<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 15758, member: 669&quot;]Verrrrrrrry interesting!&nbsp; Your coin does not appear to be a genuine Platinum American Eagle, although the obverse is identical to the U.S. platinum bullion coins issued since 1997, issued uncirculated from the Philadelphia mint and in proof from the West Point mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse is a whole &#039;nother bird.&nbsp; The bullion coins (1/10 oz. $10, 1/4 oz. $25, 1/2 oz. $50 and 1 oz. $100 face values) have the &quot;In God We Trust&quot; motto <i>only</i> on the obverse.&nbsp; The reverse has the denomination at the bottom, &quot;.9995 PLATINUM&quot; with the weight at the right, and an eagle with its wings spread wide in flight above a rising sun, across the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have a current Red Book, but Krause gives the uncirculated mintage as 8,007 for 2003, and doesn&#039;t give a mintage for the 2003 proofs.&nbsp; The earlier 1 oz. Philly coins are valued at $700-725 and the West Point coins are valued at $750-775 in Krause.&nbsp; Red Book values through 2002 are about the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>As bullion coins they basically sell for the value of their metal plus a small premium, and multiples of the lower denominations are very slightly higher than the same weight of a higher denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps ND or one of the other dealers can shed some light.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
