Description
The American Platinum Eagle is the official platinum bullion coin of the United States. First introduced in 1997, the coins are struck continually in bullion and proof versions for both investors and collectors to covet.
The American Platinum Eagle debuted in 1997 when the United States Mint released a bullion and proof version of the coin. The coin is made available each year in a 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz weight.
American Platinum Eagle coins are unique in that they are the only bullion coins from the United States Mint to feature new designs on an annual basis. The reverse image of the Platinum Eagle has changed every year since 1998. In fact, 1997 was the only year in which the bullion and proof versions of the coin featured the same designs.
