2024-W 1 oz Proof American Platinum Eagle (w/Box & COA)

The 2024 American Platinum Eagle proof coin represents a significant chapter in a five year series spanning 2021 to 2025, which honors the fundamental liberties outlined in the First Amendment. This particular release focuses on the Freedom of the Press, rendered on a canvas of one troy ounce of highly refined 0.9995 platinum. Struck at the West Point Mint, the coin features a mirror-like proof finish and is limited to a maximum mintage of 12,000 pieces. On the obverse, a detailed oak branch laden with acorns symbolizes strength and growth. This central image is accompanied by the poignant inscription, "WITH FREEDOM OF THE PRESS LIBERTY BEARS FRUIT." The artistic vision for this side was created by Donna Weaver and brought to life by sculptor Joseph Menna. Turning to the reverse, an eagle glides through the air while clutching an olive branch in its talons. Designed by Patricia Lucas-Morris and sculpted by Don Everhart, this side carries the essential inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "$100," "1 OZ.," and "0.9995 PLATINUM," alongside the "W" mint mark. This exquisite legal tender issue is fully backed for weight and purity by the United States Mint.
