The United States Mint's Gold Eagle coins are official gold bullion coins that were first introduced in 1986. The 10-dollar Gold Eagle, also known as the one-quarter ounce Gold Eagle, features the iconic design of Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the obverse and a family of eagles on the reverse. Gold Eagles are composed of 91.67% gold and are produced in various denominations, including the 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 oz versions. The 2009 Gold Eagles were minted in a limited quantity, making them particularly sought after by collectors and investors alike.
