The Rarest $5 Gold Eagle in History: Why this 2024 Gold Coin is a Must-Have
If you’re a coin enthusiast, prepare for some exciting news. The?2024 $5 1/10 oz Gold Eagle is shaping up to be one of the rarest bullion coins ever produced by the U.S. Mint. Many collectors are still unaware of this incredible opportunity, but once they catch on, this coin is bound to make waves in the numismatic world.
U.S.Mint Coin Production & Mintages
Here’s the story: Typically, the U.S. Mint produces hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of these coins annually. While doing some research on the U.S. Mint’s website, I checked the production and sales figures for 2024. When I looked at the sales totals for the 1/10th ounce Gold Eagle, something unusual stood out. Monthly sales figures show 11,000, 4,000, and 3,500 coins sold—but the total sold to date is only 63,000 coins. According to the Mint, they’ve now stopped production of the 2024 coins and are transitioning to the 2025 series. That means only 63,000 of these coins exist.
1/10th ounce Gold Eagles
To put this into perspective, the 1/10th ounce Gold Eagles typically have much higher mintages. For example, from 1986 to the present, we’ve seen annual mintages of 92,000, 580,000, and even 2.75 million in 1999. The lowest prior mintage was 159,000 in 1988. Last year alone, 670,000 coins were minted. That makes the 2024 version about 10 times rarer than last year’s coin and three times rarer than the previous lowest mintage.
To summarize, in 2024, only 63,000 coins were minted before the Mint stopped production and shifted focus to the 2025 series. To put this in perspective:
This makes the 2024 $5 1/10th ounce Gold Eagle the lowest mintage bullion version of the coin ever made. It’s incredibly rare, and I believe it’s going to be a sleeper piece in the market. I’ve personally been buying these coins because I don’t think such a low mintage will be repeated anytime soon, especially for a bullion coin.
This dramatic drop in mintage is unprecedented. With a rarity like this, the 2024 $5 Gold Eagle stands out as a sleeper coin that could become one of the most sought-after in modern coin history.
