And it took about a week.

Platinum eagle coins were struck at the Mint’s facility at West Point and release was limited to a mintage of only 8,000. The obverse on this year’s Platinum features the first of six annual designs dedicated to the six principles of the Preamble of the United States Constitution.

The 2009 reverse theme depicts "To Form a More Perfect Union" by using four faces to represent the diversity of the Nation with interweaving hair and clothing. It was designed by Susan Gamble and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill.

The obverse side remains unchanged, featuring Lady Liberty along with the inscriptions "LIBIERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the year.

New element added this year is an American Eagle "privy mark," based on an original "coin punch" identified at the United States Mint at Philadelphia.

Platinum eagles are still available at eBay, check auctions below.

If you’re searching for one of these unique coins for your collection – or simply because you love it – there are some facts you should know to avoid falling victim to a fake.

Carson City, Nevada – a true Wild West town -- utilized the silver strike of 1859 to mint CC Morgan dollars. Like other Morgan dollars, the CC Morgans display the face of Liberty on the front and an eagle on its reverse side. Also on the reverse side is the double C (Carson City) mark which sets it apart from other Morgan dollars.

Be sure to consider the following tips before you purchase a CC Morgan silver dollar:

Carson City Morgans should be evaluated carefully before purchasing to be sure it isn’t a fake.

Purchase CC Morgans from a reputable dealer. Some online coin auctions are trustworthy, but be sure you do your homework before you buy.

Take into account the CC Morgan’s condition before you purchase it. Even though the coin may be listed as rare, its condition may reduce the value.

Find out how many CC Morgans of the type you’re considering are uncirculated. Sometimes an uncirculated grading doesn’t warrant an increased price.

During some years millions of CC Morgans were minted, while in other years only a few hundred thousand were minted – making some rarer than others.

CC Morgan silver dollars are considered among the most collectible of coins and adding them to your collection should be considered a privilege.
