The American Eagle Platinum
The American Eagle Platinum coin is popular with investors and collectors who find the coin’s beauty and the purity guarantee of the U.S. Mint irresistible. All American Eagles have a U.S. Dollar face value imprinted, authenticating them as official U.S. tender. The one ounce platinum coin displays the highest face value ($100) ever to appear on a U.S. coin. Their value to investors is not in their face value, however, but in their platinum content.
U.S. Government Guarantee
The American Eagle platinum is unique in that it is the only platinum bullion coin whose weight, content, and purity is backed by the United States Government. Since they require no assaying, these coins have instant liquidity, and can be easily converted to cash at any time.

Platinum Eagle Design & Background
The obverse depicts the head of America’s symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty and the reverse shows an American Eagle soaring high above the earth. A welcome addition to your precious metal portfolio.
John M. Mercanti designed the obverse of the U.S. platinum bullion coins using the head of the Statue of Liberty. The metal content of each denomination consists of 99.95% pure platinum. Mintmarks appear on the reverse, but positions vary from year to year; coins have been struck at the Philadelphia and West Point mints.
