{{/presale}}When reflecting upon the 1 oz Proof American Platinum Eagle coin, it is hard to overlook the remarkable impact of its 2009 release. This particular year not only initiated a captivating six-year design series but also symbolized a transformative period for the Platinum Eagle Series as a whole, setting the stage for a brand new era. Today, you have the opportunity to buy 2009-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Platinum Coins online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
In 2009, the United States Mint canceled every coin in the American Eagle Platinum Series, except these 1 oz proof coins. All four BU coins were suspended, with only the 1 oz coin later returning for good in 2016. None of the fractional-ounce coins have returned in proof or BU.
Obverse
John Mercanti’s artistic prowess shines through on the obverse of the 2009-W Proof Eagle 1 oz Platinum Coins, where a masterfully sculpted bust of the Statue of Liberty takes center stage. This particular design provides a captivating frontal view, allowing admirers to appreciate the exquisite details of the statue’s head. Inscriptions on this field include LIBERTY, E PLURIBUS UNUM, 2009, and IN GOD WE TRUST.
Reverse
A brilliant design is found on the reverse of the 2009-W Proof American Eagle Platinum Coins, where an elegant arch reveals four distinct faces. This exquisite design, serving as the first installment of the Preamble to the Constitution series, proudly portrays four female profiles on the left, representing the rich diversity encompassed within the United States. Inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, A MORE PERFECT UNION, 1 OZ. .9995 PLATINUM, $100, and the W mint mark.
History
In addition to the American Eagle Platinum obverse, John Mercanti is best known for designing the reverse side of the American Silver Eagle bullion coin, which features a heraldic eagle with a shield. His design has been used on the coin since its introduction in 1986 and has become one of the most recognized and iconic images in modern numismatics.
