1997-W Platinum Eagle 100 Dollars PR DCAM Values
Details
Proof $100 platinum eagles are generally low-mintage coins, with several proof issues carrying mintages as low as 5,000 pieces. For the first decade or so after the series started collectors ignored the rarity and value presented by the low mintages. That changed and the scarce proof platinum eagles are seeing increasing demand.
This coin is made of Platinum and has a current melt value of $1,997.14
Obverse: The obverse features an obverse portrait by John Mercanti of the Statue of Liberty's head and crown staring right into the viewer.
Reverse: Eagle in flight, an olive branch in its talons. Inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "$100," "1 OZ.," and ".9995 PLATINUM."
