2022 American Platinum Eagle NGC MS70 - 1oz platinum .999

A perfect example of the 2022 American Platinum Eagle, independently certified by NGC at the flawless grade of MS70. This is as good as it gets. An MS70 from NGC means this coin has been examined and found to have absolutely no post-production imperfections at 5x magnification — a perfect coin in every sense of the word. In platinum, that designation carries even more weight: .9995 fine, the purest major bullion coin struck by the U.S. Mint, in a perfect grade that fewer than one percent of submitted coins ever achieve.

History & Significance

The American Platinum Eagle has held a singular place in U.S. Mint history since its 1997 launch — the only platinum bullion coin ever struck by the United States Mint, and one of the most respected platinum coins in the world. Platinum itself is rarer than gold in the earth's crust, more industrially critical, and has historically commanded a premium for both its scarcity and its purity. The American Platinum Eagle bullion coin, at .9995 fine, represents the highest purity standard of any U.S. Mint coin. A perfect MS70 of this coin is therefore a convergence of two exceptionally high standards: the rarest precious metal in the U.S. Mint's lineup, certified in flawless condition. Whether you're a precious metals investor, a certified coin collector, or a platinum enthusiast, this 2022 American Platinum Eagle MS70 represents the absolute top of what the program has to offer.
