I'm going to take you step by step through this insanity!
NGC PR69 2000 Proof Platinum $10 madness...
THIS FLAWLESS BEAUTY DOESN,T NEED NO EXPLANATIONS!!!!
Actually, flawless would be PR70 Ultra Cameo, and since you didn't mention "tenth oz" or $10" in the auction description, it does need some explanations.

2004 5,833 4,886 5,305 6,846 **
With a mintage of 15,600, the 2000 proof $10 isn't even close to the rarest.
FULL PROOF SET SELLS FOR $8550 AND UP!!!!!
Err, is that American or Liberian dollars? Here's one that sold for
under $2100.
GRADED PF79 ULTRA CAMEO BY ONE OF THE BEST GRADING COMPANY IN ENTIRE WORLD--NGC !!!!
PR79! Wow, that is rare!

I don't know about that, I was on the fence, but your ALL CAPS TYPING really sold me!
#002 OF ONLY 172 PIECES IN ALL ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!
Ummm, are you talking about NGC pop reports? How many were graded PR70? Heck, PCGS alone has graded 484 PR69DCAM, but most proof platinum collectors (myself included) prefer the look of the original packaging and COA to some cold slabbing company.
YOU,LL DOUBLE YOUR MONEY WITHIN ONE-TWO YEARS!!!
Or your money back! Yeah, right.
PLUS PLATINUM IT SELF ON TREMENDOUS RISE HOW!
Just not tremendous enough to hit $2100/oz by 2008.
SUPER GIFT FOR YOUR VALENTINE !!!! THERE NEVER LATE FOR THE PERFECT GIFT
Valentine's Day was a month and a half ago; unless you show up at her doorstep with a big diamond ring and a pair of tickets for a cruise to Hawaii, you're up s*** creek, you big unromantic forgetful oaf.

Not to mention that since this auction is for a 1997-W (not a 2000-W), it looks like it's actually the most common year.

This may not be quite so far fetched as it sounds, but it's about the only reasonable statement in the entire auction.
I don't know if platinum will make $2100/oz. by the end of 2008, but I personally wouldn't be surprised by that at all if it does come to pass.
One thing I wouldn't bet against these days and in the next couple of years are precious metals.
