for precious metals retirement accounts.
