PORTFOLIO DIVERSIFICATION

Many investment experts believe that adding precious metals to your portfolio may improve its performance.  That’s because the forces that determine metal’s price usually differ from, and in many cases counter, the forces that determine the price of many financial assets.  Investment advisors often suggest that this relationship may help to reduce portfolio volatility. American Eagle Bullion Coins are the easy, convenient and affordable way to add precious metals to your portfolio.

Historically, silver has been the most affordable precious metal.  Gold offers the same diversification attributes, but is available in four denominations of higher value.  The diverse values act as building blocks for precious metals investment.  They increase your portfolio’s diversity by bringing balance, because their value often moves independently of stocks and bonds.  In this fast-paced world of electronic investing, American Eagles are tangible investments whose beauty and artistry you can literally hold in the palm of your hand. 
 

EASY TO BUY AND SELL  = LIQUIDITY

One measure of an investment is liquidity:  how easily can it be converted to cash?  American Eagles, with their unique U.S. Government backing, can be sold for cash at most coin and precious metals dealers worldwide.  They’re also legal tender.  Their face value is largely symbolic, because precious metal’s market price – which is reported in the market pages and web sites of major news outlets – has historically been higher.

Buying American Eagles from PFG is easy.  We sell at the market’s prevailing market price, plus a small premium to cover coinage and distribution costs.  Because silver is typically the lowest-priced precious metal, Silver Eagles are affordable for nearly every investor.  As an alternative, Gold Eagles are available in four convenient denominations of higher value.
 

BACKED BY PFG – GUARANTEED BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

American Eagle Bullion Coins are America’s only official investment-grade bullion coins. They’re the world’s only bullion coins whose weight, content and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government.  So like the dollar, American Eagles are welcome in major investment markets worldwide.  You can even include them in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

THE UNIQUELY AMERICAN INVESTMENT
AN INVESTMENT GIFT THEY CAN HOLD
IN THEIR HAND

For holidays, baby gifts, graduations, weddings, employee or client appreciation, there are few gifts as unique as American Eagle Bullion Coins.

For these special occasions and more, you can give a unique and timeless investment gift of  an American Eagle.  They are beautiful enough to display with pride, enjoying ultimate liquidity, and grow in value as the price of precious metal grows.  Guaranteed by the U.S. Government for weight and content, they can be bought or sold instantly, anywhere in the world.

American Eagles come in sizes to fit every occasion and budget.  The American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin is available in an affordable one ounce size.  Gold American Eagles are available in one ounce, ½, ¼ and 1/10 ounce sizes.


The Silver Eagle was authorized by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986.  Silver Eagles are .999 fine silver, the finest silver coins ever issued by the United States.  Each coin contains a full troy ounce of silver.  Often considered one of the most beautiful coins ever minted, the Silver Eagle’s design is based on A.A. Weinman’s “Walking Liberty,” introduced on the 1917 silver half-dollar.  An eagle and shield, displaying American strength and pride, backs this moving scene of freedom.

Authorized by Congress in 1985 and first minted in 1986, American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins are minted according to the durable, 22-karat standard established for circulating gold coinage 350 years ago. Each coin contains its full, stated weight of pure gold, which by law, must be taken from newly mined sources in America. Gold Eagles are rich in history, too. The obverse is based on world-renowned American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ design for the prized 1907 $20 gold coin.  The reverse pictures a family of eagles, symbolizing family tradition and unity.
