Gold American Eagle Monster Boxes come straight from the U.S. Mint. They are red and their lid is removable. These boxes are made of a very strong plastic. There is a chance that the boxes and tubes
have some scratches as they are recycled by many coin companies. The tubes in the boxes are easy and convenient to store gold bullion in. Each Monster Box comes with 25 tubes of 20 one ounce Gold American Eagle coins.
The design for the Gold Eagle originated in 1907 by August Saint-Gauden. It appeared first on the 20 dollar Double Gold Eagle. Most collectors judge the American Eagle coin design as the most beautiful in the world.
Gold is pretty soft, so Eagles are made of 91.67% gold of U.S. origin, and an alloy of 5.33% copper and 3% silver. This creates a harder surface. The US Mint produces the American Gold Eagle in two forms, Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) and Proof. Common folks like me buy the brilliant uncirculated type of coin. Collectors seem to go for proof finish. Of course proof gathers a higher premium.
The weight of a monster box is Weight 15552.500 Grams / 500.024 Oz of gold.
**Thanks to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 which expanded the precious metal holdings allowed in IRAs to include one, one-half, one-quarter or one-tenth ounce U.S. gold coins and one-ounce silver coins minted by the U.S. Treasury Department, along with certain foreign coins.
