2026 1/4 Oz American Gold Eagle

The 2026 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle is one of the most compelling fractional gold coins available right now — released in a year that marks both the 40th anniversary of the Gold Eagle series and America’s 250th birthday, making it a genuinely significant date for any gold coin collection.

2026 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle — Specifications & Design

Struck by the U.S. Mint in 22-karat gold (.9167 fine), this gold bullion coin contains a full quarter troy ounce of pure gold, alloyed with small amounts of silver and copper for lasting durability. It weighs 8.483 grams, measures 22 mm in diameter, and carries a $10 face value as legal tender. The obverse showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ celebrated Lady Liberty design — first used on the 1907 $20 Double Eagle — while the reverse features Jennie Norris’s bold, close-up portrait of a bald eagle, introduced with the Type 2 redesign in 2021. Delivered in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, each coin leaves the Mint with sharp strike detail and full original luster. This coin is also IRA eligible, meeting IRS standards for inclusion in a precious metals retirement account.
