The 2025 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle (MintDirect® Single) is part of the globally recognized American Gold Eagle bullion series, produced by the United States Mint since 1986. Each coin contains 1/4 troy ounce of pure gold and is struck in a 22-karat alloy (.9167 fine) that includes small amounts of silver and copper to increase durability.
This fractional gold coin carries a $10 face value, and its gold weight and purity are guaranteed by the United States government. The coin has a total weight of approximately 8.48 grams due to its alloy composition while still containing the full quarter-ounce of gold.
The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, originally introduced on the historic 1907 $20 Double Eagle coin. Liberty is depicted striding forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other, symbolizing enlightenment and peace.
The reverse displays the modern bald eagle portrait designed by Jennie Norris, introduced in 2021 as the Type-2 reverse for American Gold Eagles. The detailed close-up of the eagle emphasizes strength, pride, and national heritage.
The MintDirect® Single packaging ensures the coin is sealed in tamper-evident packaging without additional handling or cherry-picking after leaving the mint. This process helps maintain the coin’s original condition and provides confidence that the coin remains exactly as received from the U.S. Mint distribution chain.
With its fractional gold size, secure MintDirect® packaging, and iconic American design, the 2025 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle (MintDirect® Single) is an excellent option for both precious-metal investors and collectors seeking authentic U.S. Mint gold bullion.
