Looking forward to seeing what the 2016 plat design will actually be. Unfortunately, as we so painfully saw w the 2015 gold HR, they have the uncanny ability to choose a terrible design (the obverse) instead of one of the far better contenders. Further, one look at Medusa's hair on the '15 plat shows how they can screw up an otherwise o.k. design. Hopefully the hair will not look as bad on the actual coin. I do love some of those designs. Hopefully one of the better ones will be chosen and well executed.

Too bad it's not circulating coinage. I'd love a "Full Nipples" designation on a slab, sorta like Rosie's FB and Franklin's FBL. Even if they abbreviated it, we'd still have an FN coin...
Am I back in high school? Such sophomoric humor...
umm....would someone tell me why people are paying ridiculous amounts of money for something that by modern standards isnt that rare???? if you dont believe me just wander through some of the spouse pops.... i guess this is the new normal for the USM now...1 per customer only... make it more rare than it is.... why anyone would pay 2x+ spot for this is just beyond me....
I have the 2013 $100 Platinum Proof. I did not have the funds for the 2015. It will be interesting to see how 2015 will do in a few years. I do have an Eleanor Roosevelt MS Gold Spouse with a mintage of around 1850 which is only selling about $300 over issue price.

Looks like 1st in hand sealed sold on Ebay today for two grand! in 49 minutes. Bummer for those who sold for $50 over purchase. Here is a great deal for anyone who missed ordering. I'd probably still with the OBO option for this listing. LOL. Good lord - gotta love some sellers.

I'd be tempted to sell mine for $2,000. But I plan to keep it.
OTOH, I'd definitely sell for that other listing's $9,999.99 asking price. And I'd personally hand-deliver it anywhere in the U.S. as soon as the payment clears.
Any takers?

Whelp, while I haven't done any sales for these and haven't heard any speculation generally the TV hucksters will buy up hot items in quantity for later resale after grading. I can't imagine the avg smoe would buy these and I am not sure zxactly how many Plat collectors there are at these levels.
Originally posted by: Raufus I wonder whether the 2016 issue will also have a 4000 mintage thus making for two low mintage keys.
If there's a quick sellout, the 2016 mintage will likely be higher. See the mintages on the recent presidential dollar Coin and Chronicle Sets. The Truman and Ike sold out in under an hour at 17,000 each, causing the Mint to raise the mintages substantially for the Kennedy and later issues.
This was a telling and possibly accurate analysis of the next offering.
As far as the complaints on pricing, as I was one of them, look back a few years for mint release pricing when platinum was high.
This issue is taking off in price more than I would've anticipated.
If platinum does rise before the next offering, regardless of mintage, this is going to be a big year of the gift.
Miles, I also thought that Manorcourtman's selling approach was saavy. Irresistable, in fact.
I also struggled with the price question for days, but my thought process evolved almost parallel to yours. Yeah, there may not be as many Plat collectors now but it could still be a gift. No guarantees, but still worth a shot.

Hi bigole, i Saw it mention about how display 2 coins in same box, do you know how it's work? Thank you
Each 2015 American Eagle One Ounce Platinum Proof Coin contains 99.95 percent platinum and is packaged in a custom–designed presentation case, allowing both 2015 and 2016 coins to be displayed together.
I love the energy behind this issue. It is been a while. I see all listings on the BST besides one that hasn't been updated are sold. That bodes well. We will see how well once they start arriving en masse.

I so wish I could convince a few family members of how silly this hobby is but they won't have it.
I received my two (mine + one ordered by my father) today.
I sold one sealed to a large dealer at a price that I couldn't resist. Hope they get a 70.
I opened the other coin to determine whether or note to grade.
Man, did I luck out! Just an amazing coin. I studied it under a loupe w/good lighting for 15 minutes. Amazing. Perfect, mirrored fields on both sides w/no distractions at all. Perfect frosted devices on both sides w/no frost breaks - even the tiny ones that I've seen w my PCGS Plat 70s. Perfectly centered strike w/perfect rims. Overall, this issues looks far better in hand than I had expected. Great and sharp contrast between fields and devices. The only thing that I don't like is the hair. WHAT were they thinking??
I must also say that the OPG is, by far, the best of any plat. In fact, other than the UHR, it's by far the best of any modern that I've seen.
It pains me to slab this one as it's a keeper. I really enjoy this coin far more in the OGP that I will slabbed just as I enjoy my UHRs in the OGP more than the slabbed 70s.
Anyway, if this is a representative coin then I think that the 70 grade through rate will be on the high end for plats.

I am thankful for all of your input as otherwise I may not have purchased one of these.

I think the Mint should adopt a one-bare-breast concept for 2016 as they did in 1916.
Man, I love Manorcourt's posting for this issue on the BST for assertiveness and selling savvy!
+1 - Great BST post!

Completed auction prices insane on the bay right now Link
When you flip it over, it has two holes, for when next year comes out!
I like it.....
The OGP is cool looking for this one.
What am I missing here??
$2499???
Thanks for the pics!!

Indeed Miles,
That's the truth!!
R-
I do detect a minuscule strand of lint! A tragedy, I tell you.
I knew it would happen.
Looking forward to receiving mine tomorrow. Nice looking Coin - thanks BackRoadJunkie for the pics.
Glad I was able to get my order in. It was a miracle on my part to even give it a try after getting shut out on the
last 3 C&C Sets.
Pristine. But I'm leaving it in the Mint packaging.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Nice pics, bigole & CoinJunkie!
Yeah, I know, all us Junkies look alike on the web...
Almost missed out on these, but threw one on the card at the advice of my father...good advice, pop!

$1750
Anyone else get $550 over $1200 on the bst flip? Just wondering. I did not buy this coin. I missed this flip. Congrats to the flippers.
Not I, but Wondercoin's complement on my BST noted.
I paid someone almost that last night. Just short of the 550.
