At the time of publication, Atlanta Gold & Coin Buyers reported receiving a new supply of one-ounce American gold eagle proof coins, which the original article said were then being sold at industry-leading rates. It stated that every coin was minted in 1987 and included a velvet presentation case, certificate of authenticity, and box.
American Gold Eagle proofs were described in the original article as sought-after coins because they served both as numismatic issues for collectors and as coins eligible for IRAs. It observed that more people were interested in holding gold bullion and proof coins through IRAs and presented these coins as one method for doing so. The article included an important qualification: only proof Gold Eagles accompanied by their boxes were eligible for IRAs.
The article explained that American Gold Eagle proof coins are considerably scarcer than their bullion counterparts. As an example, it said nearly seven times as many bullion Gold Eagles as proof Gold Eagles were minted in 1987, with respective mintages of 1,045,500 and 147,498.
When this article was originally published, Atlanta Gold & Coin reported carrying, beyond one-ounce American Gold Eagle proofs, tenth-ounce American Gold Eagles, tenth-ounce American Platinum Eagles—described then as possibly the hottest precious-metals market—and American Silver Eagle proof coins. The article also said the business carried a large supply of other rare U.S. and foreign coins. It stated that collectors with many different interests would likely find coins in the inventory available at publication to suit those interests.
At the time of original publication, the article described the following: At publication, readers were invited to reserve American Gold Eagle proof coins while the reported supplies lasted by email at sales@atlantagoldandcoin.com or phone at 404-236-9744. The original invitation expressed appreciation for the opportunity to earn readers’ business.
