Capitol years (1979–1985)
After more than two years without new studio material, during March 1979, Beckley and Bunnell presented the group's new style with a cover of The Mamas & the Papas' "California Dreamin'", part of the soundtrack for the movie "California Dreaming." Although the movie was unsuccessful commercially and the soundtrack was issued by an obscure distributor known as American International, the single scored as high as #56 on the charts.

America's first studio album without Peek, Silent Letter, was released in June 1979 on their new label, Capitol Records. The album, once again produced by Martin, was recorded in Montserrat in the West Indies with the members of the live band: David Dickey, Willie Leacox, Michael Woods, Jim Calire and Tom Walsh. The group began to utilize songs from other songwriters as they sought to increase their commercial success. The album scored no higher than #110 on the charts, leading Bunnell sarcastically to dub the album Silent Record. During the latter part of 1979, Calire and Walsh were dropped from the onstage line-up. Ace session bassist Bryan Garafalo replaced Dickey in 1980 and Bradley Palmer took over from Garafalo in 1981.

America continued to evolve as the 1980s began. For their next album, Alibi, released in August 1980, Beckley and Bunnell sought fresh personnel in the form of producers Matthew McCauley and Fred Mollin. They also employed players from the West Coast, such as the Eagles' Timothy B. Schmit, Leland Sklar and Steve Lukather, to help improve their sound. Alibi eschewed the strings and brass of a typical Martin project in favor of a more popular-rock style. It also became the third studio album in a row without a successful single in the United States, although Beckley's "Survival" scored the top of the charts in Italy. The album's sales maximized at only #142. The album though is considered by some one of America's best by showing the group's versatility. Some of the rock songs on the album, "Survival", "Hangover", "Might Be Your Love" and "I Do Believe In You" were very solid.

America's next album, View from the Ground, released in July 1982, was finally a commercial success. The album, recorded under the working title Two Car Garage, featured a number of songs produced by the duo themselves. As with Alibi, Beckley and Bunnell brought in a number of talented musicians, including the Beach Boys' Carl Wilson, Toto's Jeff Porcaro, Christopher Cross and Dean Parks. But it was former Argent frontman Russ Ballard who had the greatest effect on the group's fortunes. Ballard produced and played most of the instruments on a song he crafted especially for the band, called "You Can Do Magic". The song rose quickly through the popular charts, and scored as high as #8 on the Billboard pop singles chart for a number of weeks during October 1982, the band's first major success in seven years. Following "Magic" was the single "Right Before Your Eyes" an homage to silent movie actors better known to listeners as "Rudolph Valentino" due to its memorable refrain. Written by Ian Thomas (brother of comedian Dave Thomas of Strange Brew fame), and produced by Bobby Colomby, the single barely missed scoring Top Forty during early 1983. Although View From The Ground failed to achieve gold-rated sales, it scored as high as #41 on the album charts, a significant improvement over the previous few releases.

Having had some success with Ballard, Beckley and Bunnell decided to have the former Argent performer produce their next album, Your Move, in its entirety. In the end, Ballard wrote most of the songs and performed most of the instruments in addition to his production duties. For the most part Beckley and Bunnell were singers on an album that Ballard had crafted for them, although they did contribute some material of their own. On one track, Bunnell decided to rewrite Ballard's lyrics, and the successful song "The Border" was the result. Set to the backing of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the saxophone work of Raphael Ravenscroft, the single scored #33 on the charts in August 1983. "The Border" was much more successful on the adult contemporary charts, where it scored #4 (even besting "You Can Do Magic"). It also made #24 on the Dutch Top 40. A second single, Ballard's "Cast The Spirit", failed to chart. The album itself, released in June 1983, was reasonably successful at #81, but something of a disappointment when compared to its predecessor.

America's work was also featured on several soundtracks during this period. Beckley and Bunnell contributed several tracks to The Last Unicorn soundtrack in 1982. The soundtrack became popular in Germany, and the group frequently plays its title track when touring in that country. America also recorded "Love Comes Without Warning" for the 1984 Steve M

Pedigree needed to keep up with Barbies growing popularity in the UK so changed Sindys face and released the "New Look Sindy" in January 1986. The result was only for one year as Hasbro bought out Pedigree in mid 86. In mid 1986 we got the (Rushed out and cheaply made) Pop star Sindy's with Pink hair, surely a test by Hasbro prior to launching it's Jem line.

It is offered annually in 5, 10, 25 and 50 dollar denominations (those being 1/10,1/4, 1/2, and 1 ounce coins). By law, the gold must come from mines within the United States of America, and must contain a gold purity of .9167 (22 karats). The coin also contains an additional alloy of copper and silver, to make a more wear resistant coin.

These fractional bullion coins are traded based on the market value for gold. The 1/4 oz US Gold Eagle can be used in contracts in the USA based on their $10 face value although they are traded based on the market rate for gold. The American Gold Eagle has 1/4 oz Fine Gold printed in English on the coin making them highly trustworthy and tradable. The US Gold Eagle has its 1/4 oz fine gold content guaranteed by the United States Government. The American Gold Eagle is one of the freest trading gold coins in the world.
