American Platinum Eagle 1 oz Coin (BU)

The American Platinum Eagle is the official platinum bullion coin of the United States, struck by the U.S. Mint since 1997 and backed by the highest face value ever placed on a U.S. coin. Each random-year piece contains 1 troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum, carries a $100 face value, and arrives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, giving investors a government-guaranteed route into a metal rarer than gold.

Key Features:

• Contains 1 troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum
• Official U.S. legal tender with a $100 face value, the highest ever struck on U.S. coinage
• Obverse: John Mercanti’s close-up portrait of the Statue of Liberty
• Reverse: a bald eagle soaring above the rising sun

The obverse presents John Mercanti’s portrait of the Statue of Liberty in tight close-up, her face framed by the seven rays of her crown and rendered with a directness no circulating coin ever attempted. LIBERTY spans the top of the design, E PLURIBUS UNUM follows the left rim beside her raised arm, and IN GOD WE TRUST sits in the right field with the date. Mercanti, the Mint’s twelfth Chief Engraver, designed the coin as a portrait of freedom seen eye to eye.

The reverse carries Thomas D. Rogers’ rendering of a bald eagle in flight, wings stretched across the full width of the coin as it crosses a sunrise, the sun’s rays fanning up from the horizon line below. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA stacks across the top, .9995 PLATINUM 1 OZ. marks the right field, and the $100 denomination anchors the bottom curve.

Each coin measures 32.7 mm across with a reeded edge and is IRA-eligible at .9995 fineness. Dates are of our choosing based on inventory, and coins may ship loose, in flips, or in original Mint tubes depending on quantity.

Platinum trades at a fraction of its historical ratio to gold, and the Platinum Eagle is the most liquid way for U.S. investors to hold it. Order your random-year 1 oz American Platinum Eagle from Hero Bullion today and add America’s platinum coin to your holdings.
