The 1993 1/10 oz Gold American Eagle $5 is a fractional gold coin produced by the United States Mint at the West Point facility and graded MS70 by the Numismatic Guaranty Company. Struck in 22-karat gold with a purity of .9167 and a total gold weight of one-tenth of a troy ounce, it carries a nominal face value of five dollars as legal tender of the United States. The MS70 designation from NGC represents a perfect grade, indicating no post-mint imperfections are visible under 5x magnification.
We carry certified examples of this coin for buyers who prioritize both confirmed numismatic condition and the security that comes with third-party grading. The NGC slab provides a permanent record of the coin's grade and authenticity, making it a distinctly different acquisition from a standard bullion issue.

The NGC slab provides a permanent record of the coin's grade and authenticity, making it a distinctly different acquisition from a standard bullion issue.
The American Gold Eagle series was authorized by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 and first issued in 1986. The legislation established the series as the official gold bullion coin of the United States and required that the gold content be sourced from newly mined domestic sources. From the outset, the 1/10 oz denomination was offered alongside the 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 oz sizes, giving buyers a structured set of entry points into the series.
The 1993 issues were produced at the West Point Mint, which has served as the primary production facility for American Gold Eagles throughout the series. While the mintmark does not appear on the coin itself for standard bullion issues of this era, West Point's role in the program is well documented. By 1993, the series had already established itself as one of the most recognized government-issued gold products in the world, and annual production continued to meet consistent collector and buyer demand.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Liberty design, adapted from his celebrated 1907 double eagle. Liberty is depicted striding forward, torch raised in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, with the Capitol building visible in the background and rays of light radiating outward. The inscription "LIBERTY" appears above, with the date below and stars bordering the composition.
The reverse was designed by sculptor Miley Busiek and depicts a male eagle carrying an olive branch toward a nest where a female eagle watches over eaglets. This imagery is distinct from the reverse designs seen on other government-issued gold series and gives the American Eagle a recognizable national character. Inscriptions include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," the denomination, and the gold content statement "1/10 OZ. FINE GOLD."
Housed in an NGC hard plastic slab, the coin is preserved under a clear window that allows full visual inspection while protecting the surfaces from handling and environmental exposure. The grade label identifies the coin's condition and year, serving as a permanent authentication record alongside the visual presentation.
At one-tenth of a troy ounce, this coin occupies one of the most practical entry points within the American Gold Eagle series. The smaller format makes it accessible at a lower absolute price than the one-ounce issue while still offering the same government-backed gold content, legal tender status, and design pedigree. Buyers often use fractional sizes when they want to acquire gold incrementally or maintain greater flexibility in how they handle or distribute their holdings.
The 1/10 oz size does carry a higher premium relative to spot compared to the full-ounce version, which reflects the fixed costs of minting distributed across a smaller gold content. That premium is a known characteristic of fractional coinage rather than a product-specific anomaly, and informed buyers typically factor it into their acquisition decisions accordingly.
The NGC MS70 certification accompanying this coin provides independent third-party confirmation of both authenticity and condition. NGC's grading process involves examination by multiple trained numismatists, and coins achieving an MS70 designation are encapsulated in a tamper-evident holder with a unique certification number that can be verified directly through NGC's online registry. This removes ambiguity about the coin's state at the time of grading.
We are an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, which informs how we represent graded products and how we evaluate third-party certified coins within our catalog. The United States Mint's production standards for American Gold Eagles are among the most rigorously maintained in government-issued coinage, and the combination of Mint-quality production with NGC's grading process provides a high level of documented product integrity for this specific coin.
An MS70 grade represents the highest possible designation on the Sheldon numismatic scale. A coin graded MS70 by NGC is considered perfect, with no trace of wear, contact marks, hairlines, or blemishes visible under standard magnification. For a 1993 coin to achieve this grade more than three decades after its production, the surfaces must have been exceptionally preserved from the point of minting forward. Surviving examples at this level are substantially rarer than the broader population of 1993 1/10 oz Gold Eagles.
This coin ships in its original NGC hard plastic slab, which encapsulates it permanently and protects the surfaces without requiring any additional handling. The slab itself includes the grade label, coin description, and NGC certification number. No additional holder or flip is used for certified coins, as the slab serves as both the protective packaging and the authentication document.
The base price of this coin is anchored to the current spot price of gold, with the final retail price reflecting a premium above that figure. For a fractional coin graded MS70, the premium structure differs from standard bullion pricing in a meaningful way. Beyond the typical fractional size premium and the recognized mint premium associated with American Gold Eagles, this coin carries an additional numismatic premium tied to its certified perfect condition.
Our pricing reflects real-time gold market conditions and is updated continuously to stay aligned with spot movements. The bid/ask spread displayed on the product page gives buyers a clear view of both the current ask and the expected buy-back level, which is useful context for understanding the full cost of ownership. Premium levels for MS70-graded fractional Gold Eagles can fluctuate based on collector demand and the availability of certified examples at this grade level within the secondary market.
American Gold Eagles are among the most globally traded gold coins, and the 1/10 oz size is well understood in both retail and dealer markets. The added layer of NGC certification and an MS70 grade introduces a numismatic dimension to liquidity that goes beyond standard bullion resale. Certified coins are typically evaluated by numismatic buyers as well as bullion buyers, and demand at the MS70 level depends in part on population data and collector interest in the specific date and series.
We operate a two-way market that supports both purchases and sales within the same platform. Buyers who eventually want to sell can do so without having to navigate an entirely separate process or dealer relationship. We believe liquidity is a factor worth understanding before a purchase is made, not only at the point of sale, and our buyback pricing reflects that perspective.
This coin appeals to a specific type of buyer: one who wants the recognized government backing and design legacy of the American Gold Eagle series combined with independent confirmation of exceptional condition. The 1993 date adds a degree of historical interest as an earlier issue in a long-running series, and surviving MS70 examples from this year represent a narrow subset of total production. For collectors building date sets or acquiring certified examples of early-year Eagles, this is a meaningful addition.
The NGC slab eliminates the uncertainty that comes with raw coins, particularly for older issues where surface condition can be difficult to assess without experience. Buyers who prioritize documented, verifiable condition over the lowest possible premium per ounce will find the certified format better suited to their acquisition criteria than a standard bullion piece.
We have been operating in the physical precious metals space since 2010, and our approach has always been built around transparency rather than pressure. Our pricing is publicly displayed in real time, our buyback prices are visible before any purchase commitment is made, and we do not operate under the high-pressure sales model common in parts of this industry. Every product we carry is verified for authenticity before it reaches a customer.
As an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, we are well positioned to represent graded coins accurately and to help buyers understand what a given grade means in practical terms. We hold an A rating with the Better Business Bureau and are members of the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association. These affiliations reflect a consistent operating standard rather than a marketing credential, and we work to earn continued trust with each transaction.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of products, including graded numismatic issues where premium levels can shift meaningfully based on market demand and certified population data. For a coin like this 1993 MS70, understanding the current wholesale spread and how it compares to historical levels provides useful context that standard retail listings do not typically offer. Pro members can evaluate this product using premium history, spread data, and liquidity metrics rather than relying solely on listed prices.
Portfolio valuation within Pro uses live wholesale bid pricing, which means certified holdings are valued at current executable levels rather than estimated retail figures. This distinction matters for any buyer who wants a realistic understanding of what their certified gold coins are worth in the current market at any given moment.
