The American Gold Eagle series reaches a major milestone in 2026 with its 40th anniversary. First issued by the United States Mint in 1986, the program has offered four weights from the start: a 1 oz gold coin and three fractional options. Among those smaller sizes, the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle has long been the favorite for investors who want a more affordable way to own US gold bullion. Each coin in the series is struck in 22-karat gold with 91.67% pure gold content. Right now, 2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coins in certified condition are available from BullionMax.

The 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle debuted in 1986 as the smallest coin authorized under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985. With one-tenth troy ounce of 22-karat gold and a $5 face value, the coin measures just 16.5mm across. That compact size and lower gold weight make it an easy starting point for anyone looking to add American gold to a collection or portfolio.

All of the 2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coins offered here are in near-perfect certified condition. Mint State 69 examples display strong original mint luster with no more than two tiny imperfections. These minor marks or hairlines are typically located away from the main design elements and are very hard to spot without magnification. Early Release coins are those sent to NGC for grading within 30 days of the mint’s official release.

On the obverse of the 2026 American Gold Eagle is Lady Liberty. Augustus Saint-Gaudens created this iconic design in 1907, portraying Liberty in full-length relief as she strides forward. She holds a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the U.S. Capitol, rising sunrays, and a circle of stars in the background.

The reverse of the 2026 1/10 oz Gold Eagle features the modern bald eagle portrait introduced in 2021. Designed by Jennie Norris, the image shows the eagle’s head in left-profile relief with sharp detail and a clean, contemporary look.
