What are your thoughts regarding the reverse proof design?

Pretty darn nice looking if you ask me. It makes me want to buy one of the early "reverse proof" platinum coins in the 1oz size.

 

I am wondering with so much of it being frosted will contact marks be evident? Was this a problem with the Gold and Silver Reverse proofs?

I want one of these, but the reverse proof looks so much like the early Uncs that had a similar reverse proof finish.

 

I just wish the Mint would stop it's recent insane madness of changing the obverse and reverse of their coins at a mere whim.

 

Lady liberty looks a lot better than the traditional Platnum Proofs. To me she looks a little stoned in those lol

 

The reverses look great! I sure wich I had the money for them!

 

Unfortunately, there won't be any 1oz reverse platinum coins released. They'll only be released in the anniversary set, one 1/2oz proof and one 1/2oz reverse proof.

 

A whim?
Now THATS funny.
I wouldn't call a 3 coin series honoring the branches of the US government a whim. I'd call it a carefully thought out and well executed series.

I guess one guys commem is some other guys whim.

andrew, I was being global and including all of the recent and future US coins and am just venting.

 

Here's a better picture:

 

Two kidneys and god only required me to use one. Once I get back from Mexico the platinum reverse proof set is mine.

 

I know, but the early platinum coins featured a reverse proof like finish. I want a 1oz one of those.

 

I think the changing designs make the series much more interesting.

 

It's hard for me to tell if i like it until i see it in person. I'm thinking it will look much nicer than the pictures. I decided to purchase a set. The 2006 silver eagle reverse proof has been selling from $550 to $900 in PF70 NGC form. And those are one ounce of silver, platinum is 100 times the silver price(remember it's only a half ounce of platinum though).

 

18,000 - 20,000 have sold as of 8:30 CT.

 

Wow! It looks like they will easily hit the maximum mintage then.

 

still 10000 to go going by what Aberlight said it will take some time to sell out

 

Orders are estimated to have begun at 27469000 and last order number I saw was 27491000 as of this 9:00 CT....22,000 orders placed today at the mint. Granted there are orders for other things, but most of the traffic is likely the RP Platinum.
