The note is stunning, but I don't see a stinking battleship.
Just guessing but 15C worth of metal.
I would not buy the coin as an investment. I would buy it because I have to have one to augment my collection. If the economy dives then platinum...
The most probable reason that platinum proofs have been selling for spot is the large increase of the spot price since the original buyer bought...
andrew, I was being global and including all of the recent and future US coins and am just venting.
A secret society where information is disseminated on how collectors can beat the dealers.
