Why You Should Own the First Legal Tender
Platinum Coins in United States History!

As the history of American minted, legal tender coinage unfolds, 1997 will be viewed as a watershed year, marking the very first time the U.S. Government minted and issued legal tender coins made of .9995 pure platinum.

This reason alone makes the Platinum American Eagles absolutely essential additions to any legitimate collection of United States coins. However, this is only one of many reasons that the Platinum Eagles are considered perhaps one of the most collectible coins in United States history.

• In 2004, the already rare Platinum Eagles made history again as the United States Mint unveiled a new reverse design on the coins, effectively establishing the issues from 1997 – 2003 as Type I Platinum Eagles, and the coins minted beginning in 2004 as Type II.
• Like the rare precious metal from which they are minted, the Platinum Eagles are also, by mintage, among the rarest coins ever minted in U.S. history.
• These historic and exquisitely crafted platinum coins are available in four denominations, including $10, $25, $50, and the historic $100 Platinum Eagle, the highest denomination U.S. legal tender coin in U.S. Mint history.
• Due to their relative rarity with the Platinum Eagle family, the $25 and $50 Platinum Eagles have long been among our Select 4 picks of the most collectible United States coins.
• The United States Government guarantees the weight and .9995 pure platinum content of each American Platinum Eagle denomination.
• Like their Gold and Silver counterparts, the American Platinum Eagles are legally classified as “numismatic” and approved by the United States Congress as legally qualified investment coins through your personal IRA plan.
• Their portability, universal liquidity, and government-guaranteed status make the American Platinum Eagles the perfect platinum asset for your family’s estate.
• With the price of platinum soaring in today’s markets, prices for Platinum Eagles may never be this low again.
