Why add this brilliant uncirculated 2017 $100 American Platinum Eagle 1 oz. coin to your collection?
The American Eagle Bullion Program was expanded by the U.S. Mint in 1997 with the launch of the American Platinum Eagle series. Following the theme of the established American Eagle gold and silver series, the platinum coin is a celebration of American liberty and freedom. Throughout the life of the series, the imagery of the bullion releases has consistently showcased the design of the inaugural release. While the proof coins usually featured an annually changing reverse image, for the 20th anniversary release of the series in 2017, both the proof and bullion coins featured the original 1997 design.
- This 2017 American Platinum Eagle coin contains 1 Troy oz. of .9995 fine platinum.
- The one hundred dollar denomination coin is legal tender of the United States.
- The bullion coin measures 32.70 mm in diameter.
- Final mintage is reported to be 20,000 pieces.
Gorgeously Detailed Patriotic Imagery
Obverse: Featured on the obverse is a forward facing rendition of the Statue of Liberty, with the word “LIBERTY” interspersed with the seven spokes of her radiate style crown. Additional inscriptions include “2017″ and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” with “E PLURIBUS UNUM” curving near the edge of Ms. Liberty’s upraised arm. This interpretation of the statue was designed by John Mercanti, the currently retired 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint.
Reverse: An eagle is depicted majestically soaring above the earth on the reverse, as a stylized sun crests the horizon. The wildlife image is accompanied by the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “.9995 PLATINUM 1 OZ.” and “$100.” The design symbolizing the free spirit of the United States was created by Thomas D. Rodgers Sr., an accomplished coin and medal designer/sculptor for the U.S. Mint from 1991 until 2001.
