History

Throughout history, the 1/4 oz Gold Eagle has maintained a lower mintage, making it a distinctive and sought-after piece for collectors. In its inaugural year of 1986, the 1/4 oz coin had a mintage of only 726,031, a fraction of the 1.36 million 1 oz coins produced. Even the smaller 1/10 oz coin consistently outpaced the 1/4 oz coin.

Recent years have seen an even wider gap in mintage figures. While the 1/10 oz coin has become the top choice in the series, the 1/4 oz Gold Eagle has seen significantly lower production numbers. In 2015 and 2016, the 1/4 oz Gold Eagles had mintage figures of 158,000 and 152,000, respectively.
