CCAC Reviews Upcoming Platinum Eagle Designs

Numismatic News - "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." How these concepts are best represented on three platinum coin designs was the task at hand when the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee met Sept. 16.

Beginning in 2018, the U.S. Mint will issue a three-year proof platinum American Eagle series depicting the unalienable rights set forth in the Preamble of the United States Declaration of Independence.

The obverse of the 2018 coin will represent "Life," the 2019 coin will represent "Liberty" and the 2020 coin will represent "The Pursuit of Happiness."
