Message:: [QUOTE="Aberlight, post: 415202, member: 6510"]I sold my platinum at $1875 -1950 with an average cost of $770 from several ounces in 1997-1999. Would have sold at $2300 after S. Africa cut production, but got greedy as I thought the sky was the linit.  After the fall back to $1800 I told my self if it hit $2000 I would sell and did. Overall my profit is very nice and if I sold my remaining 2006 W 1/10 and 1/4 for a $1 I would still be doing very well. In short I do pay attention to the price of Au & Pt. I held on to the 1/10 and 1/4 oz because of the extreme low mintage and at this point am not to worried about falling Pt prices. From what I gather the 1/10 oz still has a approx price level of $400 and the 1/4 $900, but it is a thin market and prices are volatile. At this point with falling Pt prices my only concern is 2008 will become the new key date kicking 2006 to spot. In addition the 2009 "unity" theme is dog ugly and may be an even greater lower mintage. Even if it is low there are many others to follow that may be even uglier. The 2006 reverse is somewhat classical to me and I really like it, but the 2008 design compared to the Eagle/owl combo is enticing and depending what happens by year end I may just have to buy a 1/10.[/QUOTE]
