1/10 oz American Platinum Eagle Proof Coin - Random Years

The US Mint introduced the first Platinum Eagle in 1997 as the United States’ first and official platinum coin.

Boosted by the credibility of the US Mint, Platinum Eagles soon found their fans among collectors who appreciate versatility in coins and investors who want diversity in an investment portfolio that already has silver and gold coins. 

The 1/10 oz is the smallest fractional platinum coin the US Mint produced as part of the American Eagles program. All fractional American Platinum Eagles were discontinued in 2008, so this is your chance to complete your collection with these proof version coins.

Coin Highlights

• Contains 1/10 oz of .9995 fine platinum in a proof finish;
• The smallest fractional Platinum Eagle, which was discontinued in 2008;
• Bears a denomination of USD 10, guaranteed by the US Government;
• The obverse showcases the Statue of Liberty in a frontal close-up;
• The reverse features the Bald Eagle in themed yearly alternating depictions.

The Platinum Eagle Designs

The series premiered with a John Mercanti depiction of the Statue of Liberty on the obverse in a frontal close-up. Part of the rising arm which holds the torch is noticeable in the image. The inscription “LIBERTY” arches over the image, while the year of issue and the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” are aside. Finally, the second motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM” is on the bottom rim.

Platinum Eagles Proof Coins are the only ones from the American Eagle coin program with alternating yearly reverse designs and, from 1998 on, different themes as well.

The reverse-themed designs included creations of Thomas D. Rogers, Al Maletsky, Donna Weaver, Joel Iskowitz, and Tom Cleveland.

Despite the theme variation, the W mint mark for the West Point Mint, the inscription “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” the face value of $10, the weight “1/10 oz.”, and the platinum content “.9995 PLATINUM” are present in every edition.

Vistas of Liberty: From 1998 to 2002, the reverse designs depicted the bald eagle soaring over different landscapes from varied regions of the United States. 

Foundations of Democracy: From 2006 to 2008, the reverse designs celebrated the three branches of government.
