Questions re: 2011 Platinum and Palladium coins

jmski52

Does anybody know:

1) Did they make a final decision on the design for the 2011 1 oz. Proof Platinum Eagles yet?

2) Did they submit the required study that must be done before the 1 oz. bullion Palladium Eagles are to be produced?

Just askin. Thanks.

Any pics yet and any thoughts on demand for the 2011 platinum eagle?

Officially I don't think they've picked a design yet, but I do like the liberty and dove design. There's 2 of them to consider but I'd have to see them again to pick which one I like the best. Probably won't purchase one though due to it's just too damn expensive.

I assumed that since it was going on sale soon there would be a picture of the design that was picked. I guess I should have known better. Gotta luv the mint!

I can't believe there is no advance picture of an upcoming product. again!

Maybe they haven't decided on the design yet, and plan to strike them on the 25th?

"Thank You for your order, your 2011 Platinum Eagle is on backorder and expected ship date is September 15, 2011."

SNMAN,
Could you please provide the steps you took to convert the URL I provided to the "linky" in this world of "Collectors Universe." I tried, but was not successful.
Thanks!

If it's 01, 02, 03 or 07 - I'll purchase one. I'll pass on all others.

1. there is no guarantee there will be a Palladium coin

2. the law specifies that one will be made or not made, as determined by the marketing study.


I hear that the marketing study contract is about to be or just has been awarded. (We're in the neighborhood of that point of the process. I'm not 100% where.)




So.... there is still a way to go.

If struck according to these deisgns, this will be an absolutely gorgeous coin.

Agreed, I have always loved the winged LIBERTY head design, and that reverse eagle is one of the most beautiful designs ever.

DC, that is beautiful!

Awesome coin dcarr! You're quite talented to say the least....

Does anyone know whether or not we'll get the Minuteman design for the plat eagle next year? The Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) choose an awful eagle and shield design over the Minuteman design that I think all collectors actually want. Ugh, do we really need another eagle w/shield design :? I would prefer nearly half of the submitted designs to the eagle and shield.

Unimaginative 2012 design. Guess I will not be buying next year. Means I won't have to buy the 2011 though its at $1792 right now at the mint. Rip off of the cent design.
