{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}In 2026, the American Gold Eagle hits a 40-year mark, and the United States Mint is honoring the anniversary with its newest release. The Gold Eagle series first appeared in 1986, bringing back ongoing gold coin striking at the US Mint for the first time since 1933. These coins are not meant to circulate in everyday commerce, but they do carry legal tender status in the United States. Many buyers view Gold Eagles as a clear, reliable way to hold physical gold for the long term. Right now, 2026 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Coins in certified condition are offered online through BGASC.
Highlights:
These 2026 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Coins are graded in near-perfect shape. MS69 examples retain full mint brilliance and may show no more than two tiny marks. Any small flaws are limited to light contact ticks or faint hairlines and must stay outside the main focal points. First Strike coins are pieces delivered to PCGS for grading within 30 days of the coins official release.
Obverse
The obverse design on the 2026 1/2 oz Gold Eagle Coins showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens famous Lady Liberty, a design originally used on the $20 Double Eagle. Liberty is shown in a full-length stride toward the viewer, raising a torch in one hand and carrying an olive branch in the other. Behind her, sun rays spread outward, the U.S. Capitol appears near the lower rim, and a ring of stars surrounds the scene.
Reverse
For the reverse, the 2026 American Gold Eagles use Jennie Norris refreshed bald eagle portrait that debuted in 2020. The design tightens the focus to the eagles head, emphasizing fine details in the feathers and giving the bird a strong, lifelike presence.
History
The 1/2 oz Gold Eagle is a popular choice because it sits between the smaller fractional sizes and the larger 1 oz coin. It offers a meaningful gold weight without the higher cost of a full ounce. Historically, this denomination has seen mintages that fall between the 1 oz coin and the smallest fractions, showing consistent demand from a wide range of buyers.
