The American Eagle coin is produced at the Philadelphia Mint, the Denver Mint, and the San Francisco Mint, and is distributed by the United States Mint to authorized dealers, such as Apmex and JM Bullion. The coin is also popular among collectors, including Harvey Stack and Stanley Kesselman, who have written about the coin in Numismatic News and Coin World.

The design is similar to the American Silver Eagle coin, which features a depiction of Walking Liberty on the obverse, designed by Adolph A. Weinman.
