Description:
The 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coin is the smallest gold coin in the American Gold Eagle series. It is a popular choice for buyers who want a more affordable way to own physical gold while still getting a coin backed by the United States government.
Each coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of actual gold weight and is made from .9167 fine gold, also known as 22k gold. Its gold, copper, and silver alloy gives the coin its warm tone and makes it more durable than pure gold coins.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ classic Lady Liberty design. The reverse design may vary by year. Type 1 coins show the Family of Eagles design, while Type 2 coins feature a close-up portrait of the bald eagle.
This coin carries a $5 face value and is produced by the United States Mint. Its small size, strong recognition, and easy resale make it a practical option for collectors, investors, and anyone building a gold position over time.
The reverse features the bald eagle portrait introduced in 2021. Designed by Jennie Norris, it shows a detailed left-profile view of the eagle’s head, giving the coin a strong and modern look.
