American Eagle Ten Dollar Platinum 1997 to Date

About This Series

As the smallest denomination in the American Platinum Eagle program, the ten-dollar tenth-ounce coin provides an affordable gateway to platinum bullion ownership. The obverse features John Mercanti's Statue of Liberty portrait — exclusive to the platinum program and distinct from the gold and silver eagle series. Bullion versions carry Thomas D. Rogers Sr.'s soaring eagle reverse, while proof versions have featured annually changing reverse designs since 1998, making proof platinum eagles one of the most design-rich modern programs. Each coin contains one-tenth troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum with a ten-dollar legal tender face value. The platinum program's multiple denominations allow participation across various price points, with the tenth-ounce as the most accessible tier. Proof versions are struck at West Point with frosted cameo designs against mirror fields. The annually rotating proof reverse designs have explored themes from Vistas of Liberty to the Preamble to the Constitution, creating a rewarding subcollection for year-by-year collectors.
