It's a little confusing to say "The Eagle was the largest of the four circulating..." when the double-eagle was a larger circulating coin.
The purity of all circulating gold coins in the United States was 90% gold or .900 fine - According to the article Coinage Act (1792), gold coins were 11 parts gold to 1 part alloy, i.e., .917 fine, or 22 karats -- Nik42 04:51, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
