Popular 1/10 oz Gold Coins for Sale on Provident Metals

Many sovereign mints around the world produce gold bullion coins. However, the price of gold often pushes their standard 1 oz coins out of reach for a large portion of potential buyers and investors.

So, several top mints release gold coins with only fractions of an ounce of gold. Of these “fractional” coins, the size most common to appear as the smallest in the collection is the 1/10 oz variety.

Provident offers 1/10 oz gold coins from these top sovereign mints. So, this page is a rundown on what you will find in our selection from all the different mints around the world.

• United States Mint: The US Mint is one of the best-known sovereign mints in the world. Its bullion coins are perennial favorites for investors and collectors, especially in the US. The US Mint produces two bullion coin series – the Eagles and the Buffalos. The only 1/10 oz coin of the bunch is the 1/10 oz Gold Eagle, but you can also find a 1/10 oz gold version of the Mercury dime.
• Royal Canadian Mint: The Royal Canadian Mint, or RCM, was the first sovereign mint to issue a competing bullion coin to the South African Krugerrand when it introduced the Maple Leaf in 1979. However, the RCM didn’t truly establish its place in the market until three years later, when it began producing the Maple Leaf in .9999 purity – the highest ever at the time. Currently, it produces three 1/10 oz coins: the Maple Leaf, the Bald Eagle, and the Polar Bear.
• Perth Mint (Australia): The Perth Mint is the sovereign mint that produces bullion coinage for Australia. Its two bullion coin series, the Kangaroos and the Lunars, are favorites of collectors around the globe. The mint produces 1/10 oz versions of both product lines, and each is minted in .9999 gold.
• Royal Mint (Great Britain): Great Britain’s Royal Mint is the second-oldest sovereign mint on Earth. Its operations reach all the way back to the 9th century. As such, it is also one of the most venerable producers of bullion coins. However, even though the Royal Mint has an incredibly diverse group of product lines, its only production in the 1/10 oz weight is its signature coin, the Britannia.
• Casa de Moneda de México (Mexico): The Casa de Moneda de México is the sovereign mint for the country of Mexico. Its primary product is the Libertad, which is a prized piece for many investors due to its scarcity. The CMM makes fewer coins each year than most sovereign mints, and there have been years without any production at all. So, a 1/10 oz gold Libertad is a fine addition to any coin collection, if only for its rarity and novelty.
• Münze Österreich (Austria): The Münze Österreich is the sovereign mint of Austria. The mint’s top product, the Philharmonic, is well-known for its unique design. Suffice to say that it is the only major coin series to pay homage to musical instruments. It also provides a highly-pure .9999 fine coin in a variety of weights, including 1/10 oz.
• South African Mint Company: Last but not least, the South African Mint Company produces the world-famous Krugerrand in several different weights, including a 1/10 oz version. The Krugerrand will always be the pioneering bullion coin in the world, with its first pressing and release occurring back in 1967. Even though it has been subject to bans and disuse due to some of South Africa’s government policies at times, it is likely the best-known bullion coin series in the entire world.

Every mint listed above has other denominations of its gold coinage available.

Benefits of Investing in 1/10 Ounce Gold Coins

Buying any amount of gold bears a list of benefits to the buyer. It allows you to hedge against downturns in the economy and add diversity to your portfolio.

Furthermore, buying gold coins mostly exempts you from any questions about authenticity. Any gold coin, unless it is an outright forgery, comes with a certified gold content and design.

However, there are several benefits that are the exclusive province of 1/10 oz gold coins. The biggest one, of course, is the cost – a 1/10 oz gold coin is the cheapest sovereign bullion coin that most mints produce. Thus, there are many more potential buyers who can purchase them, including those who wish to gift a genuine gold coin.

Here are some of the other benefits:

• Storage and transport – Because 1/10 oz coins are physically smaller and lighter than most gold coins, they are necessarily easier to store. Buyers can save money in their choice of storage receptacle, be it a lockbox, safe deposit box, or vault.
• Bulk purchase options – The size and cost of 1/10 oz coins lend themselves to easy bulk purchasing options. You can buy tubes with as many as 50 coins at one time, and the overall price is not much more than a half-dozen full-size coins. It’s still a significant investment, but not the house-sized cost of buying 1 oz coins in bulk.
• Variants – 1/10 oz coins sometimes allow mints to produce versions of other coins that are typically reserved for silver or otherwise not made. Canada usually issues its Bald Eagle in silver, and its 1/10 oz coin is the only gold version of this design. Both Malta and the Falkland Islands issue unique coinage in only two weights: 1 oz and 1/10 oz. So, you might be able to find some different coinage than you would with other weights.
