American eagle gold coin weight and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government.
Unlike the Canadian maple leaf, which has a very high gold purity, the American Eagle contains an additional alloy of silver and copper to produce a more wear-resistant coin of 91.67% gold (22-Karat), 3% silver, and 5.33% copper.
The American gold eagle is an official gold bullion coin of the United States. Authorized under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, it was first released by the United States Mint in 1986.
American eagle gold coins normally sell at a premium compared to gold Maple Leaf coins.
