About This Coin
The 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle is the smallest denomination, containing exactly 0.1 troy ounce of pure gold. Total coin weight is 0.1091 troy ounces (3.393 grams) with a face value of $5.
This is the most popular Gold Eagle size by unit sales due to its low entry point — approximately $500 at current gold prices. It carries the highest premium per ounce of all Gold Eagle sizes (typically 8-15% over spot), but its accessibility makes it the gateway coin for many new gold stackers.
The 1/10 oz Eagle is widely used for gifts, stocking stuffers, and small-increment dollar-cost averaging. It's also the most practical Gold Eagle size for potential barter scenarios. Despite the higher premium, the US government guarantee and instant recognition make it preferred over generic 1/10 oz gold rounds by most investors.
