Message:: [QUOTE="TDRismyname, post: 976457, member: 26939"]Just got it and it's a '98 (highest mintage, but 12 yo). It's in "uncirculated condition"... although it's no MS-70 under 10x. I'd be lucky to get MS-69... my guess is 67-69 depending on what PCGS thinks is a big prob vs a small one... it has a few VERY small scratches (only visible under 10x) in the backround surrounding the eagle and on the front surrounding the Statue of Liberty. I counted a total of 5 errors. Will post pics tommorrow when the light is good. Ignoring guy who said bullion/coin is a different topic... they merge in this coin. Didn't bother to read his post. This is the ONLY coin you can put in an IRA as an investment in the coin's value over time... vs the metal. Anyway, IMHO platinum isn't as pretty as gold but it's just as good as silver and it never tarnishes. If you like that look (and the sales of white gold will tell you a good majority of people perfer it), there is no metal better for jewlery. It's hard to work, but the results are worth it. I think you guys will like the appearance of this 12 yo coin... pretty amazing it lasted this long in this condition.[/QUOTE]
