Platinum Coins 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. Beginning in 2009, the United States Mint will introduce a new six-year platinum coin program. This new series explores the core concepts of American democracy by highlighting the Preamble of the United States Constitution. This program will examine the six (6) principles of the Preamble as follows: 2009-- To Form a More Perfect Union, 2010-- To Establish Justice, 2011-- To Insure Domestic Tranquility, 2012-- To Provide for the Common Defence, 2013-- To Promote General Welfare, and 2014-- To Secure the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and our Posterity.   The themes for the reverse designs for this program are inspired by narratives prepared by the Chief Justice of the United States, John G. Roberts, Jr., at the request of the United States Mint. Market Value Coin pricing will move up or down with the daily price of gold. The spot price of gold (and all precious metals) is reported every business day in all major newspapers, television, radio and various websites.
