American Platinum Eagles
The American Platinum Eagle coin, initially minted in 1987, is the first and only official investment-grade platinum coin from the U.S. Mint. All American Eagles are legal tender coins with their “face value” imprinted in U.S. dollars but the one-oz Platinum Eagle coin displays the highest face value ever to appear on a U.S. coin — $100 dollars. This coin is extremely popular with investors and collectors who find the coin’s beauty and the purity guarantee of the U.S. Mint irresistible. 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.
