What this coin is
The American Platinum Eagle 1 oz is a platinum coin of the United States struck 1997–date. This page is for the type × composition — every date and mint of this issue has the same metal if the weight and fineness match the spec below. Melt is that metal times today’s spot, not a collector or dealer bid.
What is written on the coin
Read the denomination, the date, and the country name on the coin. People often search the words actually stamped on the piece (for example DOS PESOS or VEINTE PESOS on Mexican gold). Those words are indexed on this site.
Metal content (the melt spec)
Mint specification: 31.1200 grams at 99.95% fine, which is 1.00000 troy oz of pure platinum (APW). Formula: grams × fineness ÷ 31.1034768. Date and mintmark do not change that number. Melt today is $1,805.00 per coin at $1,805.00 platinum.
Mintage
Mintage varies by date. We do not publish a year-by-year mintage table here because melt is the same for this composition. A scarce date or a high grade can be worth more than melt; a common worn piece is often near melt.
A little history
This type belongs to the 1997–date period in the United States. Use the date on the coin to confirm you have this composition, not a later clad or debased issue of the same design.
How to tell you have this type
Match denomination, metal color, and date range. If two compositions share a design (for example 90% vs clad), the date or the edge (solid silver vs copper stripe) decides which page to use.
Date and mintmark do not change the metal on this page. Collector value is a different market — see Sold Comps for sold prices.
