President Theodore Roosevelt felt that US coinage had become artistically drab and he had an overwhelming desire to see it transformed to exhibit beauty once again. In 1904, President Roosevelt inquired about the possibility of retaining the talents of someone such as Augustus Saint-Gaudens to instill beauty back into our coinage. Saint-Gaudens accepted the invitation, and created designs that ended up on the Eagle ($10) and the Double Eagle ($20) gold coins. It is a version of Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty that now appears on the Gold Eagle. Currently, Silver.com has the 2004 1/2 oz Gold American Eagle coin, with Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty, available for purchase.

Coin Highlights:

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

The obverse of the 2004 Gold American Eagle coin depicts a full length figure of Lady Liberty walking directly at you. Her hair is flowing behind her, and she is carrying a torch in her extended right hand and an olive branch in her left hand. This Lady Liberty design is a version of the Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ design that was requested by President Theodore Roosevelt.

The reverse of the 2004 Gold American Eagle coin depicts a male eagle, carrying an olive branch, flying above 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 illustrate the unity and family tradition of America.

Since the fears of what havoc might be wrecked upon the world by Y2K were in the past, the annual minting of the Gold American Eagle coins – of all denominations – experienced a drastic drop in production following 1999’s historic numbers. However, 2002 through 2004 saw the US Mint increasing their production numbers in small amounts each year, leading to a temporary peak in 2004. This year saw the highest number of 1/2 oz Gold Eagles minted since 1999, at 98,040.

The price of gold also began to climb. In 2002, it surpassed the $300 per ounce mark. In 2003, it crossed the $400 per ounce mark. And while early in 2004, gold’s price per ounce dipped below $400, it rallied to close out the year at $435.60 per ounce, almost $20 per ounce above where it started the year.

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 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.
