History

The United States Mint introduced the American Gold Eagle Coin series in 1987. But, it wasnt until 1988 that the Mint introduced the 1/10 oz weight denomination. Up until 1993, all fractional-ounce coins in the series were manufactured by the Philadelphia Mint. In 1994, the production of all weight denominations moved to the West Point Mint, where the one-ounce coins in this series were already being produced.
