About This Coin
The American Platinum Eagle contains 1 troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum. First minted in 1997, it is the only US platinum bullion coin and carries a $100 face value — the highest denomination of any US bullion coin. It weighs 31.12 grams.
Platinum Eagles are produced in much smaller quantities than Gold or Silver Eagles, making them scarcer on the secondary market. Annual mintages typically range from 5,000-20,000 coins compared to millions for gold and silver versions. This lower supply combined with the niche platinum market means premiums can be volatile.
The proof versions feature a different reverse design each year (the 'Vistas of Liberty' series), making them popular with collectors. Bullion versions maintain a consistent design. Platinum Eagles are IRA-eligible and represent one of the most accessible ways to invest in physical platinum.
