2007 W Platinum Proofs are Dark at US Mint

Comments

  • I think its because they will reprice BOTH Unc & Proofs together.
  • Coinboy have you heard if they are going to have the special reverse proof platinum set that was talked about on here?

    JA
    I have noted that persons with bad judgment are most insistent that we do what they think best.
  • i think they might be out,with the unc. not available for the last month.proof says not available,unc says not at this thime.
    coinboy you seem to know your mintages on coins,what is the mintage on the 2006 w $5 gold.sitting on 263 of them,hoping the 2007 w has a higher mintage.thanks for your help.
  • Welcome to the Forum.

    The RP has been talked about by the US Mint, as they have allowed Staff to be quoted on it.

    That said, you will find that as far as the Mint is concerned, talk is cheap.

    I will believe it when I see it.

    Some dealers have been quoted as saying the mint confirmed a mid December release for the Platinum anniversary set.

    I ass-u-me you mean the Burnished Unc Eagles.

    21,000 sold - $5 2006 W Unc Gold

    about 19,357 sold - $5 2007 W Unc Gold

    You should be fine with your holdings, once they start selling again. I have no doubt they will.

    Not to mention some of those $5 2006 W Unc Gold may have been sold for melting.

    My last mintage info on the Burnished 2006-W AGEs was:

    1/10th oz. - 25,650

    1/4th oz. - 19,925

    1/2 oz. - 18.850

    1 oz. - 49,975

    Coinboy, is my info outdated, again? What do you have for the other fractional 2006-Ws?

    I wasn't clear enough. Coinboy, what mintage data do you have for the other fractional 2006-Ws? Is there new data?

  • FBL's Numbers from NN

    I was actually using FLBuffaloHunter's numbers.

    jmski52, what is your source? Have I missed something? Please don't say it was from CoinWorld's July Article.

    NOT a snowball's chance in Hell!

    They have them already Minted and in stock.

    US Mint makes money selling EAGLE Coins, i.e. Gold, Silver & Platnium. This is a huge revenue and profit center.

    They will be selling them right into 2008, guaranteed.

    Agreed that 07 PLATS will be sold again, most likely into 2008. There is remaining inventory to sell.
  • pf70collectorpf70collector Posts: 6,723 ✭✭✭
    But will they sell them out? Plat is getting ridiculously high. The 1/10 oz will do well.

    I'm embarassed to say that I don't remember where I got those numbers, but I'm sure that it was discussed here. I always use the most conservative estimates until there is an official mintage announcement, or what serves as one. It may well have been from Coin World. Is there reason to question their numbers?

    I would very much prefer that the lower numbers were reality, but until we get something definite, I keep asking the same question. Who really knows the AGE 2006-W Burnished final mintage numbers? Anyone?

  • Buy all you can!! There isn't hardly any, on the bay!! With the readjusted price, they could be key!!
    SEE the BULL!! BUY the BULL!! BE the BULL!! Do your homework first. And, you will learn alot!!
  • Its a fun game to play, but my money is betting that both the proofs and w-unc plat will be back in stock before too long. I STILL don't understand why they just can sell them on a daily basis for spot + 15% image

    They probably are done with them, except for the remaining inventory they have to sell!!!!

    I agree. Anyone other than the Mint could just set a premium on the coin that fluxuates wuth the market but the Mint, "run by idiots" has to go get permision from some "idiot" congress people and since it's idiots talking to other idiots it will take until 2008 to sort this out so they will just melt down the remaining stock and try again next year. That means 2007 plats are going to go at a premium.

    This only means the Unc. will be up for sale very soon. Platinum has been stable for the past month. Unlike gold.

    Neither the 2007 Unc. or Proof Platinums will be key. The mintages for the Proof are already above 2004 and the Unc. is only about 100 away from 2006. As soon at the 2007 Unc. go on sale again, they will pass the 2006.

    My opinion is; if you are collecting, then buy what you need, if your trying to play the market, I don't think 2007 will be anything special. (except for the Anniv.).

    Just got my 1/10 oz proof less than a week ago!!!!
  • I was going to buy a 4 coin proof platinum set the other day from the Mint. I had it in my cart, but decided not to buy it. Today I looked and it was still in the cart but the Mint changed the price to $3207.95. I think the Mint is going to sell them, but for more money, unless they change their mind .... again!!!
  • pf70collectorpf70collector Posts: 6,723 ✭✭✭
    The plats are getting way too expensive to continue collecting. Maybe the 1/10 and 1/4 but no more sets for me.
  • kiyotekiyote Posts: 5,588 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The 2005s aren't keys either, but the proofs are performing pretty well in the aftermarket.

    With the Reverse proof coming out, Uncs, W-uncs and normal proofs, I'm at the point where I have to decide to either stop collecting platinum $50.00 coins or ONLY collect $50.00 platinum coins.

    Proofs: Everyone's favorite with a new design every year.
    UNC Ws: The new kid, ultra low mintages with the same design as the proofs. (Boo, hiss)
    UNCs: A great bullion play, totally ignored, possibly getting melted like crazy.
    Reverse proofs: If they do 10,000, then it's over-rated but might bring in new collectors

  • The Platinum Proofs & Unc. are back up on the mint web site with new prices..

    Anybody have PCGS coin #'s for the 07w Proof Plats ?
  • BECOKABECOKA Posts: 16,961 ✭✭✭
    Wow, $1740.95. Not sure how many they will sell at that price. I had a hard time swallowing last years price.

    Why do they bother with the .95? Just round to an even number.
  • Timed just right with the big drop in platinum prices today.

    07-W Plats PCGS #

    $10 -149573
    $25 -149575
    $50 -149577
    $100-149579
