This stunning one ounce Platinum Proof Eagle coin, minted in 2018, is a fine example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the United States Mint. The term 'proof' denotes that the coin has smooth, reflective and potentially mirror-like 'fields' (the blank areas not part of the coin's design).
The obverse features an intricate design that represents the theme of 'Life,' part of a broader series celebrating the ideals of liberty. An elegantly posed female figure, representing Liberty, is depicted holding a young child. Together, they sow seeds across an expansive landscape, symbolizing the nourishing of life and the potential for growth and prosperity. Above them, the classic American mottoes 'E PLURIBUS UNUM,' 'IN GOD WE TRUST,' and the word 'LIBERTY' affirm the coin's patriotic ideals, while the year of mintage, '2018,' is inscribed at the bottom.
Turning to the reverse, you'll find the iconic bald eagle soaring in flight, a powerful symbol of freedom and the United States’ national bird. The eagle's wings are outstretched in full span, detailed to perfection, emphasizing strength and resilience. Above the eagle is the inscription 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,' and the denomination of '$100' indicating its legal tender value. Below the eagle, the coin states its metal content as '.9995 PLATINUM 1 OZ.' The presence of the 'W' mint mark indicates that this superb piece was struck at the famous West Point Mint, known for producing high-quality collector coins.
This coin not only holds value for its one ounce of 99.95% pure platinum but is also cherished for its symbolic representations and collectible status. It is truly a prized possession for those with an appreciation for American heritage and the art of coinage. Whether as an addition to a collection or as a standalone piece, this coin pays tribute to the enduring values and aspirations of a nation.
