American Platinum Eagle BU, 1‑oz .9995 fine U.S. Mint platinum bullion coin with Liberty and soaring eagle designs
The American Platinum Eagle is the official platinum bullion coin of the United States, giving investors a 1‑oz, .9995 fine platinum coin fully backed by the U.S. Mint for weight, content, and purity.
Introduced in 1997, the 1‑oz Platinum Eagle carries a $100 legal‑tender face value and contains one troy ounce of platinum, making it the highest‑denomination American Eagle bullion coin. The obverse shows John Mercanti’s “Liberty Looking to the Future” close‑up of the Statue of Liberty, while the reverse features Thomas D. Rogers’ soaring eagle over a rising sun, with inscriptions for the United States of America, .9995 platinum fineness, 1‑oz weight, and $100 denomination.
Because American Platinum Eagles combine high platinum purity, classic U.S. designs, and the reassurance of sovereign backing, they are a primary choice for investors who want to diversify beyond gold and silver into a rarer white metal with strong industrial and investment demand.
