The obverse of the 2026 1/10 oz Gold Eagle Coin features the classic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, originally introduced in 1907. Liberty is shown full-length and facing forward as she steps toward the viewer. She holds a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the U.S. Capitol building in the background. Sun rays rise behind her, and a ring of stars surrounds the scene.

On the reverse of the 2026 American Gold Eagles is the modern bald eagle portrait created by Jennie Norris. Introduced in 2021 during the series’ 35th-anniversary refresh, this design shows the eagle’s head in left-profile relief, highlighting sharp detail in the feathers and watchful eye.

Even in a smaller format, the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle carries the same well-known artwork found on the larger coins. Collectors and investors alike appreciate having Saint-Gaudens’ Liberty on the obverse and the eagle imagery tied to the Gold Eagle program. The 1/10 oz size also makes gold ownership easier to approach, giving more people a way to buy government-issued gold in lower, budget-friendly amounts.

These 2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coins are perfectly preserved and come sealed in plastic slabs. MS70 examples display complete original mint luster with no visible flaws. Early Release coins are those submitted to NGC and received for grading within 30 days of the mint’s official release.
