UNITED STATES BULLIONFrom ancient times into the later years of the 20th century, coins have beenrepresentative of their precious metal content. Beginning with U.S. gold coinsin 1933, this tradition ended. Later, in 1965, with the advent of clad coins,90% silver coins disappeared, too. It was not until 1974 that it became legalto own gold again, which helped shape collecting today.Nowadays, no country issues gold and silver coins for circulation, butmany of the world’s leading nations, including the United States, issuebullion coins. In the fall of 1986, the United States Mint released the firstgold American Eagles, followed by silver American Eagles in December. Justover a decade later in 1997, the U.S. Mint released the first platinum Eagles.And in 2006, the first 99.99% pure gold coins to be struck by the U.S. Mintwere released. These $50 gold Buffalo coins displayed a design reminiscentof James Earle Fraser’s beloved Buffalo nickel. In 2010, the U.S. Mint alsobegan issuing large, 3-inch diameter collector versions of the National Parkquarters, struck in 5 ounces of 99.9% pure silver.SILVER AMERICAN EAGLE1986-DATEComposition: 99.93% silverWeight: 31.101 gramsDiameter: 40.6 mmMints: Philadelphia, San Francisco, West PointGOLD AMERICAN EAGLE1986-DATEComposition: 91.67% goldMints: Philadelphia, West PointTenth-Ounce Gold $5 Weight: 3.393 grams Diameter: 16.5 mmQuarter-Ounce Gold $10 Weight: 8.483 grams Diameter: 22 mmHalf-Ounce Gold $25 Weight: 16.966 grams Diameter: 27 mmOne-Ounce Gold $50 Weight: 33.931 grams Diameter: 32.7 mmPLATINUM AMERICAN EAGLE1997-DATEComposition: 99.95% platinumMints: Philadelphia, West PointTenth-Ounce Platinum $10 Weight: 0.10005 oz.
