Yea, Barry! And the cash came rolling in! On paper, anyway. Somehow, it ALWAYS feels better when the prices rise than when they sink... even if you have no intention of selling!

Tracking information indicates it's out for delivery and should be here today sometime. Can't wait to get it (and upload some pics, of course). Only problem is that I'm working from home by myself again today and I dare not go out for lunch or otherwise leave the house lest I miss the delivery man...

w00t! My 2012 American Eagle Platinum Proof coin just arrived, and all I can say is WOW, what an amazingly superfluous bit of presentation packaging!

Actually, the coin itself is really nice, but I certainly wasn't expecting an outer sleeve:



With an identical inner box:



With a folder:



That has information on the outer flap:



As well as tons of information on the inner flaps:



As for the coin itself, it's very spiffy:

Yep, been there, done that... as have most others here.

Must be due to that tiny eagle head on the left side of the reverse? It's not nearly as imposing as the eagle in flight on the other US Pt coins, though.
