2002 Proof American Platinum Eagle 4-Coin Set (Box + CoA)

When the U.S. Mint launched the American Platinum Eagle series in 1997, both the proof and bullion versions carried the same artwork on their obverse and reverse. In 1998, the Mint began releasing new reverse designs for the proof coins each year, a tradition it continued through 2016. Some of these annual designs were grouped into themed sets. The first of these collections was known as *Vistas of Liberty*. BGASC now offers 2002 Proof American Platinum Eagle 4-Coin Sets for those looking to add a complete year to their collection. **Highlights:** - **Arrives with individually encapsulated coins in a US Mint box with a Certificate of Authenticity!** - **6th issue of Proof Platinum Eagles!** - **4-coin set includes all four 2002 Proof Platinum Eagles!** - **Final designs in the Vistas of Liberty Series (19982002)!** - **Final mintage of 8,772 sets!** - Contains a total of 1.85 Troy oz of .9995 pure platinum. - Bears individual face values in US Dollars (USD). - The obverse of each coin features the face of the Statue of Liberty. - On the reverse, the coins all depict an eagle swooping to capture a trout in a lake. Each 2002 Proof American Platinum Eagle Set includes four coins: 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz platinum proofs. Each coin is sealed in its own protective capsule, and the full set is presented in a U.S. Mint display box. The set comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. These proof coins show finely frosted design elements against a reflective background. **Obverse** The obverse of all four 2002 coins displays the face of the Statue of Liberty. This design was created by John Mercanti for the start of the series in 1997. It remained on all Proof Platinum Eagles through 2017 and is still used on the obverse of bullion versions. **Reverse** On the reverse of each coin, an American bald eagle is shown in flight, reaching down to catch a trout jumping from a lake. Snow-covered mountains in the distance frame the background and suggest a Northwestern U.S. setting. This is the final release in the *Vistas of Liberty* series. **History** From 1998 to 2002, the Mint issued reverse designs in the *Vistas of Liberty* series for its Proof Platinum Eagles. These artworks showed bald eagles flying through different U.S. environments. The series featured designs by two artists: Thomas D. Rogers (1998 and 2001) and Al Maletsky (1999, 2000, and 2002). **Ordering** If youd like more details about this platinum coin set, please contact BGASC.
