The 1999 NGC MS70 $100 Platinum Eagle is not just a coin – it is a legendary treasure in modern American numismatics. Regarded as the undisputed King of Platinum Eagles, this elusive issue stands at the absolute pinnacle of rarity, condition, and prestige.
Out of 56,707 coins originally struck by the U.S. Mint in 1999, only two examples have ever achieved the flawless MS70 grade from NGC. PCGS has graded just one. The population is so minuscule that it exists in a league of its own – a coin of mythical status that very few will ever encounter, let alone own.
The exceptional scarcity of this coin is rooted in one of the most intriguing stories in modern bullion history. In the early 2000s, a critical platinum shortage gripped the market. It’s widely believed that a significant portion of the 1999–2000 Platinum American Eagles were purchased by automakers and melted down for industrial use to meet soaring demand for emission-control devices.
This historic event virtually wiped out the supply of many investment-grade Platinum Eagles, leaving only a microscopic number of high-grade survivors. Today, the 1999 MS70 stands as a relic of that pivotal moment – and an enduring symbol of its rarity.
For elite collectors, the 1999 NGC MS70 $100 Platinum Eagle represents the highest achievement in numismatics: perfection combined with near-unattainable scarcity. With a population of just two coins, it ranks among the rarest certified modern U.S. coins in existence.
It’s a true defining piece – the kind of coin that anchors world-class collections and makes a statement of exclusivity, taste, and legacy. Completing a full NGC MS70 Platinum Eagle set is nearly impossible… and this coin is the crown jewel.
