2006 $5 American Gold Eagle

Struck in .917 fine gold this is the only gold coin whose weight a purity is guaranteed by the US Government. In addition to that, the American Gold Eagle is the only gold coin that the IRS will allow an individual in an IRA. Designed by the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this masterpiece displays some of the most patriotic images shown on US currency. The Standing Liberty found on the “face” of the coin has stood the test of time for nearly a century. The reverse side features an American bald eagle carrying an olive branch, flying above a nest containing another eagle and her eaglets.
