This coin is a 1999 $25 Platinum Eagle, produced by the Philadelphia Mint as part of the prestigious Platinum Eagles series. Designed by artists John M. Mercanti and Thomas D. Rogers, this coin features a striking design that highlights the allure of platinum, a precious metal that is less commonly used in coinage compared to gold and silver. The coin has a diameter of 22 mm and a weight of 7.78 grams, with a composition of 99.95% platinum, making it not only a collector's item but also a valuable investment due to its high-quality metal content. The edge of the coin is reeded, which adds a tactile feature and prevents counterfeiting. With a limited mintage of just 39,374 pieces, the 1999 Platinum Eagle is a sought-after item among numismatists and collectors alike. The lack of a mint mark indicates it was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, a historical facility known for striking a variety of U.S. coins. This specific coin represents a blend of art, history, and intrinsic value, making it a remarkable addition to any collection of American coins.
