from looking at yours my guesses are:
1)different badging on the fenders (obviously coach instead of platinum)
2)your has perforated leather, platinum has different leather from normal (I think it's the texture or pattern)
3)My Badges Lexus front and rear are Black Mettalic (ES300 is on lid instead of tail light)
4) Mine has Factory HIDs (not sure if is was true of all Platinum Eds)

Didn't notice anything aside from your interior is Dark Gray and there aren't too many that are Dark Gray.

I have a 2000 Platinum and it didnt come with HIDs

Weird, i just noticed this. My car has the Lexus emblem on the back on the light like OP's Coach. I wonder why yours is up on top like that. Check mine out

I'm guessing the ES300 badge location depends on the color? no idea why but I highly doubt the original owner moved the location of the badges.

this one on ebay also silver has it on the tail lights.

It's the location designation. Canada got them on the lids from 97-01.
Black pearl, chrome or gold...

USA was tails from 00-01... In Japan the windoms [I'm 90% sure, had them all on the lid as well].

I guess it was a US thing only come to think of it.
