The American Platinum Eagle Coin Series
The American Platinum Eagle coin series, authorized by the United States Congress in 1996, stands as a highly esteemed collection that includes both bullion and proof coins. Introduced by the United States Mint, this program addresses the preferences of investors and collectors by offering a unique and valuable option beyond the conventional gold and silver coins. Initially, Platinum Eagle coins were issued 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 the U.S. Mint now exclusively releases 1 troy oz Platinum Eagles.

Proof Platinum Eagles have undergone annual transformations since 1998, and the designs consistently celebrate diverse facets of American history, art and culture. Noted for its purity, the Platinum Eagle series features coins crafted from .9995 fine platinum, establishing them as some of the most flawlessly pure platinum bullion coins globally. The program's sophisticated and varied designs, complemented by the precious metal's inherent value, make the Platinum Eagle series a remarkable and coveted addition to any numismatic or investment portfolio.

2024 Proof Platinum Eagles
Crafting proof coins involves a meticulous minting process designed to yield coins adorned with reflective surfaces and exquisite detailing. Commencing this artful journey, mint workers engage with specially treated coin blanks, undergoing careful polishing to achieve a smooth, mirror-like radiance. These refined blanks progress into presses featuring burnished dies, their matte treatment contributing to a frosted, sandblasted texture. The forceful strike of the dies onto the mirror-like blank ensures a captivating transformation, imprinting intricate details that create a coin boasting stunning contrasts between its detailed features and reflective surfaces.

To refine intricate details, proofs undergo multiple striking sessions, a process that distinguishes them from other coins. In contrast, standard coins are manufactured using dies with regular finishes, lacking any special effects. Catering to collectors, proof coins also undergo distinctive handling and receive special packaging.

Reflecting meticulous artistry, the PCGS PR-70 2024 1 oz Proof Platinum Eagles emphasize platinum's prestigious stature in a splendid collectible rendition of the coin. With rigorous mintage limits, flawless surfaces, and distinctive designs, the 2024 1 oz Proof Platinum Eagle stands as a more coveted and valuable option compared to the bullion release intended 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."

The 2024 Proof American Platinum Eagle coin, the fourth edition in its series, symbolizes the cherished value of Freedom to Assemble. Oak leaves grace the obverse alongside the inscribed message “WITH THE RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE LIBERTY SPREADS 2024,” a creation by Donna Weaver and sculpted by Joseph Menna. On the reverse, a majestic bald eagle soars gracefully, holding an olive branch in its talons.

First Day of Issue
In the unveiling of every new American Eagles series, PCGS ensures select coins as First Day of Issue. This confirmation verifies that the coins were promptly shipped from the U.S. Mint within the first day of its release, certifying its authenticity as a genuine representation of the initial launch. As the First Day of Issue designation is limited to a select subset of 2024 American Eagles dispatched on the release day, these coins often exhibit a smaller population, heightening their appeal and collectible value compared to other alternatives.
