1/10 Oz Gold Coin Design
Gold Eagle Coins are recognized everywhere as one of the world's most popular coins - particularly in the affordable gold tenth-ounce size. American Eagles are available in various precious metal options such as silver coins, gold coins, platinum coins, and palladium coins. American Eagle designs are even sometimes included on other metal products. American Eagle coins are available in a number of different denomination sizes, including the classic one-ounce ($50 face value), half-ounce ($25 face value), quarter-ounce ($10 face value), and tenth-ounce ($5 face value). Each of the denominations of American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins is minted by the US Mint at either the Philadelphia Mint or West Point Mint locations.
Although these coins have a government-stamped face value, their market value is worth much more. Most of the American Gold Eagle coins are not prized for a collectible numismatic investment but instead are worth their weight in gold. Whether buying or selling American Eagle gold bullion coins, they are primarily purchased for the amount of fine gold they possess and act as a store of value while they equally hedge against inflation and maintain wealth. It's always a good idea to check gold spot prices, premiums, and customer reviews before conducting a transaction, buying or selling your American Gold Eagle coins to ensure you get what you pay for.
The Striding Liberty artwork, also known as Lady Liberty, was first created by Augustus Saint-Gaudens for the 1907-1933 double eagle gold bullion coin that can be purchased on Money Metals. Collectors and investors alike appreciate the iconic image and have maintained its vast popularity since its reproduction with the classic American Gold Eagle. This classic American coin highlights the liberty, strength, and success of the United States.
The striking, robed, Lady Liberty on the obverse (heads) holds the torch of liberty aloft in one hand and the olive branch of victory in the other, as originally designed by artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Lady Liberty is surrounded by 46 stars, and behind her is Washington D.C., emitting 27 sun rays.
Pre-2021 type 1 designs by Miley Busiek have a family of bald eagles adorning the reverse (tails)- protecting their young hatchlings in a nest. It is a stunning and iconic design, generally considered to be among the most beautiful of United States Mint coins. Late-to-Post-2021 type 2 designs by Jennie Norris have a close-up side profile of an American bald eagle that symbolizes freedom and power.
Included with the American Bald Eagle on the newer obverse design (tails) are the words “United States of America,” “1 OZ. Fine Gold ~ 5 Dollars,” “E Pluribus Unum,” and the motto, “In God We Trust.”
Each brilliant uncirculated (BU) U.S. Mint gold American eagle 1/10 Troy ounce coin carries a legal tender currency face value of $5 U.S. dollars. Additionally, coins are marked with gold content - 1/10 oz fine gold. Though the coins contain a full tenth oz of gold, the purity is 22k with 91.67% pure gold, 3% silver, and 5.33% copper alloy. Although these gold coins have less fine gold than many gold bars, the American Gold Eagle qualifies for a self-directed precious metals Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and can be stored in the Money Metals Depository.
The total coin weight of the American Gold Eagle is 3.393 grams, although the actual gold content is only around 3.11 grams. The gross weight of each coin is slightly heavier than 1/10 oz because the gold is alloyed with a bit of copper and silver. Every coin's weight and purity are assured by the US Mint.

The 1/10 ounce is the smallest size among the fractional Gold Eagles minted. The diameter is 16.5 mm or 0.6496063 inches. Investors choose this close-to-dime-sized coin to diversify their gold holdings (a US dime has a diameter of 17.91 mm and a weight of 2.268 grams). Many believe smaller coins like these will command a significant premium should gold prices move much higher. The day may come when larger 1 oz gold bullion coins are simply unaffordable for many people, raising demand for fractional-sized coinage.
