The 2017 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle BU is part of the world-renowned American Gold Eagle bullion series produced by the United States Mint. First introduced in 1986, the series is one of the most widely recognized and trusted gold bullion programs globally.
Struck from .9167 fine (22-karat) gold, the coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of gold and carries a $5 USD legal tender face value, guaranteed by the U.S. government for its weight and purity. The fractional size makes it an affordable and convenient way for investors and collectors to own physical gold.
The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, depicting Liberty walking forward with a torch and olive branch, symbolizing enlightenment and freedom.
The reverse displays the classic Type 1 eagle family design by Miley Busiek, showing a male bald eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings. This historic reverse design appeared on American Gold Eagles from 1986 through mid-2021.
Issued in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, the coin has never been circulated and retains its original mint luster. With its trusted gold content, iconic design, and fractional size, the 2017 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle BU is an excellent choice for both gold investors and coin collectors.
