While there were 2,500 2006 1oz platinum coins minted, 2000 went into sets which I feel few owners will want to splt up. That leaves only 500 examples available for collectors to fight over. It's going to be a very rare coin to find after the flippers are finished. Mine will not be available for a long time.

When the price on these blows through the ceiling a lot of the sets WILL be broken up. Might even find some deals on the fractionals at that time.
I voted for 1995-W Silver Eagle. It is not just the mintage that counts, it is also demand. There are lots of extremely low mintage coins like the Canadian platinum sets that don't sell for much over melt because demand is lacking.
1995 W because of the huge collector base for the series. I own the 2004 1/2 ounce and all the 2006 W and the reverse gold but don't think they compare. JMHO.

I am in the same boat.
I will need to sell some of my inventory to afford to keep the rest......I would like to keep all of the plat type coins for a very long time. I bought a load of the fractional golds and will more than likely unload about half of the gold W coins and about 1/3 of the plats. After that getting me to part with any will take some serious work.
The gold may produce a larger percentage gain than the legislative Unc plats but I like to collect by design so thats what I want to hold for my personal collection.

I'm a civilian tech rep for the Marine Corps and have been for about 11 years now. I fully understand your vote for the Marine Corps Commen.
I worked in an office in 29 Palms with a retired MasterGuns who got me started again on coin collecting. He turned me on to the Marine Corps Commen. and I opted not to order one or more because I was a Squid on active duty and I didn't want to feel like a wannabe.
Now I'm sorry I never bought one. It would look just right next to all my challenge / unit coins.

A ton of collectors of silver eagles and only 30,000 of the key date.
Rare by the standards of how many collectors there are.

I understand this thinking; I selected the 2006 Gold Reverse proof over the platinum because there are many more collectors of gold than platinum.
