Message:: [QUOTE="RickieB, post: 175903, member: 2486"]Hello ND86.... Thanks....I have been collecting the platinum all along. Just the 1/10 th oz and 1/4 oz in both proof and uncirc. The 2006 uncirc with the "W" mint mark and obverse of the proof 06 APE was a gift from the mint!It, in my opinion will be the coin to have for the set as time goes by.My primary focus in collecting is the entire American Eagle Series....long way to go but I have completed well over 1/2 of all the coins. I am proud to say that I have all PCGS MS and PRF 69 with the one exception of a MS68 on the 1991 1/2 oz Uncirc AGE. In fact you will find a thread on CT where I had completed the 1/10 oz APE set both proof and uncirc. Platinum is a rare Earth metal and one that is difficult  to mint as well. It's physcial properties are very hard. My only problem with the APE is that it is difficult to afford all the sets. I have been adding select proof coins in the 1/2 oz denomination...I think I have 3 or 4 of them.Oh well..I am sure that when time comes for the 20th Anniversary for the APE it will be a special event as well. I was lucky enough to get the 3 piece gold AGE set this time around.BTW..I did pick up all the fractional "W" AGE Uncircs as well! Wishing all who read this the Best of the Holiday Season and a Great collecting New Year!! RickieB[/QUOTE]
