About American Gold Eagle 1/10 oz Coins

Gold coins were used for legal tender under the Coinage Act of 1792. However, after an executive order issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, they were removed from circulation. 1972 and the Nixon presidency brought a reversal to this order, which had banned the private ownership of gold bullion. Americans were once again able to build their portfolios and invest in their futures. The 1/10 oz American Gold Eagles were first minted in 1986, after the passage of the Gold Bullion Act of 1985, under President Ronald Reagan. This act authorized the United States Mint to produce American Gold Eagles but only with gold mined inside the U.S. The U.S. Mint originally used Roman Numerals to date the coins but switched to the traditional Arabic Numerals in 1992. American Eagle coins are available in gold, silver, platinum or palladium, in addition to various sizes. All Gold Eagles have a weight and purity that is backed by the Federal Government.   

 

Design of 1/10 oz Gold Eagles

 On the obverse of the American Gold Eagle, you will find an image of the robed Lady Liberty, walking forward with her torch and olive branch. The United States Capitol is seen in the distance, in the far left-hand corner, with stars adorning the outer edge. This design is a rendition of the iconic and unmistakable artwork of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, created in 1907. The image is taken from the $20 Saint-Gaudens gold coin, commissioned by Theodore Roosevelt to generate coinage similar to ancient Greek and Roman currency. The word “Liberty” and the year are additionally engraved.  The reverse image, designed in 1986 by sculptor Miley Busiek, depicts a female eagle in her nest as she guards her hatchlings. A male eagle, holding an olive branch in its beak, protectively flies overhead. Busiek, who had previously designed a medallion for the inauguration of President Ronald Reagan, was inspired by a speech Reagan had given at the Republican National Convention in 1980, where he emphasized the need to unify for the greater good. Instead of designing a single eagle, as was the common pattern, Busiek decided to depict an entire family, signifying strength, unity and security. Inscriptions on the reverse include “United States of America”, “E Pluribus Unum”, “In God We Trust” and “1/10 oz. Fine Gold – 5 Dollars”. The diameter is .650 inches with reeded edging.   

 

1/10 oz Gold Eagle Composition

 All American Gold Eagles are produced in a 22-karat gold alloy. Commonly referred to as “crown gold”, this practice was originally formulated by King Henry VIII during the mid-16th century. This coin contains a 91.67 percentage of gold, with the remaining components being small portions of silver and copper alloys. Each coin is specifically marked by weight, which is the actual amount of gold weight measured in troy ounces.   

 

American Gold Eagle 1/10 oz Coin Packaging

Individual American Gold Eagles will arrive in protective, plastic flips. Bulk options include mint tubes of 50 coins or Monster Boxes of 5000 coins, with the box holding a total of 100 tubes. All American Gold Eagles provided in this listing are in BU condition.

    I recieved 1/10 American Gold Eagle coin not long ago. I had been expected to receive 1/10 American Gold Eagle coin with protected capsule for this coin, but I didn’t get it. The price had been inexpensive compare to other websites. The delivery of the coin had been fast. In general I am satisfied with my purchase and I will highly recommended to visit your website to my friends. I’ll purchase other precious metals such as Platinum and Palladium when my budget let me do it from Hero website. Thank you for your services

    Ordered these several times. No complaints

  4. Michael D. (verified owner)

    I’ve puchased several of these coins from Hero and haven’t been disapointed yet. The premiums are lower than competitors and Texas doesn’t charge sales tax for those out of state.

  5. Raymond B (verified owner)

    Ordered from Hero Bullion for the first time. They had the best price on the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle at the time. Got my order within 3 days of payment clearing. I opened the box and they included a capsule! IT was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be ordering from HB again!!!

  6. michael c.hubbartt (verified owner)

    Received a 2021 type 1 that was a great addition to my stack considering I had already received the type 2 2021 last month. Everything I have ordered has been sent quickly and without problems of any kind and usually arrives earlier than the estimated date from fed ex.

  7. David S. (verified owner)

    I received a 2021 Type 2, and I am super happy with that.
