America’s official gold bullion coin is the Gold American Eagle. Introduced in 1986, these iconic coins are similar to other American Eagle Series coins in that they feature Lady Liberty on one side and the American bald eagle on the other. Today, the 1996 1 oz Gold American Eagle Coin is available to you online at Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you in a protective capsule.
  • Eleventh release of the Gold American Eagle coin!
  • Mintage limited to 189,148 coins only!
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of actual gold content in BU condition.
  • Face value of $50 (USD) is fully backed by the US government.
  • Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty design is on the obverse.
  • Miley Busiek’s bald eagle family on the reverse.

The 1996 issue of Gold American Eagle coins may have marked the 10th anniversary, but that wasn’t the only monumental occurrence of the year. For starters, the mintage of just 189,148 coins in the 1 oz weight remains the lowest total ever for the Gold American Eagle’s flagship weight.

Additionally, after years of solid gains in mintage and popularity, the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle outsold the 1996 1 oz Gold American Eagle significantly in 1996. Its mintage came in at a staggering 401,964, nearly double its own mintage from 1995 and more than double the mintage of the 1996 1 oz Gold American Eagle.

All 1996 1 oz Gold American Eagle coins in this listing are in BU condition. Coins in this condition show no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice minor flaws ranging from breaks in the luster and spotted surfaces to contact marks from the production of the coins at the mint.

On the obverse of all 1996 1 oz Gold American Eagle Coins you’ll find the image of Liberty, with flowing hair and a flowing robe as she walks forward into an unknown future holding her bright torch as a guiding light. It was created in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and featured on the $20 Gold Double Eagle coin until 1933.

The reverse of all Gold American Eagle coins includes the design of a family of bald eagles in their nest. Created in 1986 by Miley Busiek, it features the image of a male eagle flying over the family nest, which contains a group of hatchlings that is guarded by a watchful female.

Gold prices in 1996 spent most of the year on the decline. After surging above $400 per ounce in January and February, gold slowly declined the remainder of the year to close at $369.25 per ounce.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

How can I contact you?

Please feel welcome to call us toll free at 1(888) 989-7223 or use our Live Chat feature during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. CST. Alternatively, you can email us at help@silver.com and expect a response within 1 business day.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
