The first photo of this 1988 American eagle gold coin, which was minted two years after they were first struck, was taken indoors to truely show the beautiful gold coloring of this coin. I took the others outside to get the detail of the coin, but it was dusk, which is why they have the lighter tone. Gold Eagles are 22-karat, and contain exactly ounce of gold.
