It got better!

 

Should have seen the PF-66 Cameo 1884 Quarter I passed up on yesterday, finest known. Quarters just aren't my thing. Besides, I was on and am still on the prowl for cheap platinum.

 

Hardly the ultimate. Try the Unc 2008 W 1/2 oz platinum. Total mintage so far 126 coins. For gold how about the Unc 2008 W 1/2 oz gold. Total mintage so far 824 coins. And at the moment I believe the Mint has suspended the sale of both of them. If they don't restart sales, those will be final mintages.

 

suspension

the suspended items were the platinum series. while the gold is still selling and few were sold. gold 1/2 unc (w) mintage is 2,155 instead of 824. and it will be more with two pcs. 8-8-08 set is counted.

 

The 2008 W 1/2 oz platinum has a total mintage of 579 and the 2008W UNC 1/2 oz has a total mintage of 5276. You have to add the individual mintage for each coin along with the 4 coin set to get the total mintage.

But Condor, point well made, in fact all the UNC platinum coins have a mintage under 700, with the exception of the 1/10 oz which is a tad above 1000. Will all these coins be worth a fortune in 5,10, or 50 years?

I guess this goes back to the concept of supply and demand having some influence over the prices. Why doesn't some of the first spouse coins command high premiums when there are (and maybe will be) less than 5000 produced and they can't sell for melt and then a 1 oz gold piece with 10k minted now goes for three or four times its melt value? Demand outstrips supply. I guess about a year or so ago, I was having a tough time with this concept and GD summed it all up very nicely.

After seeing the success of the 06 rev proof AGE, this was one of my main reasons for buying the 07 rev proof APE. As of now, the value isn't there because the damand isn't there. Maybe that will change 20 yrs down the road and we will be the ones laughing. But right now, I am just glad the mint has suspended the sales of the 10th anniversary set. As of the Sept 23rd issue of NN, there are 18,046 of the rev proof APE produced.

 

well u didnt tell me so how would i know
