First introduced in 1986 to allow buyers a convenient and cost-effective method of adding gold to their investment portfolios, the U.S. Mint strikes four different sizes of the American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins -- the standard one ounce, along with fractional 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce and 1/10 ounce sizes.

The one ounce .9999 fine, 24-karat gold coin marks its fifth year of issue, but this year's version could experience demand unlike past offerings if recent history is any indication.

The 2009 proof launched on October 29, 2009. Debuting four-day sales roared to 19,468. The US Mint stopped selling the coins on March 29, 2010 around the 50,000 level -- the most recent unaudited Mint sales figures have them at 49,388.
