This 2003 Platinum Eagle is a striking example of American numismatic craftsmanship, showcasing a denomination of $10. Minted at the Philadelphia Mint, it is part of the prestigious Platinum Eagles series, which features coins composed of 99.95% pure platinum. This particular coin has a diameter of 16.5 mm and a weight of 3.11 grams. Designed by artists John M. Mercanti and Thomas D. Rogers, this coin exhibits the quality and detail that collectors expect from a government-minted piece. It has a reeded edge, which adds to its aesthetic appeal and security against counterfeiting. With a limited mintage of only 22,007 pieces, this coin is a valuable addition to any collection, representing both a tangible investment in precious metal and a piece of American heritage. Its lack of a mint mark indicates that it was produced in Philadelphia, a historical hub of American coinage. As a member of the Platinum Eagles series, it not only holds its value as a collectible but also reflects the economic significance of platinum as a precious metal.
