The year 1997 marked the first year of production of the Proof Platinum American Eagle series. This was the first time in history that a platinum coin was issued by the U.S Mint. The obverse side of the coin was designed by revered U.S Mint sculptor and engraver, John Mercanti and the reverse was designed by the famed U.S Mint sculptor and engraver, Thomas D. Rogers. In 1997, the Mint Struck a record 36,993 one-tenth ounce proof Platinum American Eagles, and less than 1% of those pieces have achieved the perfect PF70 grade by PCGS. Fractional platinum is sought after by investors and collectors across the world because they are no longer in production by the U.S Mint.
