1/10 oz Gold Eagles at BullionMax
Witness the marvel of the smallest yet most captivating coin within the Uncirculated American Gold Eagle Series. Not only does it hold the title of being the tiniest, but it also boasts the highest single mintage in the series, alongside the most significant disparity between its highest and lowest recorded mintages. The 1/10 oz Uncirculated American Gold Eagle stands as a breathtaking choice for those seeking to invest in gold.
Historic Ups and Downs
The 1/10 oz Uncirculated Gold Eagle stands unrivaled in the realm of minting discrepancies. While other weights in the series exhibit notable variations, none come close to the staggering divide witnessed in the 1 oz weight, which spans 1.4 million coins. Similarly, the gaps for the 1/2 oz and 1/4 oz weights are approximately 570,000 and nearly 700,000 coins, respectively.
Yet, it’s the 1/10 oz Uncirculated American Gold Eagle that truly commands attention with its remarkable chasm between highest and lowest mintages. The gulf between its zenith and nadir eclipses a staggering 2.6 million coins.
High Mintages in the Series
Throughout its history, the 1/10 oz Uncirculated American Gold Eagle has danced through cycles of demand, mirroring its larger counterparts. Peaks in the mid-1980s, late 1990s amidst the Y2K crisis, the late 2000s and early 2010s during the Great Recession, and once more during the 2015-2016 period of geopolitical unrest punctuate its journey:
- 1999 – 2.750 million coins
- 1998 – 1.344 million coins
- 2015 – 980,000 coins
- 2016 – 926,000 coins
- 1986 – 912,609 coins
- 1987 – 580,266 coins
Low Mintages in the Series
Echoing the trends of its brethren, periods of economic boom in the 1990s, mid-2000s, and late 2010s ushered in diminished demand for Uncirculated American Gold Eagles. The record lows for the 1/10 oz Uncirculated Gold Eagle include:
- 2021 Type 1 – 150,000 coins
- 1988 – 159,500 coins
- 1991 – 165,200 coins
- 2007 – 190,010 coins
- 2019 – 195,000 coins
- 1994 – 206,380 coins
1/10 oz Gold Eagle Options
The 1/10 oz Gold Eagle has been offered in three versions during the program’s history. The most consistent has been the 1/10 oz BU Gold Eagle, which has been offered annually since its 1986 debut. The 1/10 oz Proof Gold Eagle has the next best consistency, debuting in 1988 and only missing the 2009 release in the time since. The 1/10 oz Burnished Gold Eagle was only available from 2006-2008. When that program was suspended in 2009 and 2010, it returned in 2011 with just 1 oz gold available to numismatists.
