Platinum American Eagles For Collecting And Investing
Made available to the public in 1997, by the U. S. Mint was the American Platinum Eagles, the official coin of the United States. The coin contains. 9995 platinum. The sizes for sale include 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 troy ounce. Backed the by U. S. Mint, Congress also sanctioned the coin.
Coin collectors can buy uncirculated coins called proof coins. The proof coins have graphics that change each year.
In 1986, Augustus Saint-Gaudens depiction of Liberty was chosen to be the design to appear on the coin. His design was originally used in 1907 on the $20 gold piece and remained in use until 1933. American Eagle Silver Coins are manufactured and sold in proof and bullion. The coins have always depicted a version of Adolph A. Weinman's glorious Walking Liberty motif. The motif was created for use on the Nation's first half dollar in 1916.
From 1998 to 2002 the proof styles of the American Platinum Eagle used designs from the Vistas of Liberty program. As always, the bald eagle appeared on each but with each year, the eagle was shown to be in a different area of the United States. Then came the three year series that ran from 2006 to 2008. The designs were known as the The Foundations of Democracy and represented the branches of government. Each denomination has the yearly design on it. These are the only U. S. Bullion coins that change reverse designs each year.
Proof styles of all coins can be bought through the United States Mint. There are certain procedures that collector coins go through to be minted. Blank coins are placed in a press that has pigments made specifically for these coins. After the coins have been hit a couple of times to bring out the design, the design then takes on the appearance of floating over a mirror like surface. Once that is done, the coins are inspected and placed in plastic. They are then mounted in display cases with the Certificate of Authenticity included in the case. Each coin is promised to be the exact same as the next.
The United States Mint decided to add another American Eagle family to the coin collection in 2006. These are the uncirculated coins.
The uncirculated coins come in one size only, one troy ounce. All the other American Eagle Uncirculated Coins can be purchased in different sizes.
These coins are put through the exact same process as proof coins are but, they are stamped with a W. The W shows that the coin was minted at the West Point location.
These coins have their good and bad sides to them. They can be placed in IRA accounts because they are considered commodities due to their metal content. Rare coins are not normally allowed to be placed in investment accounts, but because they are valued on the metal content, collector coins themselves are not expected to increase in value. - 23305
