Notification of American Eagle Platinum Proof Coin and American 
Eagle Platinum Uncirculated Coin Price Increases

SUMMARY: The United States Mint is adjusting prices for its American 
Eagle Platinum Proof Coins and American Eagle Platinum Uncirculated 
Coins.
    Pursuant to the authority that 31 U.S.C. 5111(a) and 5112(k) grant 
the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue platinum coins, and to 
prepare and distribute numismatic items, the United States Mint mints 
and issues 2007 American Eagle Platinum Proof and Uncirculated Coins in 
four denominations with the following weights: one-ounce, one-half 
ounce, one-quarter ounce, one-tenth ounce. The United States Mint also 
produces American Eagle Platinum Proof and Uncirculated four-coin sets 
that contain one coin of each denomination. In accordance with 31 
U.S.C. 9701(b)(2)(B), the United States Mint is changing the price of 
these coins to reflect the increase in value of the underlying precious 
metal content of the coins--the result of increases in the market price 
of platinum.
    Accordingly, effective February 1, 2008, the United States Mint 
will commence selling the following 2007 American Eagle Proof and 
Uncirculated Coins according to the following price schedule:
