About This Coin

The 1998 American Eagle One Hundred Dollar Platinum is a United States platinum coin from the American Eagle One Hundred Dollar Platinum 1997 to Date series. The obverse features the Statue of Liberty facing forward (1997-2017), then rotating designs, while the reverse displays an eagle soaring over the sunrise (1997 bullion), with proof versions featuring annually rotating designs based on Constitutional and patriotic themes. Designed by John M. Mercanti/Thomas D. Rogers. Struck in 99.95% platinum, weighing 31.12 grams, 32.7 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. The American Platinum Eagle has been the official platinum bullion coin of the United States since 1997. It is the only U.S. bullion coin to feature annually rotating designs on its proof reverse, making the proof series especially collectible. The one-ounce coin carries the highest face value ($100) of any U.S. bullion coin. The annually changing proof reverses create a unique collecting challenge. One troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum. Low mintages across the series create strong collector demand.
