General Coin Information

The 2012 American Eagle Platinum Proof Coin is struck for collectors from one ounce of .9995 platinum. Each coin marks the continuation of the Platinum Eagle Program dating back to 1997 as well as the fourth year in a series containing special annually changing reverses dedicated to the principles found in the Preamble of the Constitution of the United States. The reverse for 2012 will feature a them based on the principle of "To Provide for the Common Defence."

The first year of the special reverses was in 2009 with the last scheduled to appear in 2014. The theming of the reverses according to the US Mint is "inspired by narratives prepared by the chief justice of the United States at the request of the United States Mint." Those reverse themes as well as the year of their scheduled appearance is offered below:

• 2009 - To Form a More Perfect Union
• 2010- To Establish Justice
• 2011 - To Insure Domestic Tranquility
• 2012 - To Provide for the Common Defence
• 2013 - To Promote General Welfare
• 2014 - To Secure the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and our Posterity

The Platinum Eagle Program itself debuted with four different sized Eagles - one ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 once and 1/10 ounce. However, the fractional sizes were discontinued in late 2008.
