About the American Gold Eagle
- 22 karat with a silver and copper alloy for durability.
- Face value 50 dollars, gold value many times higher.
- Minted in 1, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 ounce sizes.
The Gold Eagle is the best selling bullion coin in the United States, which makes premiums slightly higher in Europe than for locally common coins.
Like the Krugerrand it is 22 karat, so the coin weighs 33.93 grams and still contains one troy ounce of pure gold.
If you are buying purely for gold exposure in Sweden, compare the Eagle's premium against a Krugerrand or Maple Leaf before deciding.
Premium is the only thing you negotiate
The gold content is fixed, so the price of a Gold Eagle is the gold value plus a premium. Today the gold in the coin is worth 39,572 SEK; a dealer typically asks 4–8 % over spot and pays spot to spot +2 % when buying it back.
VAT and investment gold
Bullion coins minted after 1800, at least 900 fine and traded near their gold value are classed as investment gold and are exempt from VAT throughout the EU, including Sweden.
