Final American Platinum Eagle Preamble Series On Sale 10/20

The following is a release from the US Mint

WASHINGTON - The United States Mint will accept orders for the final coin in its American Eagle Platinum Proof Coin Program Preamble Series on Oct. 20 at noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).

Launched in 2009, the Preamble Series features coins with reverse (tails side) designs that commemorate the core concepts of American democracy by recognizing the six principles of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution.

The 2014 reverse (tails side) design is emblematic of the principle "To Secure the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and our Posterity." Designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Susan Gamble and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Joseph Menna, the coin features Young Lady Liberty carrying her torch, symbolizing the hope and promise of America. It also features an American Eagle privy mark from an original coin punch identified at the United States Mint at Philadelphia. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1 oz., .9995 PLATINUM, and $100.

The reverse designs in the Preamble Series are inspired by narratives prepared by the Chief Justice of the United States at the request of the United States Mint. Design themes of previously released coins were: "To Form a More Perfect Union" (2009), "To Establish Justice" (2010), "To Insure Domestic Tranquility" (2011), "To Provide for the Common Defence" (2012), and "To Promote the General Welfare" (2013).
