The Gold American Eagle coin is the official gold bullion coin of the United States. They were first available in 1986 in bullion, proof, and burnished versions. The Gold Eagles are guaranteed by the US government to contain the declared amount of actual gold weight in troy ounces, and this gold must come from sources within the US. When it looked like the price of gold would continue to increase in 2003, the US Mint increased their production of all 4 denominations of the 2003 Gold American Eagle coins. The 1/2 oz Gold Eagles did see the smallest increase over 2002 mintage numbers, increasing from 70,027 in 2002 to 79,029 in 2003. Right now, Silver.com has the 2003 1/2 oz Gold American Eagle coin available for purchase.

Coin Highlights:

  • Arrives in a protective plastic flip!
  • From the 18th year of the Gold American Eagle coin series!
  • Consists of One Half Troy ounce of actual gold content.
  • The obverse features Lady Liberty.
  • The reverse features a family of eagles.
  • Has a face value of $25 (USD) fully backed by the government of the United States.

The Gold American Eagle obverse depicts a full-length figure of Lady Liberty walking directly towards you. Her hair is flowing in the breeze, she is carrying a torch in her outstretched right hand and an olive branch in her left hand. At the bottom of the coin, to the left of her right foot is a depiction of the Capitol building. This Lady Liberty design is the creation of Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

The Gold American Eagle reverse depicts a male eagle, carrying an olive branch, flying towards a nest with a female eagle and a couple of eaglets. This design was created by Miley Busiek and sculpted by Sherl J. Winter, and is said to embody the importance of unity and family tradition in America. It includes several inscriptions as well.

In the early 1900’s, President Theodore Roosevelt was deeply dissatisfied with the status of US coins. He chose Irish-born Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the nation’s coinage. Saint-Gaudens designed the double eagle coin in the mid-1900’s, which is still considered to be one of the most beautiful American coins ever issued. It is the obverse design from this coin that is used as the obverse on the Gold American Eagle gold bullion coins that were authorized by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985.

In the early 2000’s, the price of gold began to climb. In 2002, it eclipsed the $300 per ounce mark. Then in 2003, it crossed the $400 per ounce mark. While early in 2003, gold’s price per ounce dipped below the $400 mark, it rallied to finish off the year at $416.25 per ounce. This was an increase of more than 21% over the 2002 closing price.

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.

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.
