Description
When people talk about “buying gold,” this is usually the coin they mean. The American Gold Eagle carries a government guarantee that a bar or a foreign coin simply doesn’t — Washington vouches for the weight and purity stamped on its face, which means custodians, dealers, and buyers everywhere accept it without question. That liquidity matters if the plan is ever to sell in a hurry, and it’s why so many self-directed Gold IRAs are built around this coin first. In a world where a dollar buys a little less every year the government keeps the printing presses running, a metal Washington can’t create more of on a whim has obvious appeal.
