Any recent news on when and if the Pd eagle will come out? It is not on the Mint’s schedule that now goes out through the end of 2017. is the recent escalation of the cost of Pd linked to mint suppliers buying up a couple hundred ounces of Pd for these coins? I see the Pd price is starting to fall, so maybe they have what they need?

The Mint will charge its 13 worldwide bullion coin Authorized Purchasers at least 4 percent above London PM spot fix palladium price for these bullion version coins & maybe a little more since these are the only high relief bullion version coins the Mint produces & it costs more to strike high relief coins.

Palladium is the poor man’s Platinum, not gold (see SILVER for that!) used as a catalyst like Pl but ‘cheaper’ for how long, we don;t know. Leave it to the mint, could have been a great 700$ oz. coin, now more like $1,3oo……mint management as WE all know is useless @ present

Awesome looking coin….A. Weinman’s work is extraordinary (as is his son’s work with medals but I digress). I am eager to buy this coin….thank you U.S. Mint for another high quality coin.

I think the law says a 1 oz coin, not smaller sizes. Platinum is at a greatly reduced price because it is rarer than gold. Palladium is advertised as an in-between gold and silver coin price-wise – the poor man’s gold.
Palladium may be up because the mint is on a buying spree to support future sales. Once they’ve stocked up the price will probably settle down again because mint sales and therefore demand will be more steady through the year (this one assumes).

It looks like with the intrest this coin has started and the jump in Pallidum price, if they mint a mint a one ounce proof, by the time it’s put on sale and the price surpasses Platinum, it could go for somewhere between $1,000.00 and $1,500.00 or higher depending on intrest and Pallidum spot prices. I bet they only mint a quarter ounce coin. But, with the Mint who knows? Start saving in your piggy bank.

Wonder how much it will cost. Since I like all Merc coins I could see myself adding one or two, if they make a proof, to my collection.

Charlie 1952 –

The US Mint stopped the practice of the marked bands (plastic strips around the monster boxes) starting on their bullion version coins in 2015. The bands no longer have the Mint facility that struck them printed on them & now use a generic band that just states “U.S. Mint”. They say they did this to cut costs of custom printing of different plastic strips since these are only bullion version coins that are not even individually encapsulated (they all touch against each other in the plastic packing tubes). I am glad dealers & grading companies can no longer tell which Mint facility struck them since they were charging extra for special labels.
The Mint screwed them for the first time & didn’t even realize it!

Well I guess this will be a set from the third party graders with “marked bands” on the monster boxes from which mint they were made like the bullion silver eagle with the{S} on the label
