The packaging of this platinum coin was in the middle of a tri-fold binder, and set up to display one side with the narrative by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and then the opposite side holding the specifications of the coin and its certificate of authenticity.

This year's 2010 Platinum Eagle reverse design will display the words of the principle, "To Establish Justice," as inspired by the Chief Justice of The United States, John G. Roberts, Jr. Featured on the obverse design is a rendition designed by John Mercanti of the Statue of Liberty which has always been used on all of the American Platinum Eagle coins issued since it first came out in 1997.

The Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) have been provided with nine individual reverse design candidates by the United States Mint. Of these nine candidates, six of them show the relief of Justice, blindfolded and holding up scales, with some surrounded by people or allegorical symbols. Yet another one of the designs shows the torch held by the Statue of Liberty. The last two final designs have the Supreme Court Building's pediment, including the figures of Order, Liberty, and Authority, as well as the west front doors of the building with the panels that depict the development of the law.

There are groups that reviewed all of the design candidates in various separate meetings that were held in late March, and the recommendation from the CFA was the design showing the symbolic torch. There was a one recommendation by the CFA that the text across the torch ("Justice the Guardian of Liberty") be restudied and the possibility be considered to move it to flank the central image. The design that features a blindfolded Justice who's holding a laurel branch and the scales was support by CCAC. They also offered a few recommendation for revisions to individual aspects of the design, and ended up unanimously recommending Justice should be holding the scale by the loop that's above the beam to have the depiction be mechanically correct.

Investors are currently driving prices upwards on platinum, in response to the unstable economy here in the United States, and the continuing lack of growth in most traditional investment options, including stocks, bonds and real estate. As Platinum has a number of uses in both industrial markets and in the production of fine jewellery, it is the potential demand for platinum for within the auto industry that truly gives the precious metal the potential for long-term gains.

Almost 50 percent of the platinum produced today is purchased for use in the manufacturing of environmentally friendly high-efficiency emission reduction automobile-catalytic converters, which are crucial in reducing CO2 emissions. This demand for platinum in this upcoming growth sector could cause it to see future growth as a precious metals commodity.
