Description: Are you looking to own a half-ounce platinum eagle from the first year of mintage? Well, look no further than this 1997 $50 Platinum Eagle. It has been graded MS70 by NGC. In 1997 the U.S Mint produced only 20,500 half ounce pieces and only 3 coins have been graded perfect 70 by NGC that are hand signed by the coin's designer. Early year platinum can be hard to come by in perfect strikes and fractional platinum is sought after by investors and collectors across the world because they are no longer in production by the U.S Mint. Furthermore, this piece is hand signed by the designer of the Platinum American Eagle and the U.S Mint’s 12th Chief Engraver, John Mercanti. Hand signed labels by Mercanti have become highly sought after by collectors and investors alike. 1 of only 3 in NGC population!Perfect Mint State 70Hand Signed By John MercantiThe obverse features the face of the famous Statue of Liberty, as she is also raising her arm.
