Frequently Asked Questions
What is the face value of a 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle?
The 1/4 oz Gold Eagle carries a $10 face value, though its actual market value is based on gold content and numismatic premiums. It's part of the four-coin Gold Eagle family that includes the 1 oz ($50), 1/2 oz ($25), and 1/10 oz ($5) denominations.
Who collects 1/4 oz gold coins?
Quarter-ounce Gold Eagles are popular with set builders assembling all four denominations, gift-givers looking for meaningful precious metals presents, and collectors seeking the best value — the premium jump from MS69 to MS70 is relatively modest at this size.
How are 1/4 oz gold coins graded by NGC and PCGS?
NGC and PCGS grade 1/4 oz coins on the same 70-point Sheldon scale used for all coins. A perfect MS70 or PF70 means zero imperfections under 5x magnification. Due to smaller surface area, achieving perfect grades can actually be more attainable at this size.
