Are you looking to own a one-tenth ounce Platinum Eagle from the first year of mintage? Well, look no further than this 1997 $10 Platinum Eagle. It has been graded MS70 by the Numismatic Guarantee Corporation. In 1997 the U.S Mint produced just over 70,000 one-tenth ounce pieces and only 267 coins have been graded perfect 70 by NGC. Early year platinum can be hard to come by in perfect strikes and fractional platinum is sought after by investors and collectors across the world because they are no longer in production by the U.S Mint.
