United States 1/10 oz Gold American Eagle Coin

This item is a 1/10 ounce United States Gold American Eagle bullion coin, housed in a protective square acrylic screw-down holder. The coin features the classic reverse design by Miley Busiek, depicting a male bald eagle in flight carrying an olive branch to a nest containing a female eagle and her hatchlings. Constructed from 22-karat gold (.9167 fineness), the coin typically measures 16.5 mm in diameter and 1.19 mm in thickness. The strike appears sharp with high luster, suggesting a Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition. The field of the coin shows no significant abrasions or contact marks through the protective casing. The holder itself is a clear, multi-piece plastic assembly with four visible translucent screws at the corners, labeled with gold-toned lettering that reads 'U.S. EAGLE' and '1/10 OZ.' The holder shows minor surface shelf wear and light dust, but the coin remains securely sealed, preserving its numismatic and metal value. As an official U.S. Mint product, it carries a nominal face value of $5 USD, though its valuation is tied primarily to the spot price of gold and its collector demand as a fractional bullion piece. Based on the reverse design, this coin dates from 1986 to the present (Type 1 design used through mid-2021).
