The American Platinum Eagle 1 oz 2020 follows in the steps of the successful American Gold Eagle program. The US Mint decided a significant platinum bullion coin was needed in the world market so in 1996 Congress authorized the popular Platinum Series each with a legal tender value: 1/10 oz ($10) ¼ oz ($25) ½ oz ($50) and 1 oz ($100). The most popular with bullion investors is the American Platinum Eagle 1 oz coin. The 2020 issue carries a $100 face value, the highest to appear on a US coin. The daily price of this platinum bullion coin is determined by its weight and its legal tender status, while largely symbolic, is an added plus being guaranteed by a sovereign country. Each 2020 coin is issued in BU condition.
