Proof Platinum Eagle - In Cap or Slab

The Proof Platinum American Eagle, issued by the U.S. Mint since 1997, is a standout in the world of precious metals. Struck in .9995 fine platinum and offered in various denominations, these coins combine artistic excellence with precious metal purity. Whether housed in a protective capsule (in cap) or graded and sealed in a slab, each coin showcases the bold design, high relief, and frosted proof finish that define this series.

Design Insight:

The Proof Platinum Eagle series is the only U.S. coin program with an annually changing reverse. Themes have included "Foundations of Democracy," "Vistas of Liberty," and "Preamble to the Constitution." These evolving motifs make each year's coin a one-of-a-kind collector's piece.

Collector Note:

Whether preserved in a raw mint capsule or professionally graded and encapsulated, Proof Platinum Eagles offer numismatic beauty, rarity, and platinum value in one timeless form. These coins are especially desirable for collectors building complete yearly sets or seeking hard-to-find low-mintage pieces.
