<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 843257, member: 22143&quot;]You are not correct on the American Gold Eagle.&nbsp; This coin is struck from the American version of what is called &quot;crown gold&quot;.&nbsp; Basically it is 22 carat gold or .9167 gold.&nbsp; The remaining parts are 0533 copper and 0.300 silver.&nbsp; &nbsp; The coin still has the stated amount of gold which is why it weighs more than 1 troy oz.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This was the traditional alloy of gold used for coinage to make the gold hard enough to be used for circulating gold colns. (pre 1837)&nbsp;&nbsp; The only pure gold .9999 coin the US mint sells aside from the FS is the Buffalo which can be had in a bullion version.&nbsp; It has a bit of a premium on it over the AGE because in part, due to the higher production costs of making a pure gold coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
