Why add this 1 oz. Platinum Eagle to your collection?
The United States Mint added the Platinum Eagle to the American Eagle Bullion Program in 1997. The coin is struck from 1 full Troy oz. of .9995 fine Platinum, with a diameter of 32.7mm, face value of $100, and a reported mintage of 14,790 coins. The 2011 Platinum Eagle, struck in proof format only, carries the "W" West Point Mint mark, and is eligible for precious metals IRAs.
The beauty of The Promise of American Ideals is depicted on this Platinum Proof.
The reverse, by Joel Iskowitz and Phebe Hemphill, illustrates the concept "To Insure Domestic Tranquility", in the Platinum Eagle design series dedicated to the concepts of American democracy outlined in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution. An exquisitely detailed harvest goddess steps forward from a wheat field, reaching for a landing dove, symbolizing the fulfillment of tranquility. "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "1 oz. .9995 PLATINUM," "$100," and a bald eagle privy mark frame the image. The obverse features a magnificent sculpture of the Statue of Liberty, designed by John Mercanti, with inscriptions "LIBERTY," "2011," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
