Obverse

On the obverse of the coins in this 3-coin proof set, youll find distinct images of Liberty from across US coin history. The Gold Eagle includes the 1907 Saint-Gaudens Liberty, while the Silver Eagle shows the 1916 Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman. The Platinum Eagle presents a detailed image of the Statue of Libertys face, created by John Mercanti.

Reverse

Each coin in this set also features a unique bald eagle reverse design. The Gold Eagle includes Miley Busieks eagle family scene. The Silver Eagle displays the heraldic eagle that John Mercanti designed in the 1980s. The Platinum Eagle stands out with a soaring eagle created by Thomas D. Rogers.

History

This proof set arrived the same year the US Mint introduced the Platinum Eagle. It was the first platinum coin issued in the American Eagle series, and both BU and proof options were released. John Mercanti and Thomas D. Rogers provided the artwork for the obverse and reverse of this new addition.
