20-Coin Tube of BU 2022 American Gold Eagles (Type 2)

The 2022 1 oz Gold American Eagle Bullion Coin from the United States Mint contains one full troy ounce of pure gold, which by law, is taken from newly mined sources in the United States. The balance of the coin’s composition consists of silver and copper, added to increase the coin’s durability and to help resist scratching and marring. Authorized by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986, American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins are minted according to the durable, 22-karat standard for circulating gold coinage.

Security Feature
An anti-counterfeiting protection has been incorporated into the reeded edge of this bullion coin! On the bottom edge of the obverse (top edge of reverse) for Type 2 coins only, there is now a flattened spot, or “missing reed” which indicates an authentic U.S. Mint product.

Design
The classic obverse design on the American Gold Eagle bullion coin features a rendition of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ full length figure of Lady Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the Capitol building in the background. This design is taken from the Pre-1933 $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin which was commissioned by Theodore Roosevelt to create coins like ancient Greek and Roman coins. The reverse design newly released midyear 2022 features AIP designer Jennie Norris’ portrait of an eagle that was sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Renata Gordon.

American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins are one of the United States’ only official investment grade gold bullion coins. Their weight, content and purity are guaranteed by the U.S. government and are eligible for inclusion in a Precious Metals Individual Retirement Account (IRA). American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins, with their unique U.S. government backing, may be sold for cash at many coin and precious metals dealers worldwide. They are also technically legal tender, although their face value of $50 is merely symbolic, because gold’s market price has historically been higher.
