From 1997 to 2008, the United States Mint offered its American Platinum Eagle Coins in BU and Proof with fractional-ounce coins available. The proof coins were the more notable of the bunch for collectors as these coins had new reverse designs each year and still do to this day.

Proof American Platinum Eagles have always featured a new design on one side or the other of the coins. Initially, the United States Mint issued the coins with a static obverse design of the Statue of Liberty while changing the reverse design each year.
As of 2018, the US Mint shifted to offer changing effigies of Liberty on the obverse along with a static depiction of a bald eagle in flight on the reverse. However, these 1/2 oz Proof Platinum Eagles will all have the Statue of Liberty obverse with various designs on the reverse depending on the date.
Obverse designs on these 1/2 oz Proof American Platinum Eagles include the Statue of Liberty. This front-facing design was created for the Platinum Eagle Series in 1997 by John Mercanti and still features on the obverse of BU versions of the coin.
Reverse visuals on 1/2 oz Proof Platinum Eagles include various designs depending on the date mark of the coin you receive. The very first coin featured Thomas D. Rogers popular soaring bald eagle, while the first design series used in the collection was known as the Vistas of Liberty and shows eagles soaring over various parts of the country.
These 1/2 oz Proof American Platinum Eagle Coins are PR69 specimens. Coins in this condition have a full, original mint luster and no more than two flaws. Those flaws are limited to minuscule contact marks or hairlines and must be outside the primary focal points.
