1/10 oz American Eagle 2026 is a gold bullion coin from the United States Mint with a fineness of 916.7/1000 (Crown Gold, 22 karat) and a mass of 3.11 g of fine gold (gross mass 3.393 g). It belongs to the American flagship series launched in 1986 under the Gold Bullion Coin Act as the US Congress response to sanctions against South Africa. The 2026 vintage combines the classic obverse Liberty Walking by Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1907) with the "Profile of Eagle" reverse by Jennie Norris (since 2021).
The coin is distinguished by its IRA-eligible status in the USA — it is one of the few bullion coins recognised by the Internal Revenue Service as a qualified asset in Individual Retirement Accounts. The Crown Gold alloy (91.67% Au + 3% Ag + 5.33% Cu) gives the coin higher physical durability than competing coins of 999.9 fineness, while maintaining an identical net gold mass of 3.11 g.

The American Eagle series was launched in 1986 under the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 — a US Congress law as a direct response to sanctions against the Republic of South Africa during the apartheid era, which halted Krugerrand imports to the USA. American Eagle was meant to fill the demand gap on the American bullion coin market and become the American equivalent of the Krugerrand, Maple Leaf (1979) and the later-introduced Vienna Philharmonic (1989).
The Crown Gold alloy (916.7/1000 Au + 30/1000 Ag + 53.3/1000 Cu) was chosen as a deliberate tribute to the British Sovereign tradition used by the Royal Mint since 1817, and to the Krugerrand, which has used Crown Gold since 1967. The addition of silver and copper gives the coin higher physical hardness — greater resistance to scratches, fingerprints and mechanical damage — while preserving an identical net gold mass (3.11 g in 1/10 oz, 31.103 g in 1 oz) to .9999 coins.
The obverse of the coin presents the Liberty Walking motif by Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907) — an Irish-American sculptor whom President Theodore Roosevelt personally invited in 1905 to redesign American coins. Saint-Gaudens created the motif of the goddess Liberty striding to the left with a torch and an olive branch for the 1907 20 USD Double Eagle coin — recognised as one of the finest coins in the history of American numismatics. The US Congress decision of 1985 to resurrect this motif on the American Eagle was a tribute to American numismatic heritage.
The reverse of the series underwent a historic change in 2021 — the first in the 35 years of its existence. The original "Family of Eagles" motif by Miley Busiek Frost (in effect 1986-2020) showed a male eagle in flight above a nest with a female and chicks. Since 2021, the "Profile of Eagle" motif by Jennie Norris from the US Mint Artistic Infusion Program has been in use — the head of the American bald eagle in profile with a determined expression. The motif change coincided with the 35th anniversary of the series and parallel changes to the Silver Eagle designs.
Eagle production takes place at the US Mint facility in West Point (New York) — one of the six facilities of the federal mint. The US Mint headquarters is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and other facilities are Denver, San Francisco, Fort Knox (vault) and Washington (HQ). The United States Mint was established on April 2, 1792 by the Coinage Act signed by George Washington — it was the first federal institution of the USA and is the same age as the founding of the USA as a federation.
The obverse of the 1/10 oz American Eagle presents the Liberty Walking motif by Augustus Saint-Gaudens from 1907 — the goddess Liberty strides to the left with a torch (symbol of enlightenment) in her right hand and an olive branch (symbol of peace) in her left. In the background are sun rays and a panorama of the Capitol in Washington. Around the figure is the inscription LIBERTY as well as the year of minting 2026 and the inscription IN GOD WE TRUST.
The Saint-Gaudens motif was originally used on the 1907 20 USD Double Eagle circulation coin — President Theodore Roosevelt's commission to the American sculptor was part of a broader aesthetic reform of American coinage ("I want America's coins to be art, not just commerce" — Roosevelt's famous declaration). Saint-Gaudens died in August 1907, just weeks before the first full issue of the 20 USD Double Eagle was struck. The US Congress decision of 1985 to resurrect this motif in the new Eagle series was therefore a tribute to American numismatic heritage.
The reverse of the 1/10 oz American Eagle (2026 vintage) presents the "Profile of Eagle" motif by Jennie Norris — selected to the US Mint Artistic Infusion Program (AIP). The motif shows the head of the American bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in profile, with a determined expression and feathers sculpted in detail in low relief. Around it is the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the face value 5 DOLLARS and the designation 1/10 OZ. FINE GOLD.
The Norris motif has been in effect since 2021 after 35 years of the "Family of Eagles" tradition by Miley Busiek (1986-2020) — which depicted a male eagle in flight above a nest with a female and chicks. The motif change coincided with the 35th anniversary of the series and parallel changes to the Silver Eagle designs. 1/10 oz vintages from 1986-2020 bear the Miley Busiek motif; 2021+ vintages bear the Jennie Norris motif.
The Crown Gold alloy (22 karat) contains 91.67% gold and 8.33% silver and copper admixture — it gives the coin higher physical hardness and the characteristic gold-reddish hue, distinguishing the Eagle from .9999 coins (Maple Leaf, Vienna Philharmonic, Britannia from 2013). The net gold mass (3.11 g in 1/10 oz) is identical to competing .9999 coins — the gross mass is higher (3.393 g) by the admixture.
The 2026 vintage is the sixth production year with the "Profile of Eagle" reverse by Jennie Norris (since 2021). The 2021 vintage (first issue with the new reverse) currently carries a collector premium of 10-20% over metal content. The 2026 vintage does not carry the "first vintage" premium characteristic of 2021 — it is a standard bullion purchase with the Norris motif.
Bullion product status: 1/10 oz American Eagle holds IRA-eligible status in the USA (the Internal Revenue Service recognises Eagle as a qualified asset in Individual Retirement Accounts) and legal tender status in the USA with a face value of 5 USD. Eagle does not hold LBMA Good Delivery accreditation (unlike Krugerrand, Maple Leaf and other classic bullion coins) — the US Mint does not apply for this accreditation, as Eagle is distributed mainly on the American market.
VAT in the EU: Eagle is exempt from VAT under Council Directive 98/80/EC. The 916.7/1000 fineness meets the required minimum of 900/1000 for VAT exemption on bullion coins (the 99.5% minimum is measured for investment bars; for bullion coins, 900/1000 plus a face value and minting after 1800 is sufficient).

It is a gold bullion coin from the United States Mint with a fineness of 916.7/1000 (Crown Gold, 22 karat) and a mass of 3.11 g of fine gold, belonging to the American flagship series launched in 1986. The 2026 vintage combines the Liberty Walking obverse by Saint-Gaudens (1907) with the "Profile of Eagle" reverse by Jennie Norris (since 2021). Face value 5 USD, legal tender in the USA.
Fineness 916.7/1000 (Crown Gold, 22 karat — since 1986), fine gold mass 3.11 g (1/10 troy oz), gross mass 3.393 g (with silver and copper admixture), diameter 16.5 mm, thickness 1.19 mm. The Crown Gold alloy gives the coin higher physical hardness than 999.9 fineness.
The obverse (Liberty Walking) was designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1907 — originally for the 20 USD Double Eagle circulation coin, resurrected for the Eagle in 1986. The reverse (Profile of Eagle) was designed by Jennie Norris from the US Mint Artistic Infusion Program — the motif has been in effect since 2021 after 35 years of the Miley Busiek "Family of Eagles" motif (1986-2020).
Eagle has 916.7/1000 fineness (Crown Gold, 22 karat); Maple Leaf has 999.99/1000 fineness (pure gold, one of the highest standards on the market). Fine gold mass identical (3.11 g). Eagle is heavier in gross (3.393 g vs 3.11 g) due to silver and copper admixture — gives higher physical hardness. Eagle holds IRA-eligible status in the USA; Maple Leaf has Bullion DNA technology (laser-printed micro-security features).
For people who value American numismatic heritage and the Saint-Gaudens motif, plan future emigration or asset relocation to the USA (where Eagle has IRA-eligible status), and for people interested in a Crown Gold 22-karat coin with higher physical hardness than 999.9 fineness.
Eagle does not hold LBMA Good Delivery accreditation (the US Mint does not apply for this accreditation, as Eagle is distributed mainly on the American market). It does hold IRA-eligible status in the USA — the Internal Revenue Service recognises Eagle as a qualified asset in Individual Retirement Accounts. In the EU, Eagle is VAT-exempt under Council Directive 98/80/EC — the 916.7 fineness meets the 900/1000 minimum for bullion coins.
