1/10 oz Gold Coins: Small in Size, Big in Value
Filters
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 1/10 oz gold coin a good way to start investing in gold?
Yes — 1/10 oz gold coins are the most popular entry point for first-time gold buyers. At roughly one-tenth the cost of a full-ounce coin, they let you start building a gold position without a large upfront commitment while still carrying government-backed weight and purity guarantees.
What 1/10 oz gold coins are available at Global Coin?
We specialize in NGC and PCGS certified 1/10 oz American Gold Eagles ($5 face value) and Canadian Gold Maple Leafs in top grades like MS70 and PF70. Many feature exclusive autographed labels from figures like former U.S. Treasurer Anna Escobedo Cabral.
Do 1/10 oz gold coins carry higher premiums per ounce than larger coins?
Yes, fractional gold coins carry higher per-ounce premiums due to additional minting costs. However, their lower total price makes them easier to gift, trade, or liquidate in smaller increments — and certified 1/10 oz coins in MS70 or PF70 can appreciate independently of spot gold.
Can I put 1/10 oz Gold Eagles in an IRA?
Yes. American Gold Eagles in all four sizes — including 1/10 oz — meet IRS fineness requirements for inclusion in a self-directed Precious Metals IRA. Consult a qualified financial advisor to set up an account that holds physical gold.
