The 1/10 oz size is easy to carry in your pocket and can be used for trade and barter. Fractional sizes are popular with both investors and collectors who want to own many different popular brand name bullion coins like the American Eagle. Fractional American Eagles are exempt from VAT in the European Union. Investors and collectors need to understand that fractional sized American Eagles will carry a higher premium than the 1 oz version. This is because the cost structure for minting smaller coins is higher. The 2017 1/10 oz Gold American Eagle depicts the famous image of Lady Liberty on the front of the coin. The Image of “Lady Liberty” first appeared on the $20 Double Eagle Gold coin. President Roosevelt sought to redesign American coinage and commissioned sculptor Augustus-Saint Gaudens, who created the design featuring Lady Liberty in 1907. Saint- Gaudens died in 1907 after designing the Double Eagle and before the coin was finalized for production. To this day the $20 Gold Double Eagle is considered by many to be the most beautiful US coin ever produced. The Double Eagle was minted between 1907-1933.
