1/10 oz. American Eagle
Platinum Bullion Coins

In 1996, the U.S. Congress passed an Omnibus bill (Public Law 104-208) that included legislation authorizing the U.S. Mint to start producing the American Eagle Platinum bullion coins for investors and proof coins for collectors.

First minted in 1997, the 1 oz, 1/2 oz., 1/4 oz., and 1/10 oz. American Eagle Platinum Bullion Coins are the official investment-grade platinum bullion coins minted by the United States Mint.
