Frequently asked questions
What size capsule fits the American Gold Eagle?
The American Gold Eagle comes in these sizes and matching capsules: 1 oz Gold Eagle and Gold Buffalo (32 mm); 1/4 oz American Eagle $10 Gold (22 mm); American Eagle $5 Gold, 1/10 oz (16.5 mm). Match the capsule’s inside diameter to your coin.
What is the best way to store a American Gold Eagle?
Gold Eagles are 22 carat and slightly larger than a pure-gold 1 oz coin of the same weight, so always store by diameter rather than weight. A PVC-free acrylic capsule, either direct fit or black ring, protects the coin from handling, dust and air.
Still measuring up? Try the capsule finder to match your coin in a couple of clicks, browse the coin size guide by diameter, or filter the full capsule range by size and holder type. Buy 20 of any capsule and a matching storage tube is added free.
