2026 1/10 oz American Gold Eagle MS-70 CAC (First Day Delivery)

---

The 2026 American Gold Eagle continues a celebrated tradition of United States coinage that began in 1986. Struck by the United States Mint from 1/10 ounce of 22-karat gold (with a purity of 0.9167), this small five-dollar denomination coin carries a powerful visual legacy. This particular specimen has achieved a perfect Mint State 70 (MS-70) grade from and features the coveted First Day Delivery designation, confirming it was among the very first coins received from the mint. On the obverse, the iconic figure of Lady Liberty stands tall, holding a torch to light the way and an olive branch as a symbol of peace. This classic design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens remains one of the most revered images in American numismatics. The year 2026 is clearly inscribed alongside the figure. The reverse displays a detailed portrait of a bald eagle, a modern design created by Jennie Norris. The inscriptions on this side include the nation of issue, the United States of America, the five-dollar face value, and the traditional mottos "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM".
