The 2022 1 oz American Gold Eagle (MintDirect® 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 weight.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely considered one of the most beautiful motifs in American coinage. The reverse showcases the modern bald eagle portrait introduced in 2021, symbolizing strength and national pride.
This coin is offered in MintDirect® Single packaging, meaning it remains sealed in tamper-evident packaging after being sourced directly from U.S. Mint-issued tubes or Monster Boxes. The MintDirect® process preserves the original mint condition and provides additional investor confidence through protected chain of custody.
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.
