Eagle above Southeastern Wetlands, Mercanti, mintage $10 PR 19,133. John M. Mercanti (obverse), John M. Mercanti (reverse). West Point Mint, .9995 platinum, $10 - 0.1001 oz (3.112 grams; 1/10 oz actual platinum weight), 16.5 mm diameter. Average spot price of Platinum in 1999 was $377.93. The bold obverse design is a full close-up of the Statue of Liberty's face, entitled "Liberty Looking to the Future." The reverse is an "Eagle Above Southeastern Wetlands." The 1999 alligator crawling out of the swamp and the 2001 Saguaro Cacti in the desert are my favorite two coins of the entire series due to the photographic beauty of the vista sculpture. This year was the second of the five-year "Vistas of Liberty" series from 1998 through 2002. The five Vistas are Northeast, Southeast, Heartland, Southwest and Northwest of America. "The Vistas of Liberty designs will profile the unique character and charisma of our nation's diverse landscapes, capturing the spirit and strength of America and its people." The Proof has a special design of incuse sculpting, that is below the surface plane of the coin, reading E Pluribus Unum, obverse, and fineness, reverse. Quotes per Edmund C. Moy's American Gold and Platinum Eagles book (c) 2014.
