Comment

Proof platinum eagles were produced from 1997-2008 at the US West Point mint in New York. Unlike the standard bullion coins of the metal, they each had a different reverse design depending on year of issue, and thus different names. The name of the 2002-W coin is "North West."

Interesting fact

The American Platinum Eagle is the only platinum bullion coin produced by the United States Mint. It was first introduced in 1997 and has been minted annually since then. The coin's design features a bald eagle soaring above the earth on its reverse side, while its obverse side bears the image of Lady Liberty. The coin is made of .9995 fine platinum and weighs 3.11 grams. It has a face value of $10, although its actual value is much higher due to its platinum content. The American Platinum Eagle is a popular choice among collectors and investors seeking to add precious metals to their portfolios.
