2026 NGC MS-70 FIRST30™ 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Coin

2026 NGC MS-70 FIRST30™ 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Coin 

The U.S. Gold Eagle lineup features a wide-ranging selection of gold coins. Each year, the U.S. Mint strikes Gold Eagles in multiple sizes and finishes, including the 1/4 oz gold bullion version.

The 1/4 oz Gold Eagle is a $10 coin and is legal tender in the United States. It contains a full quarter troy ounce of gold, alloyed with copper to enhance strength and durability.

These specific coins are included in SD Bullion’s exclusive MintCertified™ program. Through the MintCertified™ FIRST30™ initiative, developed in collaboration with NGC, each coin is guaranteed to have been delivered in original, unopened, tamper-evident mint tubes within the first 30 days following release. The sealed tubes were opened only at an NGC facility, where every coin was individually evaluated and graded, earning the FIRST30™ designation.

Today, SD Bullion sells 2026 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle Coins certified by NGC as MS-70 FIRST30™ samples.

An NGC MS-70 Coin

NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) uses the Sheldon Grading Scale to evaluate and attribute grades to coins.

MS stands for Mint State, indicating a coin crafted in the format of a business circulation coin. Since it has never been in circulation, the coin shows no wear, tear, or scratches, earning it a 70 grade.
