A Historic Anniversary Set
Launched in 1997, the American Platinum Eagle series introduced platinum to U.S. coinage, and the 2007 2PC Set, released on August 1, 2007, as the 10th Anniversary Platinum Eagle Set, marks a milestone with two distinct finishes. With a mintage of 25,519, it includes two 1/2 oz $50 coins—a Proof and a Reverse Proof—sold for $1,099.95. The Proof coin features mirror-like fields and frosted relief, while the Reverse Proof inverts this with polished devices and frosted fields, showcasing the U.S. Mint’s technical prowess. The flawless PF70 and Reverse PF70 grades elevate this set to a numismatic icon, cherished by collectors for its rarity and dual-format appeal.
The Prestige of the “W” Mint Mark
Bearing the coveted “W” mintmark of the West Point Mint, both coins in this set signify premium quality and scarcity. Proof and reverse proof coins from West Point are struck in limited quantities for collectors, distinguishing them from bullion issues. The “W” mintmark, combined with the set’s low mintage and anniversary significance, marks it as a rare and highly sought-after piece in the numismatic world.
Iconic American Design
This set features masterful designs that embody American liberty and governance, enhanced by distinct finishes.

Obverse (Both Coins): John Mercanti’s Statue of Liberty, introduced in 1997, depicts Liberty gazing upward, her torch raised high. Inscriptions include “LIBERTY,” “2007,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the “W” mintmark below. The Proof’s frosted Liberty contrasts with mirror-like fields, while the Reverse Proof’s polished Liberty shines against frosted fields, with PF70 and Reverse PF70 grades ensuring flawless details.

Reverse (Proof $50): Designed by Al Maletsky and sculpted by Don Everhart, the “Legislative Muse” reverse, created for the 10th anniversary, depicts a seated figure symbolizing wisdom, flanked by eagles atop ionic columns. Inscriptions read “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1/2 OZ. .9995 PLATINUM,” and “$50.” The proof finish highlights frosted details against radiant fields.

Reverse (Reverse Proof $50): Also by Al Maletsky and Don Everhart, the “Legislative Muse” reverse mirrors the Proof’s design but with polished devices and frosted fields. Inscriptions read “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “1/2 OZ. .9995 PLATINUM,” and “$50.” The reverse proof finish makes the muse and eagles pop vividly in Reverse PF70 condition.
