Does anyone collect modern US platinum coins?

I've collected the plat Proof sets from the get-go. I didn't order the Unc set at first but after watching this board, jumped in both feet.

Got the 2006 w (thanks to all the advice around here) and a set for each year of the proof. They are very shiny

I'd been collecting both the proofs and the MS plats from the outset, though I sold my run of MS 69s last year to fund another purchase.

The proofs are best looking coins the Mint has produced in decades, IMO. They've been very pricey, though, and a numismatic backwater until the recent frenzy over the 2006-Ws here. You didn't see many posts, beyond an occasion reference to and picture of a proof reverse.

I NO LONGER SEE 2006-W 4-Coin SETS IN ORIGINAL MINT BOXES ON EBAY ANYMORE!

The deadline for PCGS First Strikes has wiped out ALL the boxed sets - and singles too!
