Through much of the 1990s, American Gold Eagle demand was quite low. Following the debut of the coins in 1986, the demand dropped each year through 1991. From 1991 to 1997, mintage grew each year, with the exception of 1996. However, the series saw one of its strongest periods of year-over-year growth from 1997 to 1999.

All of the 1998 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Coins are available to purchase with protective flips. The mintage of 309,829 1/4 oz Gold Eagles in 1998 marked the second-highest increase year-over-year in the history of the series. The jump in demand from 1997 to 1998 was 201,024 coins.

The reverse field of the 1998 American Gold Eagle comes with an image of a family of American bald eagles. This design was created for the series in 1986 and the design has been used exclusively on the coins of the American Gold Eagle Series. The image features a male eagle in flight with a branch in its talons as a female eagle is perched in the nest with hatchlings.
