The 1989 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle MS-69 PCGS (Reagan) is a collectible fractional gold coin issued by the United States Mint. The coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold and is struck in 22-karat gold (91.67% gold with small amounts of copper and silver added for durability), providing both intrinsic value and long-lasting strength.
This coin has been graded MS-69 (Mint State 69) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), indicating a nearly flawless coin with only very minor imperfections visible under magnification. Coins with this grade display strong mint luster and excellent strike quality.
A notable feature of this early American Gold Eagle issue is the Roman numeral date “MCMLXXXIX”, representing the year 1989, which was used on Gold Eagles from 1986 to 1991 before switching to Arabic numerals.
The obverse showcases the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, holding a torch and olive branch with the U.S. Capitol building in the background. The reverse features a family of bald eagles, designed by Miley Busiek, symbolizing American strength, unity, and heritage.
This example also includes the PCGS Reagan label, honoring President Ronald Reagan, adding an extra collectible element for numismatic enthusiasts. With its high MS-69 grade, PCGS certification, and special Reagan label, the 1989 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle is a desirable addition to any gold coin collection or investment portfolio.
