The American Eagle coin series from the United States Mint is its most popular product lineup, bar none. While the Silver Eagle and Gold Eagle garner most of the headlines and attract the attention of numismatists everywhere, the Platinum American Eagle is the nation’s official platinum bullion coin and has been part of the series since 1997. Today, the 1/2 oz Platinum American Eagle coin is available from varied years in BU condition on Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships in a plastic flip to protect the coin’s condition.
  • Popular Platinum American Eagle bullion coin!
  • Available from varied years of production!
  • Consists of One-Half Troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum.
  • Face value of $50 (USD) is fully backed by the US government.
  • Obverse features the Portraits of Liberty design.
  • Reverse includes the “Eagle Soaring Above America” image.
  • Available in BU condition.

Platinum American Eagle coins are most closely associated to the structure of the Gold American Eagle program. Available in both bullion and proof, the Platinum American Eagle features four different weights: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz coins. However, unlike either the Silver or Gold Eagles, the Platinum American Eagle has something that makes it distinct.

The Platinum American Eagle coin is the only bullion coin from the United States Mint that features a new design on the reverse face each year. This is confined to the proof version only, with the obverse and reverse of the bullion version featuring the same design every year.

On the obverse of these 1/2 oz Platinum American Eagle coins you’ll find the vision of the Statue of Liberty’s head as she fixes her gaze on the distant future. This design came from then-Chief Engraver of the United States Mint John Mercanti, and has featured on the obverse since 1997.

The reverse of the bullion 1/2 oz Platinum American Eagle coin features the so-called “Eagle Soaring Above America” design. This came from Thomas D. Rogers in 1997, and features on the reverse every year. It depicts a bald eagle flying over the sun with its wings spread wide.

Each of the 1/2 oz Platinum American Eagle coins in this Silver.com listing is a BU coin. Specimens with a Brilliant Uncirculated grade exhibit no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, or contact marks from production.

Additionally, the Platinum Eagles in this listing are available with various years of issue. The specific date mark you receive is determined by the availability of different years at the time your order is fulfilled.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

How can I contact you?

Please feel welcome to call us toll free at 1(888) 989-7223 or use our Live Chat feature during normal business hours Monday through Friday, 08:00 a.m. to 06:00 p.m. CST. Alternatively, you can email us at help@silver.com and expect a response within 1 business day.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
