The American Platinum Eagle coin, initially minted in 1987, is the first and only official investment-grade platinum
coin from the U.S. Mint. All American Eagles are legal tender coins with their “face value” imprinted in U.S. dollars but
the one-oz Platinum Eagle coin displays the highest face value ever to appear on a U.S. coin -- $100 dollars. This coin
is extremely popular with investors and collectors who find the coin’s beauty and the purity guarantee of the U.S. Mint
irresistible. The obverse depicts the head of America’s symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty and the reverse shows an
American Eagle soaring high above the earth.

Though not in current production, this high-quality pure platinum coin from The Royal Canadian Mint remains in high
demand. Discontinued because of the recent scarcity of high-grade platinum minting blanks, the coins were minted in 1
oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz. The traditional national symbol of Canada, The Maple Leaf, appears on the
obverse of the coin with the sculpture of Queen Elizabeth II on the reverse. The coins are a source of instant liquidity
and can sometimes be found in after-market trading. Although they are scarce, our traders are sometimes able to obtain
them. Investors and collectors should call our trading desk for availability.
