UniversalCoin.com Review: I took advantage of a great price on an American Gold Eagle that Universal Coin offered. It was about $44 cheaper than the online company I normally use. Unfortunately they limited it to one per household. I would have bought...
BOLD Precious Metals Review: Amazing prices, little improvement required on shipping side, but prices are good for all products, especially kilo and 100 oz silver bars. Ordered fractional gold eagle and maple leaf. Thanks for nice packing too.

American Eagle 1/2 oz Gold Coin - Random Year

As the largest fractional size American Gold Eagle coins, the 1/2 oz American Gold Eagles are a consistent top seller due to their price point. A stack of half ounce gold eagles provides all of the benefits and security of storing wealth in precious metals.

There have been several minor design changes over the life of the series. 

From 1986 until 1991, Roman Numerals were used for the year of minting date on the front of the coin. In 1992, the design was updated to use Arabic Numerals.

The type 2 reverse made its debut midway through 2021. With the design change occurring mid-year, coins featuring the type 1 design from this year were quickly sold out by the mint. Some of these coins may be included in some secondary market inventories.

These half ounce gold eagles show a stunningly detailed portrait on the reverse just like other coins in the series. 

The reverse of type 1 coins portrays an eagle flying to his nest. The family of eagles eagerly await his return.

Partway through 2021, the reverse design was introduced that shows only the head and face of a fierce and mighty eagle.

The reverse of both versions includes inscriptions United States of America, E Pluribus Unum (from many, one). It also features In God We Trust, weight (one-half oz fine gold) and legal tender face value ($25). 

The front of the coin features the acclaimed depiction of Lady Liberty that is inspired by the Augustus Saint-Gaudens $20 gold piece (1907-1933). A throwback reminder to when gold coins circulated in our economy as real money. before the government confiscated and seized gold in 1933.

The 1/2 ounce Gold Eagle coin is 27mm in diameter, and a total weight of 16.96 grams. This is a great size for easy recurring investing

It's one of the most popular coins out of the fractional American Gold Eagle series. Each contains a full half troy ounce of gold that is alloyed into a 22k coin.
