Nice coin but, the problem is that MCM has already bought all of them. 1 per household HA they have over 150 graded ones already on ebay (presale). Plus all the ones they sell on their website.
They buy them all early check them for grading and send back the rejects. They do this with every collectible coin.
The ones we can buy have already been gone over if you want to get it graded good luck.
He’ll of a deal they have with the mint.

Since the mint is taking the reuse past design stance, how about reuse the Eagle from the 1987 five dollar gold commemorative coin, remove the Quill change the date.

If the US Mint chose this design for the 20th anniversary on the Platinum Eagle, then why didn’t they make the Mercury Dime in silver as it was originally? This is awful. Big mistake.

I was hoping for at least a laser Enhanced version of this design, oh well, Proof it is.

In my personal opinion, it doesn’t seem like the mint has much of a plan with these Platinum’s, which is a shame as while its a volatile metal, it offers a lot of potential for revenue for the mint.

The ’15 & ”16 designs are probably some of the best we’ve seen in a while.., the Anny design seen to be another missed opportunity…

Oh my G………. . It’s time for a party in New Orleans for the US Mint. We need to throw one of those processions where everyone sadly marches down the street and then suddenly breaks out in music and dancing. Oh lord its time to put the US Mint to rest. It was a long proud history. It’s been gone a while now. It’s time to put the Mint to rest.

Jp –

I remember a few years ago Rhodium actually went to S10,000 per ounce in London bullion market & then crashed hard to about $1,600. Anyone for Rhodium-plated jewelry!? Suckers are still holding those Baird & Company ingots sold on t.v. shopping shows! Lol.

Seth
You and I are thinking alike.
RHODIUM…! Now that’s where the future of coinage is heading. Or maybe plastics… It’s a toss up. I can’t decide. Let’s leave it to the politicians. THEY make great decisions.

Talk about punting in this one. The original design is the easiest coin to buy these days, so why do we need more? This can only be a collectors item if they decide to only make 4000, like last year. Maybe I’ll get a platinum maple leaf coin this year instead.

“Yawn”
“Using the same reverse design”
“Cost cutting measure”
“LEAN initiative”

Fella’s nothing to worry about here.
Platinum’s not a REAL metal anyways.
Kind of like Smeet is like Meat? Just saying.
