Platinum shortage?
Well, okay, I don't know if there's a real plat shortage, or if it's another "shortage" to drive up the (falling) prices...
From coinworld:
Platinum shortfall increasing according to most recent projections
decisions, decisions
If I didn't have the 2015, I'd cross the 2016 off my list. But I have the 2015, and I think that it'd be lonely in that display case all by its lonesome...
You know, if it didn't rain, I wouldn't care about the roof. BWAhahahaha....
So, it's on sale next month... yet they haven't anounced the design??
From coinnews.net:
2015-2016 Proof American Platinum Eagle Design Candidates
The preferred design for the 2016 was the pleasingly, scantily clad Liberty shown in AEP-R-07.
But, I wont hold my breath that the Mint will get it right

Well, hopefully AFP-R-07 is chosen. It is a stunning design!
But, I wont hold my breath that the Mint will get it right
That one (AFP-R-07) is a beautiful design...but someone will complain about something about it. Dad-gum Political Correctiveness!

AEP-R-03, AEP-R-04, AEP-R-05 and AEP-R-06 depicts Liberty and an American bald eagle representing Freedom.
In designs 03, 04, and 05, Liberty encourages the eagle to take flight as an ambassador of democracy.
Design 06, a companion design to the previous three, shows Liberty continuing to nurture and sustain Freedom.
Well, hopefully AFP-R-07 is chosen. It is a stunning design!

Agree. Far too nice to actually be chosen.

It is nice, it has an older/classic look to it. I am in for one.
June 30th is my birthday, if anyone was planning on ordering one for me just let me know and I can send you my address. Thanks, BC

here's my choice:
If they HH limit it to 1, its another flippers paradise as well.
Anyone know of the mintage #'s yet? My guess is 6k, HH limit 1.

If it wasn't for the non spherical earth, (that thing is NOT round, no way the radius under the T meets with the other side) protruding into the obverse that the eagle appears to be launching off of, I'd go 9/10. Without the earth, the eagle would be in air, flopping / hover.
Remove the earth thingy. Clean field.
Too late now.
Rather this is an 8/10 situation.
Will be in, good flip potential.
.....Don't you know the Mint reads these and picks the opposite ;-)
(seems that way at least).

Either way, another coin, another woman on it. More PC stuff from the mint!
I don't see PC stuff when I see a depiction of liberty on the coin as the woman.
I see PC when I see a "famous" or "historical" woman that is forced on a coin. SBA. 1st Spouse coins. Sacagawea.
These look ok. Maybe the 1st platinum coin I purchase.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Now, you all need to keep quiet about what we think is attractive!!!

Wouldn't surprise me a bit. LOL.
I do think that the '15 plat is a fantastic issue. I love that coin.
The R-07 design is fantastic. If they actually mint it instead of some PC garbage it will be just an amazing coin. I'd be totally stoked about this plat subset. Fingers crossed but the PC police will likely kill it. Time will tell...
I really love such allegorical designs. In fact, my most expensive numismatic purchase is not a coin but a note. I laid out big $ for a very nice $5 Educational Series note specifically because I love the allegorical obverse design as well as the theme. The R-07 design kinda reminds me of the Educational series notes. I just can't believe that the Mint would actually mint such a fantastic design - it's just not PC enough.
So, it's on sale next month... yet they haven't anounced the design??
AEP-R-06 looks like it has a big thumb print on it at 4:30.

Let me get this straight....a BULLION Platinum Coin is to be issued on June 30th, 2016 by the US Mint and they have not YET announced the final Die Design?
Yet, it is obvious that due to the extreme and unforgiving nature of minting proof platinum coins the dies have been prepared and are known internally by employees that work at the US Mint ?
This information has NOT yet leaked ??
LOL !
Well now, if that 07 design is in fact what is coming....I might be going after my first platinum addition to the pirate chest.
Me too.

Well, R06 and R07 were both recommended last year as the 2015/2016 APE proof.
They accepted and produced R06 last year, I would assume (there's that word) that R07 is still the version they'll do this year.
I'd have to think that with only 4 weeks left before release that they're already in production at West Point. They'd still have to be packaged and shipped to Memphis before the end of next month.
If they're still having sourcing problems, they may only make 4,000 this year. If they found a supplier, they could up that to 7,500, about the average they've sold over the past 15 years.
BTW, the 2017 APE proof design will go back to the original 1997 design for the 20th anniversary. The mint hasn't said if they'll be a special issue or finish for the 20th anniversary.

If it goes back to 2015, I'll go with these two, AEP-R-08, offset USOA and AEP-R-09, obverse / reverse

PM's are on a bull right now. Plat is up $35 in the past 7 days. Should it stay between $1000 and 1049.99 (approx $1010 right now), price goes up to $1400.
(Last year's was $1200, when plat was $845 spot.)
