1998-W 1/2 oz Proof Platinum Eagle PR-70 DCAM PCGS
The 1998 half-ounce American Eagle showcases the striking beauty of platinum, a metal prized for its strength and luster. Minted at the West Point facility, this fifty-dollar coin contains a half-ounce of 0.9995 fine platinum. It represents a brilliant combination of patriotic iconography and detailed artistry, struck with a proof finish that highlights the contrasting textures of the metal. On the obverse, the iconic face of the Statue of Liberty gazes forward, flanked by the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM" alongside the 1998 year of issue. The reverse transports the viewer to the American northeast, depicting a bald eagle soaring gracefully over a coastal New England landscape. This scenic design features a traditional lighthouse standing against a night sky dominated by a full moon. The reverse also bears the West Point "W" mint mark, the face value of fifty dollars, and the precise weight and purity of the precious metal.
