PCGS PR-70
Before they are encapsulated, 2024 PCGS-graded Proof Platinum Eagles undergo a comprehensive assessment. PCGS, Professional Coin Grading Service, holds a reputation of excellence in numismatics. As a third-party coin grading service, PCGS holds a high standard for the assessment and certification of the authenticity and condition of coins, establishing unparalleled trust and confidence among collectors and investors.

Investing in a PCGS-graded American Eagle coin is a well-informed decision, representing a strategic investment in a rigorously authenticated asset. The PCGS encapsulation process plays a pivotal role in preserving the coin's condition and providing tangible assurance of authenticity and grade, fortifying the investment's integrity, and elevating its market appeal. PR-70 Proof coins show no visual marks and are flawless under magnification.

Advanced Release
Initiated in 2021, the U.S. Mint began the practice of providing early access to its latest numismatic offerings to a select group of distributors prior to the official launch date. Representing only a small percentage of the total mintage, these special coins are marked with the PCGS Advanced Release designation, attesting to their exclusive status. The limited supply of coins meeting these criteria, coupled with their unique origin, has contributed to their appeal among investors and coin collectors, infusing each new release with a distinctive sense of prestige.

The American Platinum Eagle Coin Series
The Platinum American Eagle coin series, sanctioned by the United States Congress in 1996, represents a collection of bullion and proof coins held in high esteem. Launched by the United States Mint, this program caters to investors and collectors seeking a distinctive and valuable alternative to the more conventional gold and silver coin options. Initially, Platinum Eagle coins were available in four denominations: $10 (1/10 oz), $25 (1/4 oz), $50 (1/2 oz) and $100 (1 oz), featuring diverse designs on the obverse and reverse sides. The fractional sizes were discontinued in 2008, and currently, the U.S. Mint exclusively issues 1 troy oz Platinum Eagles.

Recognized for its purity, the Platinum Eagle series features coins composed of .9995 fine platinum, solidifying its status as one of the most exceptionally pure platinum bullion coins in the world. The program's refined and diverse designs, complemented by the intrinsic value of the precious metal, establish the Platinum Eagle series as a distinguished and in-demand asset for any numismatic or investment portfolio.

2024 Proof Platinum Eagles
A unique minting process is employed to fashion proof coins, resulting in coins featuring gleaming surfaces and elaborate detailing. The commencement of this intricate journey involves mint craftsmen working with specially treated coin blanks, meticulously polished to attain a flawless, mirror-like luster. These refined blanks are then introduced into presses equipped with polished dies that have undergone a matte treatment, yielding a frosted, sandblasted aesthetic. The forceful impact of the dies on the mirror-like blank ensures the transfer of intricate details, creating a coin with striking contrasts between its detailed elements and reflective fields.

In the pursuit of heightened precision, proofs are subjected to multiple striking sequences to accentuate delicate details. In stark contrast, alternative coins are manufactured using dies sporting conventional finishes that produce no extraordinary effects. To further elevate their allure, proof coins undergo distinctive handling and are presented in specially curated packaging, catering to the preferences of collectors.

Exemplifying meticulous craftsmanship, the 2024 1 oz Proof Platinum Eagles accentuate the esteemed nature of platinum through a magnificent collectible iteration. Defined by strict mintage limits, impeccable surfaces, and unique designs, the 2024 1 oz Proof Platinum Eagle emerges as a more coveted and valuable option compared to the bullion release tailored for investors.

First Amendment Series
From 2021 to 2025, the Proof Platinum Eagle series will commemorate the five freedoms enshrined in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Marking the fourth release in the series, the 2024 Proof American Platinum Eagle coin embodies the theme of Freedom to Assemble. The obverse showcases oak leaves and the engraved phrase “WITH THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE LIBERTY SPREADS 2024.” The artistic vision comes from Donna Weaver, with Joseph Menna lending his sculpting expertise. Flip the coin, and the reverse reveals a magnificent bald eagle in mid-flight, clasping an olive branch.
