General Coin Information
The 2011 American Eagle Platinum Proof Coin continues a series of strikes that debuted in 1997 featuring annually changing reverse designs. A release date of May 26, 2011 has been indicated by the US Mint for the coin.
When initially launched, the Mint produced four different sizes of the .9995 fine platinum coins - one ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 once and 1/10 ounce. However, the fractional sizes were discontinued in late 2008 leaving just the one ounce coin.

The 2011 strike will feature a design themed on the “To Insure Domestic Tranquility” principle.
