Description

The 2014 (W) Proof American Eagle One Hundred Dollar Platinum is a proof platinum coin struck at the West Point Mint, part of the American Eagle One Hundred Dollar Platinum 1997 to Date series. With a mintage of 4,596, this is a rare issue — the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. The obverse features the Statue of Liberty facing forward (1997-2017), then rotating designs and the reverse displays an eagle soaring over the sunrise (1997 bullion), with proof versions featuring annually rotating designs based on Constitutional and patriotic themes. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields and frosted design elements prized by collectors. Struck at the West Point Mint, originally a bullion depository that became a full coin production facility, specializing in commemorative and bullion issues. Estimated market value is approximately $3.7K. Struck in 99.95% platinum, weighing 31.11 grams, 32.7 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #528085.
