The 2001 American Gold Eagle in 1/10 oz is a fractional sovereign coin struck by the United States Mint at West Point, carrying a five-dollar face value and composed of 22-karat gold at .9167 fineness. At one-tenth of a troy ounce, it is the smallest denomination in the Gold Eagle series and one of the most widely recognized fractional gold coins produced by any government mint. This particular example has been certified MS70 by NGC, representing a perfect mint state grade with no post-production imperfections visible under magnification.
We carry NGC-certified examples of this coin because third-party grading adds a meaningful layer of authentication and condition verification that benefits both buyers and sellers. An MS70 designation from NGC is the highest possible grade on the Sheldon scale and indicates a flawless strike with full original luster.

The American Gold Eagle program was established by the Gold Bullion Coin Act of 1985 and launched in 1986, making it the United States government's official gold bullion coin series. The program was designed to provide American buyers with a domestically produced gold coin backed by the federal government for weight, content, and purity. From the outset, Gold Eagles have been produced using gold sourced primarily from American mines, a requirement codified in the enabling legislation.
The West Point Mint, which strikes the bullion Gold Eagle series, has long served as a primary storage and production facility for gold coinage in the United States. By 2001, the Gold Eagle program had established a consistent track record across four denominations: 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1 oz. The fractional sizes were introduced alongside the one-ounce coin from the beginning of the series, expanding accessibility across a broader range of buyers.
The obverse of the American Gold Eagle features a modernized adaptation of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' iconic Lady Liberty design, originally created for the 1907 double eagle gold coin. 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 sunlight emanating from behind her figure. The design is widely regarded as one of the finest ever to appear on an American coin.
The reverse depicts a family of American bald eagles, with a male eagle carrying an olive branch descending toward a nest where a female shields her eaglets. Sculptor Miley Busiek created this reverse design specifically for the Gold Eagle series. The coin's edge is reeded, and the inscriptions include the denomination, weight, and gold content alongside standard national mottoes. The overall composition has a rich, warm tone characteristic of 22-karat gold.
At 1/10 of a troy ounce, this coin represents one of the most practical entry points into physical gold ownership. The smaller size allows buyers to acquire government-issued gold without committing to the full capital outlay of a one-ounce coin, which makes it useful for those building a position incrementally or looking to diversify across multiple purchases.
Fractional coins like this one also serve a practical role when physical gold is being transacted in smaller increments. The 1/10 oz Gold Eagle is one of the most broadly recognized fractional gold coins in the United States, which supports its usability in a wide range of buying and selling situations.
Every American Gold Eagle is struck under the authority of the United States Mint and carries a statutory guarantee of weight, content, and purity. The coin's .9167 gold fineness and 1/10 oz gold content are backed by federal law, not simply manufacturer representation. For the 2001 series, West Point production carries an implicit mint mark association even when it does not appear on the coin's surface.
This specific coin has been independently graded and encapsulated by NGC, one of the two most respected third-party grading services in the numismatic and bullion industry. NGC's authentication process includes verification of the coin's identity, strike, and surface condition. As an authorized NGC dealer, we handle and present certified coins in accordance with NGC's standards, ensuring that the encapsulated coin you receive is the same one that earned its grade.
An MS70 grade from NGC represents a perfect specimen with no post-production flaws, contact marks, or surface disturbances detectable under 5x magnification. Full original mint luster is present across the entire coin surface. For a bullion coin series like the Gold Eagle, MS70 examples represent a meaningful distinction from typical uncirculated pieces, which more commonly grade MS69 or lower due to minor contact from the minting and handling process.
NGC-certified coins are delivered in NGC's hard plastic sonically sealed slabs, which protect the coin from handling and environmental exposure while keeping it fully visible. The slab includes a label confirming the coin's identity, date, denomination, and grade. Because graded coins are encapsulated individually, they do not ship in tubes or bulk packaging. The slab itself serves as the primary protective and presentation format, and no additional holder is needed.
Pricing for the 2001 1/10 oz Gold Eagle MS70 reflects both the current spot price of gold and the premium associated with its certified condition. The 1/10 oz format already carries a higher premium per ounce than larger denominations, a standard dynamic in fractional gold markets where per-unit production costs are spread across less metal. The MS70 certification adds a further layer of premium that reflects scarcity relative to the population of graded examples.
Our pricing is structured to reflect real-time market conditions rather than fixed retail margins. Because MS70 examples of this coin are relatively scarce within the broader Gold Eagle population, premiums can fluctuate with collector and dealer demand in addition to the underlying gold price. We display both the ask price and the bid price on each product page so buyers can evaluate the full cost of ownership with clarity before committing to a purchase.
American Gold Eagles are among the most liquid gold coins in the United States market, recognized by dealers, institutions, and private buyers across the country. The series benefits from government backing, broad name recognition, and consistent annual production, all of which support resale activity. The MS70 designation narrows the buyer pool somewhat compared to raw bullion examples, but the pool of buyers specifically seeking certified fractional Gold Eagles is well-established.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals through the same platform. When you are ready to sell, you can request a buyback quote directly through our marketplace. We believe evaluating resale options before a purchase is made leads to better long-term decisions, and our platform is designed to make that comparison straightforward.
The combination of government issuance, a historically significant design, and a perfect NGC grade makes this coin appealing to buyers who want more than a standard bullion holding. As a 2001-dated coin, it occupies a specific position in the Gold Eagle series that collectors and registry set builders actively pursue. An MS70 specimen from that year is demonstrably scarcer than MS69 examples, which adds a dimension of appeal that a standard bullion coin cannot replicate.
For buyers primarily focused on gold content, the coin still delivers .9167 fine gold in a government-guaranteed package. The certified slab eliminates any ambiguity about authenticity and condition, which simplifies both ownership and eventual resale. It offers a practical way to hold gold in a fractional size while also holding a coin with documented registry-grade quality.
We have been operating as a transparent precious metals marketplace since 2010, and our approach has remained consistent: clear pricing, honest representation, and responsive service at every step. As an authorized dealer for both NGC and PCGS, we are positioned to present certified coins accurately and handle graded material with the care it requires. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and membership in both the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a long-standing commitment to professional standards.
We source coins from reputable mints, wholesalers, and distributors, and every product is verified for authenticity before it reaches our customers. Our pricing is built around real-time market data rather than fixed retail structures, and we display bid and ask pricing on each product page so you can evaluate the full picture before buying. The goal is to remove uncertainty from the process and give buyers the information they need to make confident, informed decisions.
