Well there are enough to satisfy 4,596 at last years all time low mintage. 596 of those people will not get one of these, thats a guarantee.
Coins are the worst investment in the world, but still the best collectible.
I do like some darkside Plats … and they're wonderful pieces of our short history lesson in coins. Economics plays a big part in what ends up as "key" coins. I see a bright future for some of the coins minted by many countries. And that's all I need to put down on this subject. Other than : "I like 'em". Platinum coins.

Perhaps, but how many of those 4,596 are collectors and not investors or flippers?
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."
Goldbully said: Is it possible for this APE to be reduced to $1,150 with the low platinum prices?
unlikely. The average for first 3 of the 5 days this week = $836. For the Mint prices to go down to $1150, Platinum would have to close below $750/oz today & tomorrow so that the average falls below $800/oz
There do not seem to be many of the 2014's one ounce proof platinums for sale now. I believe that coin was on sale for several months, so maybe not many flippers for that issue. The 2015 will be different with a fixed low mintage with more flippers going after this coin. I am still on the fence on this. I thought I might buy, but now not so sure.
Its a play on the metal, with a numismatic twist. Just like all PM moderns.
You're a believer, or you are not. Demand is the key.
And im betting that many of the naysayers here will be posting their mint order number Thursday at 12:00.
Exactly. People trying to convince others not to buy, only to be posting their order numbers and WTS on the BST. Its hilarious and really discredits the member in my book.
I'm unimpressed by this coin/nclt design. Someone please tell me what short term up-side this has..... I remember doing very well in 2006? with Platinum eagles. I'm intrigued by the mintage promised here.
It will be impossible to judge tomorrows possible Mint sales for the APE's proofs. The 5 oz "pucks" will also be available at the same time and normally generate approx 15k the first day.

I guarantee you I will not buy this mint offering. Someone's expression of his opinion is another persons' "convince others not to buy". Whatever.
I'm in for two, possibly three Medusa coins. With 7 days to send them back perhaps we'll have an idea of how they'll do by then. It's beyond belief that this hair can look as it does. There are no coins that the Mint has such artistic license on as these. So much potential to make them great and yet again we see another missed opportunity. I wish that I could get past the hair as, beyond that, it's not bad. But then there is the hair.... What a bummer. BTW, the point about the puck going on sale at the same time is a great one. This will, as stated, make Medusa much harder to track barring a fast sell out which seems unlikely.
Its happened before and it will happen again epcjimi. All good though.
whatever that means
Others here have had some very negative posts of the years, reducing "hype" over a particular issue only to be either promoting it or posting on the BST as WTB in quantity that same issue that they spoke so negatively on.
This has happened before, and it will happen again. That was what I meant.
Pass. I might have considered it, even if just to resell to one of the dealers that are offering, but I won't be home to sign for it and I don't want to delegate the responsibility to my house-sitter.

Right, and the 2015-P Saratoga ATB 5-oz. silver quarter has an issue limit of 20K. This is 5 times the limit of the 2015 proof Platinum Eagle, but the "puck" is probably more than 5 times more popular with collectors and is available at 1/8 the price of the platinum coin.
almost a 50% markup? no thanks (for my personal collection)
as far as flipping goes: lets say they do sell out relatively fast. To really get a descent flip on one of these, there has to be a demand for this coin. There will certainly be a few out there who have to have one because of the low mintage, but those folks will probably (& should) buy one from the get go directly from the mint. How many people are there that can drop $1200 on a coin . . . not many I would think that aren't plugged in to the knowledge base to know that there are only 4000 and that they should just buy one from the Mint directly
I've been bit once too many times thinking I'll make a good profit flipping a "high demand" coin from the Mint, only to find out that there really isn't enough of a demand, and there are way too many flippers out there doing the same thing. pass this time.
I think i got 2 but i know for sure 1. I had the 2nd one in cart and hit the confirm button where it process the order and the page crashed. I have not got an email on either one yet so I am hoping the 2nd on went threw.

This year's offerings are no exception to that.
I'm still trying to figure out the "Liberty Nurtures Freedom" thing.
That's easy. Liberty is asking Freedom for a handout. "Can you spare a dime?" Fairly accurate for a coin dated 2015.

I'm *****uming a constant PM price..........Pt has been oversold for some time now.
How much the coin is getting trashed on the various forums......
The more it gets trashed, the more I want to buy one. Always opposite the trend.
unlikely. The average for first 3 of the 5 days this week = $836. For the Mint prices to go down to $1150, Platinum would have to close below $750/oz today & tomorrow so that the average falls below $800/oz

Whether I will try to use my "network" to buy a couple to flip remains to be seen......
My network consists of my son and his brother in law, they came in handy on the Coin and Chronicle sets.......
