Description
The 1998 (W) Proof American Eagle Fifty Dollar Platinum is a proof platinum coin struck at the West Point Mint, part of the American Eagle Fifty Dollar Platinum 1997 to Date series. With a mintage of 13,836, this is a scarce issue. The obverse features the Statue of Liberty facing forward, while the reverse displays an eagle soaring over the sunrise. Designed by John M. Mercanti. Struck in 99.95% platinum, weighing 15.56 grams, 27 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #99767. The half-ounce American Platinum Eagle contains 1/2 troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum. Fractional platinum eagles were discontinued after 2008 in bullion format, making earlier issues increasingly sought after. Proof versions were also produced.
