2009-W 1 oz Proof American Platinum Eagle PR-70 PCGS (FS)

---

In 2009, the United States Mint released a striking platinum coin that showcases a shifting artistic narrative. Unlike its gold and silver counterparts, the proof version of this platinum series features a reverse illustration that changes every year, making each issue a distinct artistic endeavor. This specific piece contains one troy ounce of 99.95 percent pure platinum, struck with a polished proof finish at the West Point Mint. The front of the coin displays the iconic face of the Statue of Liberty, accompanied by the year 2009 and the traditional phrases "In God We Trust" and "E Pluribus Unum". On the reverse, the theme "Liberty Nurtures Freedom" comes to life through a detailed depiction of Liberty alongside an American bald eagle. This side also displays the face value of 100 Dollars, the weight, and the metal purity. With a limited mintage of only 8,000 pieces, this coin has been certified at the highest grade of PR-70. It also carries a designation indicating it was received for grading within the initial 30 days of its official release.
