1/10 oz American Platinum Eagle Coin (BU)

The American Platinum Eagle is the only platinum coin struck by the United States Mint and carries the full backing of the U.S. government for weight, content, and purity. The 1/10 oz denomination offers an accessible entry point into government-issued platinum, with a $10 face value and .9995 fine platinum content — the same specifications and legal tender status as its larger counterparts in the series.

Key Features:

• Purity and weight: 1/10 troy ounce, .9995 fine platinum
• Metal type: Platinum
• Face value: $10 USD — legal tender of the United States
• Obverse design: Close-up portrait of the Statue of Liberty facing forward, her spiked crown filling the upper field, inscribed with “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the year “1997”
• Reverse design: Bald eagle in full flight soaring above a rising sun, inscribed with “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “.9995 PLATINUM,” and “1/10 oz.”
• Condition: Brilliant Uncirculated (BU)

The obverse presents the Statue of Liberty in an unusually intimate composition. Rather than a full or profile view, the portrait fills the coin face-on, Liberty’s crowned head centered with her radiating spikes extending toward the rim. The facial features and the layered folds of her crown are struck with strong definition. “LIBERTY” arcs across the top, the date “1997” appears to the right of the portrait, and “IN GOD WE TRUST” sits below it — all cleanly legible against a smooth field.

The reverse depicts a bald eagle in level flight, wings fully extended with individual feathers delineated across the entire span. Below the bird, rising sun rays spread outward from the lower field, giving the composition a sense of forward momentum. “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” runs along the upper arc, with “.9995 PLATINUM” and “1/10 oz.” to the right of the eagle, and the denomination “$10” at the bottom rim.

First issued in 1997, the American Platinum Eagle was the first platinum bullion coin authorized by the U.S. Congress and remains the standard against which other government platinum coins are measured. Brilliant Uncirculated examples show no wear, with full original mint luster intact.
