American Platinum Eagle
The American Platinum Eagle is the official platinum bullion coin of the United States. These coins are made of 0.9995 pure platinum with face values of 10, 25, 50 and 100 dollars and were first released by the United States Mint in 1997. The design of coins of different values is almost the same, except for some numerical values.

Platinum Maple Leaf
Canada produced platinum coins from 1988 to 1999,with a 10th anniversary edition in 1989,and a series with a hologram on the reverse in 2002. Their weight ranges from 1/20 to 1 ounce (1.5 to 31.1 g).
The first issue of the Maple Leaf coins with the face value of 50, 20, 10, and 5 Canadian dollars was announced on 11 July 1988
On 29 July 1993, the Royal Canadian Mint started production of 1/20 oz, $1 coins,The coins contain an image of maple leaves (the national symbol of Canada) and a portrait of Elizabeth II. The 1 ounce coins are sold in batches of 10 pieces packed in plastic tubes.

Platinum Koala
The Platinum Koala is the most famous series of Australian platinum coins. On 18 June 1987, the Australian Government approved the minting of platinum and silver coins, and accepted them as legal tender. This decision was made based on the success of gold coins issued a year earlier. The minting of the "Platinum Koala" began in September 1988 in Perth. For marketing purposes, 2 ounce, 10 ounce, and 1 kilogram coins of silver, gold and platinum were introduced in 1991; the 1 kg coins were the world's heaviest bullion coins at the time.[69]
The obverse, designed by Raphael Maklouf for most issues, depicts Elizabeth II, and the reverse contains an image of a koala. The initials of the reverse face designer James Brown are present on most coins. The annual series contain coins weighing from 1/20 ounce to 1 kilogram.[70]

The Platinum Koala never reached the popularity of the American Platinum Eagle, mostly because it has not been advertised in the US.Like most investment platinum coins, Platinum Koalas are sealed in a protective plastic case. The coins are sold at prices that reflect the current price of platinum, and not at the face value printed on the coin. Since November 1986, the Perth Mint has used more than 18 tonnes of platinum for minting. About 85% of the coins were sold abroad
​
Platinum Panda
The Platinum Panda is a series of platinum coins of China produced from 1987 to 2005. The series is named after the image of giant panda printed on the reverse of all coins. The People's Bank of China minted 8,300 one-ounce Platinum Panda coins between 1987 and 1990 with a face value of 100 yuan. Additionally, 5,450 ounces of platinum were used for coins of smaller denominations in the 1990s through the first decade of the 21st century. Minting was discontinued in 2005.

We are seeing the old time coin collectors getting too old to collect and dying!!   this  has been happening for the last 5 years  we are seeing coin prices decreasing ...many collectors coins have seen there value cut in half..  if your sitting on a grand parents or fathers coin collection thinking its increasing in value ..THINK AGIAN !!  the U.S. Mint saw declining sales of its American Eagle gold coin in 2019. Even though sales started strong at 65,500 ounces sold in January, the numbers quickly fell, dropping to just 2,000 ounces sold in December.
Overall, the U.S. Mint sold a total of 152,000 ounces of the gold American Eagle coins in 2019, marking the lowest level on record since the Mint began recording the data in 1986.
Sales of silver American Eagle coins were the worst since 2007, with only 14,863,500 ounces sold in 2019, down from the already weak figure of 15,700,000 reported in 2018.
Analysts pointed to the rallying U.S. stock market as a possible reason why investors chose not to invest in the physical gold coins.
"Much of what has probably been happening is that there were better returns in other markets, equities in particular. S&P 500 is up 30% year-on-year," RBC Wealth Management managing director George Gero told Kitco News last week.
On top of that, the strong U.S. dollar might have been to blame for such low sales.
​ we feel your money will work better put into a interest bearing account that make 5% a year . as your funds will continue to increase .. we see NO stopping to coin values decreasing .. and as more and more people see these decreases an acceleration can occur...  we STRONGLY  encourage our clients to let us evaluate your holdings and provide you with options base on your tolerance for loss.
