<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alhas, post: 300812, member: 6275&quot;]I believe, the acceptance/demand for collecting platinum in majority of international markets is nonexistent.&nbsp; Gold dominates worldwide for jewelry and hording.&nbsp; The poor, in the emerging countries, will even save on food to buy gold for jewelry, dowry etc.&nbsp; The very rich in middle eastern countries (oil rich) and the emerging world measure their wealth in gold from beginning of time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for coin collecting in USA, I believe the mintage of 1/2 oz APE Proof is relatively very high compared to prior years.&nbsp; The total mintage of 1/2 oz APE proof is 45,000 (5,000 singles, 10,000 in 4-coin set and 30,000 in the 10th Anniversary set)!&nbsp; I like the &quot;Enhanced&quot; Reverse Proof coin but the high mintage of 30,000 is of concern.&nbsp; I may just buy the Reverse Proof, if reasonable, in the after market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
