2000 American Platinum Eagle
The 2000 Platinum Eagle coins represent the fourth year of the series. The bullion coin mintages showed another decline from the prior year, while the proof mintages leveled off.
The "Vista's of Liberty" series entered its third year, which portrays the Bald Eagle in various landscapes across the United States. The 2000 Proof Platinum Eagle reverse was designed by Alfred Maletsky and features the Bald Eagle in America's heartland. The reverse of the bullion version of the coin features the original soaring Bald Eagle design.
Coins were available in four different sizes including 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce size coins for both bullion and proof versions. The average price of platinum during 2000 was $544.03.
