The United States Mint today at noon Eastern Time launched the 2010 American Eagle Platinum Proof Coin for the price of $1,892.

The 2010 proof coin has a limited 10,000 worldwide mintage, and is expected to sellout based on demand levels from prior years. Indications support an early burst of orders.

US Mint Sales: Fractional Gold Eagles Gain, Proof Sets Near 400K
United States Mint numismatic coin sales edged lower last week, with the recently released 2010 Proof Set and 2010 Mint Set dropping the most but still registering the highest unit sales. U.S. Mint bullion coins continue to sail.
In a mini-milestone, the 2010 America the Beautiful Quarters Silver Proof Set topped 150,000 following a weekly increase of 5,230. They have a ways to go before passing last year's silver quarters sets which are still for sale. Those gained 2,018 to 288,124.
The US Mint 2010 Proof Sets are approaching a milestone of their own. They advanced 34,551 and are 14,433 away from hitting 400,000. Not bad considering they were released in the slower summer season, exactly three weeks ago.
