The Proof Platinum American Eagles debuted from the United States Mint in 1997 with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz platinum coins. From 1997 to 2008, the US Mint issued the coins in these four weights, but 2008 was a unique year. Not only did it mark the end of yet another design series for the coins, it also marked the final issue of the 1/4 oz weight of the coin. Today, you have the chance to buy 2008-W 1/4 oz Proof Platinum American Eagles in near-perfect condition online at Silver.com.

The Proof Platinum American Eagle is the only coin from the United States Mint that uses new designs on one side each year. From 1997 to 2016, the reverse design element was altered each year for fresh appeal. Between 2018 and 2020, the series switched to feature new obverse designs of Liberty each year. In all cases, Proof Platinum American Eagles are produced by the West Point Mint with a “W” mint mark.

The US Mint originally issued the three fractional-ounce coins in both bullion and proof from 1997 to 2008. In 2009, the US Mint suspended all four coins in the bullion series and the fractional-ounce coins in the proof collection. Even when the bullion coins returned, the fractional-ounce coins did not.

On the obverse side of the 2008-W 1/4 oz Proof Platinum American Eagle is a depiction of Lady Liberty. Created in 1997 by John Mercanti, this effigy of Liberty is based on the Statue of Liberty and focuses on her gaze as she wears a crown and holds her torch overhead in her right hand.

The reverse face of 2008-W 1/4 oz Proof Platinum Eagles bears an image of Lady Justice. In this design, Justice is flanked by the American bald eagle to watch over her. This design represents the Judicial Branch and was the third and final design in the Foundations of Democracy Series that depicted the three branches of the federal government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

These 2008-W 1/4 oz Proof Platinum American Eagles are in near-perfect condition. PR69 coins have full, original mint luster and two minor detracting flaws at most. Examples of acceptable flaws include only minuscule contact marks or hairlines. The DCAM designation means the coins have contrasting strong, frosted designs and deeply-mirrored, clear background fields.

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.

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.
