The American Eagle Standard
American Heritage. Global Liquidity.
The Gold American Eagle was first struck by the United States Mint in 1986 under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 — the first US gold coin in over fifty years to be available for private ownership. From day one, it was designed with a specific goal: to give American investors a government-backed gold coin that met international bullion standards while carrying the weight of US Mint authority.
Each coin features the iconic Walking Liberty design on the obverse — one of the most celebrated images in American numismatic history, originally designed by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman in 1916. The reverse shows a family of eagles, symbolising strength and unity. Beyond aesthetics, the Eagle is one of the most heavily traded bullion coins in the world, with deep secondary market liquidity in every major gold market.
Unlike the Canadian Maple Leaf’s 24-carat pure gold standard, the American Eagle is struck in 22-carat gold — 91.67% pure, alloyed with silver and copper. This triple alloy makes it significantly more durable and scratch-resistant than pure gold alternatives. At Unique Jewelry Now, we apply the correct valuation methodology for the Eagle’s specific composition: you are paid for the full troy ounce of gold content, not the total coin weight.

We buy both new and circulated Gold American Eagles. Condition does not affect the bullion payout for standard coins. A circulated 1oz Eagle contains exactly the same 31.103g of gold as a pristine one and we pay for the gold, not the grade. Mixed year lots, uncirculated, and bullion-strike Eagles are all purchased at the same live rate.

How Your Price Is Calculated
Precise Valuation. Zero Estimates.
When your Gold American Eagles arrive at our London Valuation Centre, they are handled by specialists who understand the specific valuation methodology for 22-carat US Mint bullion. Not generalists. Not a pawnbroker. A team who knows that an American Eagle contains 31.103 grams of pure gold not 33.93g and calculates your offer accordingly.
Our valuation is built on three inputs. First, XRF purity testing confirms the 916.7‰ gold composition. Second, precision scales measure the total coin weight to the milligram. Third, we apply the LBMA morning gold spot price from the day of receipt — the same benchmark used by banks and central banks worldwide. The result is a fair, fact-based offer with a full breakdown you can verify.

What You Need to Know
Clear answers to the most common questions about selling Gold American Eagle coins with Unique Jewelry Now.
Your offer is based on two measurable inputs: the gold content of your coins and the live daily gold rate from the LBMA. A 1oz American Eagle contains 31.103 grams of pure gold (22ct, 916.7‰). We multiply that gold content by the LBMA morning spot price on the day we receive your coins. We apply XRF testing to confirm the 22-carat composition and calibrated scales to verify weight. The result is a precise, fact-based offer not an estimate. We provide a full breakdown showing every input used to calculate your payout.
Yes — for standard bullion-strike American Eagles, condition does not affect the payout. A circulated 1oz Eagle with light scratches contains exactly the same 31.103 grams of 22-carat gold as a pristine uncirculated one. We value the metal, not the grade. The only exception is proof and collector-edition Eagles in exceptional condition, which can carry a numismatic premium. We assess both factors for every coin and explain the breakdown clearly before you decide.
Yes fully. Every pack travels via Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes end-to-end tracking and insurance coverage for the full declared value of the contents. Your coins are insured from the moment you hand the envelope to the Post Office counter until it is signed for and received at our London Valuation Centre. In the unlikely event of any transit issue (which has never occurred in our 10,000+ postal transactions), your Eagles are covered for their complete declared value and we manage the entire claims process on your behalf.
The key difference is purity: the Canadian Maple Leaf is .9999 fine (24ct), while the American Eagle is .9167 fine (22ct). In terms of pure gold content, a 1oz Eagle contains 31.103g of pure gold versus 31.104g in a Maple Leaf — almost identical. However, the Eagle is heavier overall (33.93g total) because of its silver-and-copper alloy. At Unique Jewelry Now, we apply the correct calculation for each coin type — you are paid for the actual gold content of your Eagle, not the total weight, ensuring a fair and accurate valuation regardless of which coin you hold.
Yes, and we assess them separately from bullion-strike coins. Proof American Eagles — with their mirror-polished fields and frosted relief — are produced in limited numbers and command a numismatic premium above raw bullion value, particularly first-year 1986 proofs and low-mintage special issues. Our valuers review every proof Eagle for collector premium. If yours qualifies, the premium is added to your offer automatically. Include original packaging and certificates if you have them these can significantly increase the final offer.
Send everything in one pack. We assess each coin individually by denomination and composition, then combine them into a single total offer with a full per-coin breakdown. Mixed lots are welcome — 1oz and 1/10oz Eagles in the same pack are assessed and combined without any penalty or additional processing time. For very large lots (10+ coins or high-value collections), call us first at 501-859-1282 to ensure appropriate insurance coverage is arranged for the total declared value.
From requesting your pack to cash in your bank typically takes 3–5 business days: Day 1 you request the pack; Days 2–3 your pack arrives via First Class; Day 3–4 you post your Eagles via Special Delivery; Day 4–5 we receive them, assess same day, you receive the offer. Accept the offer and payment lands the same day or the next business morning. Your total active time is roughly 10 minutes the rest is transit and assessment by our team.
Your Gold American Eagles are returned to you fully insured via Royal Mail Special Delivery within 24 hours of your decision — at zero cost to you. No admin fee, no return postage charge, no pressure to reconsider. We understand that market conditions change, that you may want additional quotes, or that you simply changed your mind. Your coins come back safely and promptly, and the matter is closed. There is no obligation at any stage of this process.
Yes. In addition to American Eagles, we purchase Gold American Buffalos (.9999 fine, 24ct), Pre-1933 US gold coins (Double Eagles, Eagles, Half Eagles, Quarter Eagles), and other US Mint bullion products. Include them in the same pack as your Eagles — each is assessed individually with the correct valuation method applied. Pre-1933 coins with numismatic significance are assessed for collector premium above bullion spot. Call us if you have US gold coinage you’re unsure about and we’ll guide you through the best approach.
Yes. If you have a legitimate written offer from a regulated gold buyer or bullion dealer, share it with us and we will beat it. Our pricing is rooted in live LBMA data and professional XRF-verified assessment not arbitrary in-house rates. We are confident enough in our valuation methodology to offer a price-beat guarantee because our numbers are based on fact. Bring us any competitive quote before you commit elsewhere.
