In 1999, the US Mint saw a surge in production for American Gold Eagle coins, marking the highest output since the series began in 1986. Among the various denominations minted that year, the 1/4 oz Gold Eagles stood out, with a production of 564,232 coins, second only to the inaugural year’s mintage of 726,031. This spike in demand was attributed to the Y2K uncertainty. Now, the 1999 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle coin is available through BullionMax.
