Mint is just making money from suckers; sorry, collectors, that think they are investors.

I’ll sound like a broken record here but there is a lot of truth is AJP’s comment. Platinum goes up $50 maybe $75/ounce and suddenly the proof platinum coins have to be repriced. Platinum drops $500 and no action needs to be taken. They’re just refusing to take a loss on the platinum that they bought and it really angers me. Sometimes you lose the game.

No, but do you really expect fairness and fiscal responsibility from any branch of the U.S. government? People who buy these coins either don’t care about money or are really, really stupid.
