So it is worth what one ounce of gold is worth. Collectors refer to these as AGE or American Gold Eagles. The United States Mint produces these coins every year. The only difference is the year on the coin; the rest of the coin stays the same. The coin can be dated 1989, 2005, or any other year – you will always see the same features.
