2008 $25 1/4 oz American Platinum Eagle NGC MS69
Add a scarce fractional American Platinum Eagle to your collection with this 2008 $25 American Platinum Eagle, struck from 1/4 troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum and certified MS69 by NGC.
First introduced in 1997, the American Platinum Eagle became the official platinum bullion coin of the United States. The series combines sovereign United States backing, high platinum purity, and patriotic artwork centered on the Statue of Liberty and the American bald eagle.
This 2008 issue is especially notable because it represents the final year in which regular bullion American Platinum Eagles were produced in fractional sizes before fractional production was discontinued. The United States Mint did not resume issuing the standard bullion series until 2014, and subsequent bullion releases have been limited to the one-ounce denomination.
Coin Highlights
The regular 2008 quarter-ounce bullion issue had a reported mintage of 22,800 coins, giving it considerably lower availability than many modern American bullion releases. Its fractional size also makes it appealing to collectors seeking a more accessible American Platinum Eagle denomination.
This example has been authenticated, graded, and encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, receiving a grade of MS69. This near-perfect Mint State grade indicates a sharply struck coin with only minor imperfections visible under close examination.
The coin is housed in an NGC holder with a distinctive purple insert featuring a bee and honeycomb design.
