In 2026, the American Gold Eagle marks 40 years as one of the most trusted US gold bullion coins. The United States Mint first released the series in 1986 with four weight options designed for different budgets and collecting goals. Alongside the 1 oz coin, the mint offers three smaller fractional coins, and the 1/10 oz piece has long been the most widely chosen of those options. Every American Gold Eagle is struck in 22-karat gold, with 91.67% gold by weight. Right now, 2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coins in certified condition are available from BullionMax.

Each 2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coin offered here is in perfect certified condition. Coins graded MS70 show full, original mint luster and do not have any visible marks or flaws that take away from their appearance. The First Day of Issue label applies to coins that reach the grading service within 24 hours of the mint’s official release.

Since its debut, the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle has remained a steady part of the bullion lineup with yearly mintages in every production cycle. That consistent output points to long-running demand from buyers who like the coin’s lower entry cost and the flexibility of fractional gold for stacking, portfolio balance, or gifts. The 1/10 oz size is also the only version besides the 1 oz coin to ever top the flagship’s mintage in certain years, and it still holds the single-year record with 2.75 million coins struck in 1999.

The obverse design on 2026 American Gold Eagles features Lady Liberty in Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ famous 1907 style. Liberty is shown full-length and facing forward as she walks toward the viewer. She holds a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, representing hope and peace. The U.S. Capitol appears in the background, sunrays rise behind her, and stars frame the outer edge.

On the reverse of the 2026 1/10 oz Gold Eagle Coin is the modern bald eagle portrait introduced in 2021 for the series’ 35th anniversary. Created by artist Jennie Norris, the design shows a sharp left-profile close-up of the eagle’s head.
