In 1986 and 1987, when the Gold American Eagle coins were first released, demand for these coins were very strong. Sadly, the following nine years saw mixed demand for the Gold Eagles, with no year coming even close to the demand of those first two years. Then came the years leading up to Y2K, and concerns regarding what effect Y2K was going to have on the global financial world. This concern pushed people toward the comfort of metals. The four years of 1997 through 2000 saw the demand for Gold Eagle coins surge, which included their all-time high in 1999. However, after 2000, demand again cooled off for a bit until the Great Recession, beginning in 2008. Since 2008, the demand for Gold Eagles has continued at the Great Recession higher levels. Currently, Silver.com has a 2010 1/2 oz Gold American Eagle coin available for purchase.

President Theodore Roosevelt had grown tired of the artistic blandness of the US coinage and wanted it upgraded. In 1904, President Roosevelt obtained the services of the talented Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who was one of the first Americans to study sculpture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Saint-Gaudens was tasked with creating a design that would return beauty to our US coins. This resulting Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty design appeared on the Eagle ($10) and the Double Eagle ($20) gold coins. It is a version of that Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty that now appears on the Gold American Eagle coins.

The obverse of the 2010 Gold American Eagle features Saint-Gaudens’ Lady Liberty, appearing to walk right off the coin to you. Her long hair flowing in the breeze, her right arm outstretched, holding a torch and her left hand carrying an olive branch.

The reverse of the 2010 Gold American Eagle coin features a family of eagles, to symbolize the importance of family in America. This design is the creation of Miley Busiek and was sculpted by Sherl J. Winter. It includes several inscriptions as well.

In 2010, the price of gold continued its upward trend, making it the eleven consecutive year of the price of gold closing higher than the previous year. The price of gold started the year at $1,121.50 per ounce, however, it gradually trended downward to a low of $1,050.00. At that point, the price of gold started to turn around, and throughout the balance of 2010, it experienced several ups and downs before rising to its 2010 peak price of $1,421.00 per ounce. Another small price slide at year-end had the price of gold closing at $1,405.50 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.

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.
