Hello everyone!
It looks like all of the 2008-W platinum coins that were just brought back on sale will be sold out prior to the end of October.
In theory, then, if we know what the total October sales were in each catagory, we can then determine what the maximum
potential mintage will be for each catagory of 2008-W Platinum (not including returns, which will only lower the final mintage).
Thus, the million dollar question ...
How soon after the end of October can we expect to see those official sales numbers released from the Mint?

Kingplatinum, eh?
that's a pretty bold claim.
Sales figures are reported in Numismatic News on a weekly basis. The 2008 w unc $10 figures will probably be provided in a few weeks. Those numbers aren't really "official" though.
On top of that, there's a distinction between reported sales figures and mintages.
Unless something has changed at the Mint since 2006, I doubt they can count to 3,000 any faster now than they could then.

You got to admit - it's a little bit catchier than King Cotton.
I knew it would happen.
