American Gold Eagle Proof $50 Bullion (1986-Date)
The United States Mint produces proof versions of American Gold Eagle Bullion coins for collectors. American Gold Eagle Proof Coins undergo a specialized minting process, which begins by manually feeding burnished coin blanks into presses fitted with special dies. The 22K coin is struck multiple times so the softly frosted, detailed images seem to float above a mirror-like field. After scrutiny by white gloved inspectors, each American Gold Eagle Proof Coin is sealed in a protective capsule and mounted in a satin-lined velvet presentation case with its own official Certificate of Authenticity. Since American Eagle Proof Coins are produced by the United States Mint, each coins content, weight and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government. Available in 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 oz.

American Gold Indian Head $2.50 "Quarter Eagle" (1908-1929)
The Gold Indian Head $2.50 coin represents a departure from all precedents in United States coinage. Its design features no raised edge, and the main devices and legends are incuse - sunk below the surface of the coin. Boston sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt was the designer. A pupil of the famous Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Pratt based his "standing eagle" motif on the reverse of his teacher's gold ten-dollar coin of 1907. Among the public, there was some concern that the recessed design of Pratt's quarter eagle would collect germs - an unfounded fear. The artistry of the design was condemned loudly by some numismatists. Few people were interested in saving the coin for their collections. The result is a series with relatively few examples surviving in higher grades. Any initial disfavor has mellowed with time; today Pratt's design is recognized as part of the early 20th-century renaissance of American coinage.

American Gold Indian Head $10 "Eagle" (1907-1933)
Augustus Saint Gaudens, considered by many the greatest of modern sculptors, introduced a new high standard of art in United States coins evidenced by his eagle and double eagle types of 1907. The obverse of the eagle shows the head of Liberty crowned with an Indian war bonnet while an impressively majestic eagle dominates the reverse side. A departure from older standards is found on the edge of the piece, where 46 raised stars (48 stars in 1912 and later) are arranged signifying the states of the Union, instead of there being a lettered or reeded edge.
Contains .4840 oz. of pure gold. PCGS and NGC not only certifies the grading of their coins, but also the authenticity. We highly recommend selecting certified Gold Indian coins from the top grading companies like PCGS and NGC.

American Gold Saint Gaudens $20 "Double Eagle" (1907 - 1933)

S.S. Central America Gold Nugget Set w/C.O.A. / DVD / & Special Edition Red Book
The SS Central America, often called the Ship of Gold, was a 280-foot (85 m) side-wheel steamer that operated between Central America and the eastern coast of the United States during the 1850s. She was originally named the SS George Law, after Mr. George Law of New York. The ship sank in a hurricane in September 1857, along with 400 passengers and crew and 30,000 pounds of gold, contributing to the Panic of 1857. 131 years later, the ship was located by the use of Bayesian search theory and a remotely operated vehicle operated by the Columbus-America Discovery Group of Ohio, that was sent down on 11 September 1987. Significant amounts of gold and artifacts were recovered and brought to the surface by another ROV built specifically for the recovery. Tommy Thompson led the group. The total value of the recovered gold was estimated at $100–150 million. A recovered gold ingot weighing 80 lb (36 kg) sold for a record $8 million and was recognized as the most valuable piece of currency in the world at that time. You can now own a piece of this historic treasure, .5 grams of the actual gold nuggets recovered from the ocean's floor, certified by PCGS, along with a numbered certificate of its authenticity, a History channel DVD depicting the story, and a special edition Red Book embossed with the ship's name and picture.
