Platinum Bullion
America’s First Platinum Investment Coin
The American Platinum Eagle became the nation’s first investment-grade platinum coin when it launched in 1997, following authorization under the Bullion Coin Act of 1985. Its introduction marked a major milestone for U.S. precious-metal offerings and quickly established the coin as a trusted option for both investors and collectors.
Design, Purity, and Industrial Demand
Featuring Liberty on the obverse and annually changing reverse designs inspired by American heritage, the Platinum Eagle is struck in .9995 fine platinum and backed by the U.S. government for weight and purity. Platinum’s value extends beyond bullion—its corrosion resistance makes it essential in catalytic converters, medical devices, jewelry, and emerging clean-energy technologies. With most global supply coming from South Africa and Russia, market disruptions often influence pricing.
A Modern Classic for Collectors and Investors
U.S. platinum coins offer limited mintages, strong design variety, and long-term asset appeal. Collectors often prefer sealed or certified examples, with one-ounce coins prized for their balance of liquidity and value. The Platinum Eagle’s durability, artistry, and consistent purity have made it a modern classic—equally suited for portfolio diversification or as a standout piece in any precious-metal collection.
Gold and silver have been king and queen of metals for centuries. Today, they are joined by platinum and palladium in the precious metals arena. They are traded in the form of bars, rounds and ingots, tangible assets you can see and touch.
