The 2022 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle Coin BU is part of the renowned American Gold Eagle bullion series produced by the United States Mint. Introduced in 1986, the series is widely recognized worldwide for its trusted gold content and classic American coin design.
This fractional gold coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold with a purity of .9167 fine (22-karat), alloyed with small amounts of silver and copper to enhance durability. The coin carries a $5 USD face value, backed by the U.S. government for weight and purity.
The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, showing Liberty walking forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other, symbolizing enlightenment and peace. The reverse displays the modern bald eagle portrait designed by Jennie Norris, introduced in 2021 and now used on current Gold Eagle coins.
Issued in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, these coins have never been circulated and retain their original mint luster. Individual coins are typically packaged in protective holders, while larger quantities are shipped in official U.S. Mint tubes for secure storage.
Because of its recognized design, government-guaranteed gold content, and affordable fractional size, the 2022 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle BU is an excellent choice for both precious-metal investors and collectors seeking a trusted gold bullion coin.
