Message:: [QUOTE="TDRismyname, post: 1002399, member: 26939"]So what do you guys think of an NGC MS-69 $10 Platinum Eagle for 228? Good deal or no? My next coin is gonna be an MS-70 1/4th oz Gold Eagle Proof, I gotta check mintages but I think 2005 is also a low year, maybe not the lowest. If this costs me $700, is it worth it? There are only 5000 $10 Platinum Eagles made in 2005, should I look to ebay for low mintage gold coins or is that too much of a risk? I want to collect a full 2005 set of Platinum eagles, maybe not in a box (cuz it costs like 3x as much) but I have to find a 2005 1oz Eagle first. My 1oz Eagle would be lucky to be rated MS-68, and I'm tempted to bite the $50 bullet and sell it back too them... they sold me a coin with more than 5 flaws without loupe and about 10 with, It still looks great, most people would think it's perfect but right above lady liberties right eye is a chink, and on the eagle side there are several scratches in the brushed patina.... All the polished parts are perfect but there appears under loupe to be a miniature cat scratch (4 claw) into the left shoulder right by the TDR letters. I want MS-69 or MS-70  coins if I'm buying modern stuff, and I have no idea what a '98 is worth vs a 97 or 99 or, dare i say it, a 2004 or 2005. I should've gone proof but I had a feeling I'd get lucky and didn't... or did I dunno. ANYBODY HERE KNOW 1oz Pt Eagles?[/QUOTE]
