American Platinum Proof Eagle Mintages for 2001 - 2005
...................1 oz..........1/2 oz.........1/4 oz.........1/10 oz
2001..........8962.........8246...........8839...........12,100
2002..........9946.........8810...........9299...........12,392
2003..........8136.........6944...........6811............9218
2004..........5833.........4886...........5035............6846
*2005.........6550..........5276..........5326............7317
*all 2005 Coins
still available from the US Mint - 1 oz only available in 4-coin set
Looks like the 2004's will be the keys to the series. Will the 2005's sell for any premium above what the 2003's sell for? How high will the 2005 mintages go? Any bets on the 2006 mintages?

addition to the tiny mintages there might be a large attrition.
But, it's all modern crap if it was made after 1964.

Why 2004's are bringing stupid money and the 2005 with just a few more can be had as cheap as any right now.....
Also have a 1 ounce 2000 mint state. I thought, being the millenium, that it might make it special. Oh well, I still have an ounce of platinum bullion.
If you ever talk coins with a non-collector, they always seem to me to be most surprised that we even have a platinum coin. They know clad, silver, gold, even classic and new commems.
Not platinum though.

Given that the Royal Canadian Mint has started producing Palladium Maple Leafs, how far away can Paladium Eagles be? That one will be the ultimate mystery Coin.

I collect them, but only in the $100 denomination. At this time, I am focused on the $100 MS Plats. IMHO, I am starting to believe finding a PCGS MS70 $100 Plat in the years 1997,1999,2000 or 2001 might be the hardest "coin" to find post 1996. Anyone find one give me a call.

2004 Platinum Proof
Most are hitting at least $300 and I really can't figure out why.....just like the 2001 golden dollar, there's a few suckers to buy these at the rates they are going today with little to no upside IMO.
Whachta talkin' about, Willis!?
Just as the 1973-S Proof Silver Ike Dollars were the low-mintage Coins in the Ike Series, I'm inclined to believe the 2004 PAE's will be the low-point in their series.
