The 2026 release of the American Gold Eagle honors the program’s 40th anniversary. Introduced by the United States Mint in 1986, the Gold Eagle quickly became the nation’s best-known gold bullion coin series. Since its start, it has been offered in four sizes, consisting of a 1 oz coin and three fractional-ounce coins. Among those fractionals, the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle has consistently been the most in-demand option. Each coin in the series is struck in 22-karat gold with a gold purity of 91.67%. Today, 2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coins in certified condition are available at JM Bullion.

 In 2021, the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle received the new Jennie Norris reverse design featuring a striking close-up eagle portrait, bringing enhanced security features and contemporary artistry to even the smallest Gold Eagle. The redesign maintained the beloved Saint-Gaudens obverse, ensuring the coin’s connection to America’s rich numismatic heritage remained intact.

All 2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coins available here come in Mint State 69 condition. Coins in this condition have full, original mint luster with no more than two minor detractions. These flaws are limited to minuscule contact marks or hairlines located outside the primary focal points. First Strike coins are those that are received for grading within 30 days of release from the mint.

The obverse of the 2026 American Gold Eagles features Lady Liberty in the enduring design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens from 1907. Liberty is shown in a full-length, forward-facing pose as she steps toward the viewer. A torch rises in her right hand, while an olive branch rests in her left. The design’s background highlights the U.S. Capitol Building, radiant sunrays, and a surrounding ring of stars.

For the reverse of the 2026 1/10 oz Gold Eagle Coin, the United States Mint uses the updated bald eagle design. This modern image debuted in 2021 as part of the 35th-anniversary refresh, and Jennie Norris’ artwork portrays the eagle’s head in left-profile relief.
