The American platinum eagle was an official bullion coin of the United States, made with platinum and in 1 oz size, and it is the sole investment-quality size in platinum. The only platinum coin which is guaranteed by the U.S. government, in terms of weight, content and its purity, the U.S. Mint issued it in the year 1997 and gives the incomparable ratio of security and reliability to an investor. All coins that are 1 ounce of pure platinum at the highest degree of purity in the precious metals industry is 0.99955 fine. Flaunting the famous image of the Liberty Looking to the Future by the renowned John Mercanti, the American Platinum Eagle is not even merely a form of storage of value but a deep representation of the American ideals. This offering gives a cost advantage to possess this prestigious coin in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition of a random year of production, which makes it a core part of any diversified precious invention.
In 1986 the U.S. Mint introduced the revered American Eagle Program in form of gold and silver rarity coins that soon gained worldwide prominence as bullion investment formulas. The program was set to include the American Platinum Eagle in 1997, to form a complete fight of precious metals and provide another investment opportunity in a rare and economically important metal. It became an important event in the history of modern U.S. Mint collectables, as the Platinum Eagle became a must-have to any complete set of American bullion.
One of the distinct differences, which makes the Platinum Eagle so special in the context of American numismatics, is the design strategy. The bullion version has a regular and slightly fixed design, yet, the collectible proof versions have annually circulating designs that make the series very dynamic and terribly demanded by collectors. The bullion coin in this offering is a real asset with strong appreciation toward the pure platinum that the coin carries and the fact that this is a pillar of the American Eagle Program.
The obverse of the Platinum Eagle comprises a strong and proactive portrait of the Statue of Liberty a work of John Mercanti the 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. It is a very modern and intimate close-up, intending to pinpoint the face of Liberty symbolizing hope, freedom, and the promise of the nation as a whole. Mercanti is a giant in contemporary coins, also the creator of the Heraldic Eagle reverse of the American Silver Eagle, copied millions of times since 1986. His contribution to the Platinum Eagle also serves to solidify his legacy and design a more recognizable piece worthy of being discussed in the context of art.
The obverse was the artwork of U.S. Mint Sculptor-Engraver Thomas D. Rogers Sr., and represents a powerful bald eagle soaring in flight, in front of a rising sun. The picture, entitled soaring eagle over America is quite a powerful image, which brings forth the theme of power, peaceful approach and national pride. Of significance to investors and collectors of the entity, is the fact that this is a design that shall remain consistent and still, the same reverse on all the bullion-issue, American Platinum Eagles. It is thus differentiated with the special collector proof editions which have annual rotating designs.
Being the only platinum coin guaranteed by the American authority to be of this weight and .9995 of purity, the Platinum Eagle offers a level of security that no other can match. This has ensured that it is a safe-haven investment which is not the case with stock, bonds and other paper investments.
The investment case of Platinum is based on two basic pillars, the natural scarcity of the metal, and also it is demanded worldwide since it is irreplaceable in the contemporary industry. Gold is about 15-30 times rare than platinum in the earth crust; a fact that forms the basis of its intrinsic value over the long-term. In contrast to gold, whose coinage, investment and jewelry demand dominates the price dynamics, platinum price can be affected to a great extent by its industrial use. Some of the key industries and drivers of demand can be listed as:
Ratio of gold/platinum is an important relative value indicator that is calculated by dividing price of gold by price of platinum. Platinum used to command a high price in relation to gold, historically since it was both rare and greatly useful to industry. This relationship has flipped and is in the recent years that gold is trading at large premium in reference to platinum, which is historically abnormal. Many analysts see this elevated ratio as an indication that platinum is undervalued when compared to the gold, and a possible long-term value play on the part of investors.
The American Platinum Eagle satisfies the high .9995 purity standard required by the Internal Revenue Service so it can be used in a self-directed Precious Metals IRA in full. This means investors can include the physical platinum tax-benefited retirement savings investment to their portfolio.
The coins you are getting will be of any year of issue (1997-2008, 2014, 2016-Present) with your purchase, depending on what we have available. This so-called random year form is common with bullion products, the relative value of which is not based on the date, but on the precious metal composition. Doing this will enable us to sell these premium coins at the most competitive premium above the spot price of platinum. Whatever year you obtain, all of them are the same, legendary design, 1 troy ounce weight, and .9995 purity, all the same and assured by U.S. Mint.
The term Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) is a coin grading term, which defines that the coin has never been circulated in commerce and still contains its original luster of mint finish. The surfaces are clear and high, which indicates how they were placed when they left the mint. It should be mentioned that some flaws might be found on the surface of the BU coins, including contact marks or what is known as a bag marks that appear during the minting, bagging and transportation. These are not unusual to bullion coins and are not a demerit to uncirculated level.
