1999 American Gold Eagle 1/10 Oz $5 Gold Coin - This 1999 uncirculated American Eagle $5 coin was struck from 1/10 ounce of .9999 fine gold. Since its introduction, this classic and beloved design has been America's preferred bullion coin, and provides an aspect of collectability on top of Gold investment appeal. The obverse features Lady Liberty in front of the Capitol building holding in her right hand a fiery torch and an olive branch in her left, while the reverse shows a male bald eagle in flight carrying an olive branch to his nest, where a female awaits with her young. This would make a wonderful investment as gold can be a hedge against inflation as it typically appreciates with rising inflation.
