About US Platinum Eagle
The official platinum bullion coin of the United States. The only US bullion coin available in 1/10 oz through 1 oz sizes. The reverse design changes annually, making each year unique. Platinum is rarer than gold but less valuable per ounce. The US Mint was the first to offer a platinum bullion coin program. The proof versions have different designs from the bullion versions.
