{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}In 2026, the United States Mint reaches the 40-year mark for the American Gold Eagle bullion program. Debuting in 1986, the series became the Mints first ongoing gold coin offering after American gold coin production ended in 1933. Gold Eagles are not intended for everyday circulation, but they remain legal tender in the United States. Their trusted gold weight, consistent quality, and long history have helped them stay popular with buyers who want precious metals as a hedge during uncertain times. Right now, certified 2026 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Coins are available at BGASC.
Highlights:
These 2026 1/2 oz American Gold Eagle Coins are perfect MS70 specimens. An MS70 grade indicates the coin has full mint luster, sharp strike detail, and no visible flaws. Each coin is also a First Strike issue, meaning it was submitted to PCGS and received for grading within 30 days of the Mints release.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2026 American Gold Eagle features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, a classic image first used on the $20 Double Eagle. The scene shows Liberty walking forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The Capitol building sits below, sun rays rise behind her, and stars frame the design along the rim.
Reverse
The reverse side of the 2026 1/2 oz Gold Eagle carries Jennie Norris bald eagle portrait, introduced in 2020. The close-up focus on the eagles head brings out realistic texture and a crisp, modern feel.
History
The 1/2 oz Gold Eagle has appeared from the West Point Mint and, in some years, other U.S. Mint locations, while proof versions offer a separate finish for collectors. Even though some years saw short production gaps, the 1/2 oz denomination remains a steady part of the broader Gold Eagle lineup. It is a middle-weight option that appeals to those who want a smaller gold coin without stepping down to fractional sizes.
