    can see why the dealers or dealer would like it shut down
    I agree.

    Looks like my early projection of 25% was conservative!

  • It would be interesting to know if Mitch's totals are in the mix. With him and his Tulving buddies I am sure they made a dent.

    That number supports my theory that if was not for Eric alerting the board (thanks Eric image )about these they probably would not have sold out as fast as they did. I thought you were about right one with your guess of 25% purchase rate but obviously we may have underestimated the number of people who got in before they were gone.

    These numbers seem to indicate, that a concerted action by Forum members

    can ,in fact, have an impact, on sectors of the coin market, Well done Forum and

    thank you Eric.

    This large holding of a very rare and desireable issue, will now await the

    increase demand by collectors aought napping. There has been a significent leap of

    value over issue price and as demand rapidly increases, prices will steadily increase

    over the next several years starting in 2007. The Platinum set represents a keeper,

    if you can afford to do so. Patience, will be rewarded by outsized returns.

    I agree, the coin vault is helping advertise this series. This board my have 25% of the 1 oz coins but it's not even 1% of the total coin collectors/invertors. This series will be purchased by the "so called" invertor types too IMO.
  • I am impressed at how many of these Platinums forumintes bought. I just hope you don't all try to sell at the same time. image
  • I got 4 of the 1oz Plats...

  • This is insane...I would of never thought we on this forum cleaned up on now it looks to be over 25% of the 1 OZ coins. Congrats to all of you. image

    We must have high credit limits or piles of cash lying around...Hopefully the latter.

    Yep.....better hope other people actually want them as well...otherwise, speculation could hurt those that hold mid-term..........

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • Andy,

    We want to respect everyones privacy, but do you have an indication as to the percentage of the 660 are set 1 OZers vs single coins?
  • MrEurekaMrEureka Posts: 24,194 ✭✭✭✭✭
    but do you have an indication as to the percentage of the 660 are set 1 OZers vs single coins?

    No, but if you go back through the thread and count the ones posted, I'll do the same with my PMs.

    Edited to say that too many of the PMs did not indicate whether the coins were bought individually or as part of a set, so I'm not going to be much help with this.

    What if the Mint made Golden Bears?

  • << <i>What if the Mint made Golden Bears? >>



    There was a place called Rarities Mint back in the 80's that struck coins they called Golden Bears that was supposedly struck with 100% California gold, I believe they struck 3 or four coin sets.
  • (2) 1oz (4) 4pc sets . ** Bought All because of forum fever running thru my blood like a cheap high** Well maybe not so cheap. The Reverse on these Platinum coins are killer classic type . Old time eye appeal . The mint did it right on the 2006-W Unc Plat .

    Well, we're at 666, which seems like the perfect place to end this survey. image

    The weak holders are really starting to list on eBay. too many IMO. Guess a lot of people went in over their heads and will have CC payments coming due. If you can afford to hold them, do so.

    Thank you Eureka for the Plat compilation.
    666 is a huge percentage of the overall mintage!
