The US one dollar gold coin is the smallest coin that was ever minted by the country, and smallest denomination of gold that the United States ever created. We recommend these coins to savvy investors as a way to both increase bullion holdings and as a way to have small gold pieces on hand if a quick exchange is needed.
These dollar gold coins got their start in 1849, after multiple gold rushes had the country looking for ways to put more gold coins into circulation. Initially, the US had no plans to release a one dollar gold coin to the public, but the country wanted to increase the amount of gold used by its citizens, and these 90% gold coins were created. There are a number of varieties – Closed Wreath, “No L”, and Small Head among them – that make these coins both valuable and interesting.
