In the realm of bullion releases, the 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle coin has etched its place with one of the lowest mintage figures. Since the introduction of the Gold Eagle Series in 1986, the 1/2 oz and 1/4 oz coins have taken turns being the coins with the lowest mintage and high demand. Now, you can add the 2018 American Eagle 1/2 Gold Coins to your collection online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The inaugural release in 1986 saw the highest-ever mintage figure for the 1/2 oz Gold Eagle, with 599,566 coins sold by the US Mint. Demand sharply declined the following year to just 131,255 coins. Over the years, the 1/2 oz gold bullion coin surpassed the 100,000 coin threshold in mintage only three times.

This is my first gold coin and I?m very happy with this purchase. I highly recommend Provident. The shipping was fast and the packaging was secure. It would have been easier for me to buy a smaller coin, but I wouldn?t have been as satisfied. The 1/2 OZ size is large enough to be proud of since it is my first gold bullion and it didn?t break the bank like a 1oz. would have, although; Now I?m motivated to stay out of debt and save so I can buy a 1 OZ. Thank You Provident for selling such a fine product. In reality, Gold is not a purchase, it is a DEPOSIT. This one coin is worth way more than it?s gold value to me because it has changed my whole financial outlook for the good."
