{{/presale}}When the United States Mint introduced the American Eagle Platinum Series in 1997, the BU and Proof coins were both available with fractional-ounce coins of 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz platinum. As of 2009, those weights are no longer available. Today, you have the opportunity to get near-perfect Proof American Eagle 1/2 oz Platinum Coins online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
From 1997 to 2008, the US Mint issued American Eagle Platinum Coins in BU and Proof with four weights. In 2009, all four BU coins were suspended and the fractional-ounce Proof coins were suspended. The 1 oz proof carried on over the years with the BU coin returning in 1 oz platinum in 2016.
Obverse
On the obverse of Proof American Eagle 1/2 oz Platinum Coins, you will find the image of the Statue of Liberty. This design visual shows Liberty in front-facing relief with inscriptions of LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the date mark.
Reverse
The reverse side of Proof American Eagle Platinum Coins comes with a depiction of the American bald eagle or other symbols of the United States of America. Inscriptions on this side will include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, .9995 PLATINUM 1/2 OZ, $50, and the W mint mark of the West Point Mint.
History
Fractional-ounce American Eagle Platinum Coins were only available in BU and Proof from 1997 to 2008, with new reverse designs each year.
