<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 92883, member: 4626&quot;]Based on previous ones, if they keep to normal mintages, the uncirculated will stick to about melt value, unless certified in a high condition (69 or 70), and the proof will stay around double or triple melt value, unless especially rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically this coin will do whatever silver does.</p><p><br /></p><p>I imagine platinum eagles will do more, as they&#039;re pretty rare... the one ounce is usually minted at only around 5000 a year (somewhat more for the smaller ones) and has a new reverse design every year.&nbsp; They&#039;d be a decent investment even if platinum hangs where it&#039;s at or even drops.</p><p><br /></p><p>The gold and silver ones are nice designs, and an easy way to invest in gold or silver... but nothing separates one minted this year from next year or last year, except the date stamped on it.&nbsp; Pardon my pessimism, lol... but it&#039;s hard for me to get too excited about them, after I&#039;ve bought 2 or 3.&nbsp; I may get a proof silver one eventually, maybe a gold one, but after that don&#039;t see the point in getting more, except as a token precious medal investment.&nbsp; Numismatically they don&#039;t excite me much after I have one of each.&nbsp; Love the coin... but I don&#039;t get excited over having one year rather than another.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the record I currently own one each of 1988, 1990, and 1999 silver eagles uncirculated (which seems to me to be a redundant term, except to distinguish them from proofs, as these are not intended to circualte anyway.&nbsp; Though my 1990 was given to me as if it were a $1 coin, lol...).&nbsp; The 1988 early in m coin collecting days and the 1999 I bought on a whim because I saw a good deal on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
