platinum have gone down almost $600 an ounce, might be too late to sell. Didn't pay attention to platinum prices, I should've sold mine too.

I sold my platinum at $1875 -1950 with an average cost of $770 from several ounces in 1997-1999. Would have sold at $2300 after S. Africa cut production, but got greedy as I thought the sky was the linit. After the fall back to $1800 I told my self if it hit $2000 I would sell and did. Overall my profit is very nice and if I sold my remaining 2006 W 1/10 and 1/4 for a $1 I would still be doing very well. In short I do pay attention to the price of Au & Pt. I held on to the 1/10 and 1/4 oz because of the extreme low mintage and at this point am not to worried about falling Pt prices. From what I gather the 1/10 oz still has a approx price level of $400 and the 1/4 $900, but it is a thin market and prices are volatile. At this point with falling Pt prices my only concern is 2008 will become the new key date kicking 2006 to spot. In addition the 2009 "unity" theme is dog ugly and may be an even greater lower mintage. Even if it is low there are many others to follow that may be even uglier. The 2006 reverse is somewhat classical to me and I really like it, but the 2008 design compared to the Eagle/owl combo is enticing and depending what happens by year end I may just have to buy a 1/10.

Those of us that buy "bullion" coinage from the Mint, whether it be silver, gold or platinum, should not buy it with the intention of making any kind of profit or we will be surely disappointed. We should buy it because we like the coinage and nothing else. I can sit here all day and kick myself for buying the buffalo coins at the prices that I bought them for, but what good would that do. The mint won't change their prices just because the market took a downturn. If the value of the precious metals goes up, then that is just a bonus for us collectors. We must realize that the value of these coins most likely will never be determined by supply and demand, but rather by the value of that particular metal at any given time. Who knows.... maybe twenty years from now we will be the ones laughing all the way to the bank.

it seems the buffalo gold series sell well. the mintages might be high as compare to others. i don't think it can fly high. the next two years or so might be the right time to buy them.
