Proof American Platinum Eagle is an official Platinum bullion coin of the United States. The American Eagle Series is by and large the most desirable and highly sought after gold coin created by the U.S. Mint. These regal coins feature a rendition of John Mercantis depiction of Lady Liberty using the Statue of Liberty for design inspiration with a focus on the face of Lady Liberty as she looks out over the sea towards the horizon as a new day begins.
The coins have the inscriptions of Liberty, a date mark, the United States of America national motto, and E Pluribus Unum. The Proof Platinum Eagle is complete with the mint issued box and certificate of authenticity. The Platinum Eagles were introduced in 1997, and come only in a 1 troy ounce coin that contains .9995 fine platinum. The Platinum American Eagle coin is very popular with investors, and may be used to fund Individual Retirement Account investments.
