The 2017 Palladium American Eagle BU marks the historic debut of the U.S. Mint's first-ever palladium bullion coin. Struck in 1 troy ounce of .9995 fine palladium and released in limited quantities, this coin is an essential milestone for both bullion investors and modern coin collectors. As the inaugural issue in the Palladium Eagle series, it carries significant numismatic and historical appeal.
Collector Insight:
As the premier issue of the Palladium Eagle series, the 2017 BU coin is a foundational modern collectible. It combines the beauty of classic American coin artistry with the rarity of palladium as a precious metal. With limited mintage and immediate popularity upon release, the 2017 Palladium Eagle remains a key-date anchor for serious collectors and investors seeking diversification with a modern U.S. Mint product.
