Goodness Girl...You're Huge!!!

This one blows me away...

I'm not a huge fan of numismatics, during the coming debt crisis, the premiums likely won't hold up. But I think there is some upside to the US Mint's limited mintage Platinum and Palladium products. And this years Proof Palladium coin is the first for the US Mint and with a mintage around 15,000 units worldwide, I don't mind the $350 premium I paid.

Demand for this coin was/is insane and all 15,000 or so sold out in 4.5 minutes and I was lucky to have gotten one.

This is truly a stunning high relief coin and its definitely one of my favorites. The thickness of this coin can't be understated. Its the thickest US mint coin I've ever seen.

The rear of the coin also has a stunning Eagle design.

...and she's Chunky as hell too...

That's a good looking box too although coins like this used to come in a wood box from the US Mint so this is the lower rent version. If I'm dropping $1,385 on a coin, at least give me some wood for crying out loud.

This one is going into deep storage...as soon as it comes back from NGC. I already sent it out to be graded...lets hope it comes back a PF70!!!

That's a beautiful coin. Absolutely Stunning!

Thanks man!

Holy hell! That thing gave me wood with just a glance 😳😜😁🤩

🍆🕺

An absolutely gorgeous coin! Holy hell 🤘😎

Do you think that demand is somewhat driven by all the emails I got offering $100 if I bought the coin and sold it to Provident other major online sites?

Either way, that is a hell of coin, and I agree, the eagle is stunning!!!

For sure...one dealer email I got was offering $500 over the US Mint List...just nuts. The same thing happened with the 2015 Platinum coin...they only made 3,900 of those.

That is a stunning coin and you will receive double the premium you paid if you want to sell it now.

PF70s are going for $3,000+ on EBay right now, but I don't think I'll sell it.

That is one pretty coin!!!

Nice. Here in Fiji in the Reserve Bank they have an interesting collection of coins and not only from Fiji. I'll try to post some photos about that.

I'd like to see them

Very nice score, Wow they sold out very fast!

I have fast fingers...TWSS

She’s a beauty

That's Beautiful @matthewwarn

Very nice! CONGRATS, @matthewwarn! AWESOME coin! Let us hope it comes back a PF70!!!!

As premiums have always gone up during debt crises in the past what makes you think they will go down this time?
