If you like the coin, then yes. But from a future value standpoint, it’s all up to the metals market. Look at what’s happened to the 2010-ish proof platinum eagles...
I like the design, but can't justify the cost. Maybe eventually palladium will take a drop and I'll pick one up. I just wanted to see folks thoughts and if they were any different from my own.
I also like the design but can't afford it. https://catalog.usmint.gov/american...mmca1=Marketing&cm_mmca2=Active&cm_mmca3=19EK
I was a big buyer of the previous two (multiple mint accounts to flip as many as possible), but I am a big pass on this one. Way too many made and way too expensive.
I got one, may take all next year to pay for it. Looks like it's not going to be a fast sell out like the last two.
So, there were over 3,000 returns in the first week, and with the price now $50 higher, I don’t see the net sales going up in the near future. Unless the bottom falls out of palladium, this one may sell fewer than the other two versions... The reverse proof is not nearly as striking as the proof or bullion coins. I normally like the high contrast look between frosted and polished features on reverse proofs, but it doesn’t really work on this one for some reason. If they would have gone with more of a matte/flat finish for the field instead of the textured frost, it would have probably looked better.
