The value of an American Eagle gold coin depends on several factors, including its year of mintage, its condition or grade, and the current market price of gold. The American Eagle gold coin is typically produced in four sizes: 1/10 ounce, 1/4 ounce, 1/2 ounce, and 1 ounce. Each size has a different face value, with the 1/10 ounce size having a face value of $5. However, the intrinsic value of the coin is based on its gold content. The American Eagle gold coins are made of 22-karat gold, with a gold purity of 91.67%. The remaining composition is copper and silver, which gives the coin durability and a distinctive reddish color.

It's also worth noting that there may be additional premiums or markups associated with buying or selling the coin, depending on the dealer and market conditions.
