1997 $100 Platinum Eagle Replica Archival Edition

Introduced in 1997 as an extension of the American Eagle Bullion Coin program, the $100 Platinum Eagle Bullion Coin has the highest face value of any coin ever minted in U.S. history. However, as abullion coin, its actual value is determined by the current value of its platinum content - and at today's high platinum prices, these coins can cost thousands of dollars each. As the only platinum bullion coin minted in the U.S., its design reflects the patriotism and spirit of freedom that can only be found in America. Displaying a portrait of the Statue of Liberty, the obverse of the PlatinumAmerican Eagle celebrates this symbol of freedom recognized by people all over the world. While the obverse has remained the same since its release, the reverse changes each year - this makes the Platinum Eagles unique as the only U.S. bullion coins that change every year.

Meticulously reproduced from the first edition of the platinum bullion coin minted by the U.S. government, this AMERICAN MINT EXCLUSIVE coin is luxuriously layered in .9995 pure platinum! Minted to the highest quality "Proof" standard, it comes in our NumiShield Archival Case to preserve its glorious luster for future generations.
