2001 American Platinum Eagle
The 2001 Platinum Eagle coins represent the fifth year of the series. The bullion coin mintage leveled off compared to the prior year, while the proof mintage remained around the same levels.
The "Vista's of Liberty" featuring the Bald Eagle in various landscapes across America continued. The 2001 Proof Platinum Eagle reverse designed by Thomas D. Rogers features the Bald Eagle in the southwestern desert with saguaro cacti. The reverse design of the bullion version of the coin continued to feature the original soaring Bald Eagle.
Coins were available in four different denominations with fractional sizes including 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce coins for both bullion and proof versions. The average price of platinum during 2001 was $529.04.
