Stack's Bowers March 2020 auction, lot 23656
SB320-23656r.jpg

This specimen was lot 23656 in Stack's Bowers August 2020 auction, where it sold for $204. The lot description noted, "2007-W Tenth-Ounce Platinum Eagle. Proof-70 Deep Cameo (PCGS)." The mint began striking and selling platinum bullion coins in 1997. One, half, quarter and tenth ounce versions were offered; the tenth ounce is shown here. Sales were respectable but never more than a fraction of the sales of the gold eagle bullion coins. The proofs feature a different reverse than the "business" strikes (KM 283). This is a common date.

Recorded Mintage: 13,003 from Philadelphia (no mintmark) plus 5,556 "burnished" plus 8,176 proofs (shown here).

Specification: 3.10 g, 0.999 fine platinum, 17 mm diameter. Designed and engraved by John Mercanti.

Catalog reference: KM 414.
