United States of America 2005 N/A Platinum Eagles $50

Coin / United States of America / $50 (Fifty Dollars) / Platinum Eagles / 2005 / N/A

The 2005 Platinum Eagle is a notable entry in the American bullion coin series, representing a $50 denomination crafted from 99.95% platinum. This coin, with a diameter of 27 millimeters, is part of the United States Mint's series known for its high purity and limited mintage. In 2005, only 9,013 of these coins were produced, making it a relatively rare collectible within the series. Though specific mint and designer details are unspecified, the Platinum Eagle is recognized for its elegant design and intrinsic value tied to its platinum content. The production of this coin is characterized as a "Mint Strike," ensuring that it bears the highest quality finish directly from the mint. The absence of a mint mark indicates that it was produced at the primary mint, and the lack of specific measurements for width and weight suggests these values are either standard for this type of coin or not explicitly documented. As part of the U.S. coinage, it stands out not only due to its composition but also its significance as a legal tender coin. Collectors highly regard the 2005 Platinum Eagle, both for its aesthetic appeal and investment potential, particularly in light of its limited mintage and the increasing interest in platinum as a precious metal.
