The American Platinum Eagle was re-introduced in 2014 after a 5 year hiatus.

Authorized by the US Congress in 1996 and first issued in 1997, the Platinum Eagle is the first and only official investment-grade platinum coin from the United States Government.

Each of these coins are graded as MS 69, which is next to perfect on the scale to 70. The coins are graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), a world class third party coin grader.  These coins are thus of very high quality, almost without any blemishes.

The production level of Platinum is a mere 6% of gold production which makes Platinum rare and valuable. 

The 1 oz American Platinum Eagle is legal tender at USD $100 which is the highest ever to to appear on a U.S. coin.
