    Created by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985, which authorized the Gold Eagles, the American Gold Eagle is an official gold bullion coin of the US. The Act stipulates that the gold in these coins must come from sources within the US, and is guaranteed by the government to contain the stated amount of actual gold weight in troy ounces. The Gold Eagles are available in bullion, proof, and burnished coin. The bullion Gold Eagles, from the beginning, have been available in 4 weights – 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz. In 2005, the 1/4 oz mintage basically remained the same from 2004. JM Bullion has the 2005 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Coin available for purchase right now.

    Coin Highlights:

    • Arrives in a protective plastic flip!
    • 20th year of the American Gold Eagle coin series!
    • Contains 1/4 Troy oz of actual gold content.
    • Obverse features Lady Liberty.
    • Reverse features a family of eagles.
    • Bears a face value of $10 (USD) fully backed by the American government.

    American Gold Eagle coins are struck with a composition of 91.67% gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper. Their weight, content, and purity are guaranteed by the government. Since first introduced in 1986, the most popular Gold Eagles have always been the 1 oz and the 1/10 oz coins. In 2005, the 1/4 oz Gold Eagles had the lowest mintage of the 4 weights, at 72,015.

    In 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt selectively picked Irish-born Augustus Saint-Gaudens to create a design that would revitalize US coinage. Saint-Gaudens created the Lady Liberty design initially for the $20 Gold Double Eagles, which were minted from 1907 to 1933. A version of that Lady Liberty design was then selected to appear on the American Gold Eagle coins.

    The obverse of the American Gold Eagle features a full-length figure of Lady Liberty. She is directly facing you, her hair flowing behind her. She is carrying a torch in her outstretched right hand and she is holding an olive branch in her left hand. In the background, near her right foot, is the Capitol building. Fifty stars circle the outer rim of the coin. This design was created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

    The reverse of the American Gold Eagle features an eagle family. The male eagle, clutching olive branches in his claws, is flying towards his nest, with the family waiting. Bald eagles symbolize beauty, strength, and independence. The design was created by Miley Busiek and sculpted by Sherl J. Winter. Several inscriptions are included as well.

    In 2005, the price per ounce of gold rose for the fifth consecutive year, even surpassing the $500 per ounce mark, which it had not done since 1987. After starting 2005 at $435.60 per ounce, gold ended the year at $513.00 per ounce, an increase of over 17%.

Should anything happen while your package is in transit to you, it will be covered by our insurance policy subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 13 of our Terms and Conditions.

    We recommend you refuse any shipment that appears to be damaged or tampered with as the shipping insurance ends once signed for and/or delivered. When refused, the package(s) will return to JM Bullion for inspection. If you have taken possession of a damaged or tampered package, please save all packaging and contact JM Bullion at1-800-276-6508 within 48 hours for further instructions. Failure to notify us of damage or tampering within 48 hours fromsignatureor delivery date may impact our ability to cover your claim.

    When will I receive my order?+

    When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

    1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
      • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
    2. Holding period after cleared payment.
      • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
    3. Shipping method and transit time.
      • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
      • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.
    What happens if my order is lost in transit?+

    All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

    Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.

If you pay with paper check, bank wire, ACH, Ethereum, Ripple, or bitcoin, you may have your order shipped wherever you please, with two exceptionsUPS locations and mail forwarding locations.

    If my order includes an item on presale, will the in-stock items ship first?+

    Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.

    Do you ship to US territories?+

    All orders will ship from our warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. We mask our return address on all packages as to not give away the contents of the package.
