"An eagle is a $10 coin. Assuming you are referring to the $5 coin, these weighed about 8.25 gm. For comparison purposes, a modern Sacajawea or Presidential dollar coin weighs 8.1 gm."

[Improvement - more specific answer]

Sorry but I think the poster was probably asking about a modern $5 face value Gold Eagle bullion coin which contains 1/10th Troy ounce( or about 3.11 grams) of gold.

The US Mint produces the "Eagles" in 4 different weights

  • 1/10th oz American Eagle ($5 face value) coin - 16.5mm in diameter

  • 1/4th oz American Eagle ($10 face value) coin - 22mm in diameter

  • 1/2 ounce American Eagle ($25 face value) coin - 27mm in diameter

  • 1 ounce American Eagle ($50 face value) coin - 32.7mm in diameter
