<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aberlight, post: 227278, member: 6510&quot;]The 15,000 limit on Platinum anniversary sets seems to be posted everywere. Is there a official number published or is this a rumor?</p><p><br /></p><p>One key item here that is being over looked is the spread premium over bullion melt. The 2006 W 1/4 trades for $1250.00 or so on Ebay and the metal value is&nbsp; $330.00 for a spread premium of $920.00. Since I paid $380.00 for the coin last fall the future premium can fluctate along with the price of platinum. In essence the value of metal can fall to $1 and as long as the demand is present to maintain a premium of $379.00 I wouldn&#039;t lose money if I sold. Granted the price of platinum wont fall this much, but as a collector I feel that the low production numbers will offset the price of platinum if and when it falls. This is the first year in 6 years there is surplus of platinum on the market. </p><p><br /></p><p>The question of maintining a premium price is key. In 1999 I bought 1920&#039;s&nbsp; MS 62 -63 st augustine $20 for $350 or a premium $90 over then gold prices. The price of gold has gone up, but not the premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the Platinum Eagle set sells for $2500 and there are (3) 1/2 oz&#039;s of Platinum the premium is $500 over melt @ $2000.00. If the sets become worth $3500 than you a spread premium of $1500.00 that can offset any decline in Platinum Value. Granted the premiums can fluctate, but I would buy this before any Little Rock Commermative or Golden Dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
