The 2008 $5 Gold Eagle Coin Commemorates The Spirit Of Freedom That Makes America Great!
Who doesn’t recognize the bald eagle as the powerful symbol for democracy? At the Second Continental Congress in 1782, our Founding Fathers wisely chose the bald eagle, which is unique to North America, for the Great Seal of the United States. From that moment on, this regal bird became the national symbol of our American values of courage, strength and freedom. The bald eagle also appears on the seals of many departments and branches of our United States government. Then the unthinkable happened, the bald eagle was threatened with the possibility of extinction, in the lower 48 states and was classified as an endangered species in 1973. Through a number of successful recovery efforts, the bald eagle was able to be removed from the Endangered Species List in 2007. However, they are not out of the woods yet and will need to be monitored for many years.
In recognition of the importance of the eagle as our national symbol, to honor the 35th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and to celebrate the bald eagle’s return from extinction, Congress unanimously passed The American Bald Eagle Recovery and National Emblem Commemorative Coin Act. Thus the stunning 2008 $5 gold eagle coin was created. The obverse of the bald gold eagle coin was designed by Susan Gamble, who is a Master Designer of the Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) and sculpted by the United States Mint Medallic Sculptor, Phebe Hemphill. The design features two young eaglets, one with its wings spread, perched on a branch, within their natural habitat.
The sculptor for the reverse of this spectacular gold eagle coin was Don Everhart, the United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver. On the reverse is the illustration of the current Great Seal of the United States, as it was engraved in 1903. This awe-inspiring coin was limited to a maximum authorized mintage of only 100,000, which makes it difficult to find. The $5 gold eagle coin is struck in .900 fine gold, with a diameter of 21.59mm and an exemplary grade of MS70. This remarkable 2008 $5 Gold Bald Eagle commemorative coin, whose vibrant, amazing design represents how the eagle is thoroughly ingrained in every aspect of our nation’s commerce and culture and government and would make a wonderful historic addition to any collection!
The Magnificent 1943 Mexico Fifty Pesos…One Of The World’s Rare Mexican Gold Coins!
The Mexico 50 Pesos (also known as the Centenario, Gold 50 Peso, 50 peso gold coin and Mexican 50 pesos gold coin) was one of the few, large world bullion coins, prior to the introduction of the Krugerrand in 1967. The 50 Pesos coin was first produced in 1921 to commemorate the Centennial of Mexico’s Independence from Spain, which was achieved under General Agustin de Iturbide. The minting of the impressive 50 Pesos gold coin was suspended after 1931, resuming in 1943 and continuing through 1947. Twenty percent larger than the 1-ounce American Gold Eagle, these beautiful Mexican gold coins are composed of 90% fine gold alloyed with 10% copper for durability.
On the obverse of these striking 50 Pesos Mexican gold coins, is the portrait of the stunning Winged Victory, or El Angel, standing in front of two legendary Mexican volcanoes, Iztacchuatl (the sleeping lady or white lady) and Popocateptl (the smoking mountain). In Aztec legend, the volcanoes represent two lovers, a warrior and a princess, who both died of grief pining for each other and were turned into volcanoes. Held in the captivating angel’s left hand is a broken chain, symbolizing freedom and a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory, in her right hand.
On the right side of these gorgeous Mexican gold coins is the date of issue, which is below the gold content “37.5 Gr. ORO PORO”. The left side of the coin bears the date “1821”, representing the year Mexico gained independence and above it is the face value “50 PESOS”. The 1943 50 Pesos rare gold coin has one design difference. The gold content, instead of only appearing at the right of Winged Victory, appears on both sides and the denomination is omitted. Some believe that this is an error, while others feel this difference is due to the uncertainty of the currency and for bullion purposes. This is the only year with this particular design change and to further make this graded MS65, 1943 gold coin unique, rare and scarce; it has a mintage of only 89,000 coins!
The reverse side of the 50 Pesos gold coin features the Golden Eagle, Aquila Chrysaetos, perched majestically on a cactus, with a snake in its beak, which is Mexico’s national emblem. There is another account of Aztec lore, concerning locating the eagle as pictured on the coin and the settlement of what is now Mexico City, home of Casa de Moneda, where these coins were minted. The legend “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS” is in an arc above the eagle. Mexican coins have been elevated to the “hot”, must-have items with gold investors and collectors and the 50 Pesos gold coin is the most coveted of all. What a prize of the rare Mexican gold coins that are available on the market today, this spectacular and exquisitely designed 1943 Mexico 50 Pesos gold coin would be to your collection!
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf – Worth Its Weight In Gold!
Filed under: Canadian Gold Coins, Gold Coins, Gold Maple Leaf
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins are the world’s top selling 24-karat gold bullion coins. They come in five sizes: 1 ounce, ½ ounce, ¼ ounce, 1/10 ounce and 1/20 ounce. The early Gold Maple Leaf coins, dated from 1979-1982, were minted of .999 fine gold, but since 1983, these extraordinary coins have been minted of .9999 fine gold. They are commonly called the three 9’s and the four 9’s Gold Maple Leafs and both types are 24-karat gold bullion coins. When first introduced in 1979, the Royal Canadian Mint made the Gold Maple Leafs of 24-karat gold to set them apart from the Krugerrands of South Africa, which monopolized the gold bullion coin market at the time.
Older United States gold coins were of 90% gold and 10% copper and the American Gold Eagle coins are 91.67% gold, or 22-karat, as are the Krugerrands. The only 24-karat gold coins produced by the U.S. Mint were commemorative coins, until the 99.99% Gold Buffaloes were issued in June 2006. In 2007, the Royal Canadian Mint stunned the coin world by issuing two variants of the one-ounce Gold Maple Leaf coin—a 220 pound 99.999% fine gold, one million dollar (Canadian) face value coin. That would be worth over two million dollars U.S. at that time! The other variant in 2007 was a new 99.999% one-ounce Gold Maple Leaf that had a face value of $200 (Canadian). This is the greatest face value of all one-ounce legal tender gold bullion coins.

Why American Eagle Gold Coins are Popular among Collectors
Gold coins are a favorite of coin collectors with an eye toward investment. Not only are golden coins lovely to behold, but they also have a value that is guaranteed, due to their precious metal content. The value of gold coins is usually higher than the value of their weight in gold bullion, making them a better investment than the gold market alone.
Many countries produce gold coins for collectors or for commemorative purposes. These coins oftentimes emphasize unique aspects of the country’s culture. Australia reveres its national animal with the Gold Kangaroo, for example, while China has a Gold Panda with a lovely design that changes every year. Canada’s coin features a powerful national symbol with the gold Maple Leaf coins, and South Africa mints the Krugerrand. One of the world’s best selling coins, the Krugerrand features the South African national animal, the Springbok. Taking its place as one of the most popular gold coins among investors and collectors, however, is the American Gold Eagle. The American Gold Eagle coins stand out among other bullion coins because of its lovely design, and because its value is backed by the full strength of the United States government.
