American Platinum Eagles are struck
yearly as both uncirculated (mint state) and proof pieces. Mint
state Platinum Eagles feature matte fields and slightly mirrored
devices. Proof Platinum Eagles are standard proofs with deep
mirrored fields and frosty devices. A reverse proof (frosty
fields and deep mirrored devices) was struck in 2007 to honor
the 10th Anniversary of the Platinum Eagle program. |

The American Platinum Eagle is the
official platinum bullion coin of the United States. The coins were
first released by the United States Mint in 1997. It is offered in 1/10,
1/4, 1/2, and 1 troy oz varieties and consists of .9995 fine platinum.
The American Platinum Eagle is authorized by the United States Congress
and is backed by the United States Mint for weight and content.
Proof and uncirculated
versions of the coins are also made for coin collectors. The proof and
uncirculated American Platinum Eagles are unique in the fact that they
are the only U.S. bullion coins that have a yearly alternating design on
the reverse.
Because it may be
considered commodity platinum rather than a rare coin, the American
Platinum Eagle may be placed in an Individual Retirement Account in the
United States. Collectibles such as rare coins and dolls are forbidden
from being held in such an account. Thus, the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission believes that the Platinum Eagle will not
appreciate beyond its metal value. Learn more about Platinum
