For buyers seeking gold ownership at a smaller, more accessible weight, this 2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle offers a coin certified MS70 by PCGS, the top of the scale, paired with a First Day of Issue designation marking it among the earliest coins submitted for this release.
Key Features:
- Purity and weight: 1/10 troy oz of .9167 fine gold (22-karat)
- Metal: Gold, alloyed with small amounts of silver and copper for added durability
- Obverse: Lady Liberty striding forward with torch and olive branch
- Reverse: Bald eagle head shown in tight left-facing profile
The obverse carries Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ standing Liberty, her robe sweeping back as she moves forward against a field of sunrays. A torch is raised in her right hand, an olive branch rests in her left, and the 2026 date sits near her trailing foot at the lower right. The reverse moves away from the earlier multi-eagle scene and instead frames a single eagle’s head at close range, the feathers around the eye and brow cut with fine, individual lines. The rim carries “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” with “5 DOLLARS” and “1/10 OZ. FINE GOLD” struck along the lower edge.
The coin is sealed in a PCGS holder, its label printed with the 2026 date, $5 denomination, and MS70 grade, an American flag graphic beside the gold-lettered First Day of Issue designation, and a barcode with serial number for verification. A tamper-evident hologram strip runs across the reverse side of the holder, and PCGS backs both the grade and authenticity of the coin.
A coin graded MS70 shows no detectable marks, hairlines, or imperfections under magnification, the same condition it left the Mint in. The First Day of Issue label adds further appeal for collectors who specifically track early-certified examples from a new release. Small in size but graded at the very top of the scale, this 1/10 oz Gold Eagle works well as an entry point into gold bullion or as a focused piece in a fractional collection.
