2010-W 1 oz Proof American Platinum Eagle PR-70 PCGS (FS)

---

The United States Mint continued its exploration of foundational democratic principles with the release of this 2010 proof platinum coin. Crafted at the West Point Mint, this issue represents the second installment in a specialized six year design sequence. Each year in this series introduces a brand new reverse illustration to reflect on the core tenets of American self-governance. On the obverse, the iconic face of the Statue of Liberty gazes forward, accompanied by the inscription of the year 2010 and the traditional motto of trust. The reverse side for this year is dedicated to the theme of establishing justice. It depicts a blindfolded figure of Lady Justice, who holds both a set of scales and a symbolic branch of laurel. The West Point 'W' mint mark is also visible on this side. This legal tender piece contains one troy ounce of highly refined platinum with a purity of 99.95 percent. Backed by the United States government, this particular specimen has been certified in the highest possible grade of Proof 70 Deep Cameo, indicating a flawless strike with deep, contrasting fields.
