You get the frist Platinum Eagle Reverse Proof Coin ever produced by the US Mint in a set that more people can afford, which is why the mintage limit was set at 30,000.. If the sales are considerably less, then the value of the set will be greater, which will be a win for the average investors buying the set.

In fact all the eagle anniversary sets were 1 oz. coins except this one. Don’t know what the thinking behind it ? The cost will diffinitely be higher but I also think it would be more desirable to the collectors and even investors. You got all these 1 oz.ers and then this 1/2 oz. set that you need to look at with a magniflying glasses. Hopefully it’ll be in a large wooden box so I won’t lose it.
