They’ve been very good to me, as I bought them in the 80’s, for only $400/ounce, and some folks call it a “Reverse-Proof”-they’re so much nicer then the 2006-W SAE Reverse proofs, and many say, even nicer then the gold-!

With all the rumors about the 1/2 oz. platinum, a Proof Cameo, and a “REVERSE-PROOF-will be issued, to honor their Anniversary-! Here we go again-!

If the Mint, in it’s wisdom, realizes that not too many can afford 2 oz., of Platinum Eagles, then go ahead and make 1/2 oz.platinum(s), so more can get one (RIGHT-ever try ordering one of these-GOOD-LUCK-)

If a collector buys all of a given years production of current year issues of all the coins the Mint “pumps-out”-in a calandar year, it probably would come to at least 20,000.00 PER YEAR-! If you really think about it, it’s probably closer to the $20K figure-I’ll leave that to the Auditors, and accountants-!

Playing with the silver commodities, “fixing” the price of gold, platinum, and many other precious metals, will not accomplish anything short of a “depression”. People buy gold,when they feel, and know, that the US Dollar, is hard wired directly”, in a quickly changing global economy. The question comes down to, would you prefer to have a handfull of US currency, stocks, bonds, IRA’s, coins and cash, OR a pile of gold, silver, and platinum certified coins, which is “as good as gold”!

The US Mint is “force-feeding” us with all the new coins that are available(mostly for purchase and collections). Why make 4 dollar coins since 1971, all of which failed. If you want people to stop using paper $1 bills, then cut back on the amount made.

When I was able to buy a few rolls of $1 Washinton coins, and then seeing the same rolls on eBay, for $47.00 per roll-I was “furious”-for a moment, but then remembered that I “bought” 25 rolls, and sold them all for between $47 to $55.00 per roll-! No brain surgery needed here-!! When a coin sells for more the it’s face value,it will never circulate, and wind up with all the Sacs, SBA’s, “Ike” dollars, and now the “Presidential” series-thrown in underwear, jars, cigar boxes, and you name it-!

How many mistakes does it take-? Stop making new money, whenever the Govt. needs it. They make us balance our checkbooks legally, so why different rules, for the same things?
