The American Gold Eagle is the U.S.' official gold bullion coin. It was approved by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 and first given by the U. S. Mint in 1986. Purchasing gold eagles for sale is considered the most flexible form of physical gold investment. As a result, American Eagle coins are an excellent inflation hedge.
