Specifications
The US Mint has issued the Gold Eagle since 1986. It weighs 33.93 g at 916.7/1000 (22 carat), contains 31.10 g of fine gold and has a face value of 50 US dollars.
Buying in Germany
Its specifications match the Krugerrand, and the alloy makes it durable. It is VAT-free investment gold in Germany, though less common here than in the US, so compare premiums across dealers. Gold is priced internationally in dollars: currently 4,141.80 USD per ounce.
Eagle or bar?
A 1 oz bar costs about 3,791.23 EUR. Divide the coin price by 31.10 g to compare the cost per gram with the fine gold price of 121.30 EUR.
Fractional Eagles
The US Mint also issues half, quarter and tenth ounce Eagles at the same fineness. They are less common in Germany and carry a higher premium per gram. If you want smaller units, historic coins such as the 20 Mark or Vreneli are often cheaper per gram of gold.
Ten coins currently cost about 38,469.59 EUR. Since the gold content equals a Krugerrand (3,810.15 EUR), compare the two directly.
