Are you interested in collecting gold as a hobby or investment? Well many are—after all, gold is not called the most precious metal of all for nothing.  You can store gold bars for future security. Collect gold coins for entertainment. Or add gold nugget to your collection—even use it to make gold jewelry.

All gold, including gold bars, gold coins and gold nuggets, have value based on the market price of bullion, plus a small premium to cover coinage and distribution.

If you are thinking of buying gold bars, here are a few tips. If you want something with lasting value, gold bars are a great choice and an exciting way to invest in precious metal. Eagle National Mint is proud to offer some of the finest gold bars.

Gold bars have long been a wise choice for any fan of bullion. At one time the use of gold was restricted to the use of currency and coinage, but later paper money became a document that could be exchanged for bullion or gold coins, the American Gold Eagle.

In fact, of all gold, my favorite gold coin is the American Gold Eagle, which has become one of the world's leading investment coins after being authorized by the Bullion Coin Act of 1985. Gold Eagle gold coins use the durable 22-karat standard established for gold circulating coinage over 350 years ago. The obverse (front) design of the Gold Eagle is inspired by what's often considered one of America's most beautiful coins:  Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated $20 gold piece, minted from 1907-1933.  The reverse design, features a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings. 

Produced from gold mined in the United States, Gold Eagle Bullion are imprinted with their gold content and legal tender "face" value.
