Thanks

The big thing today seems to be the modern gold coins that are actually bullion coins. They are all dated and have fixed values, far below the amount, the gold in the coin is actually worth. They do the same with Platinum. The U.S. mint puts out a version of both types in proof that are supposed to be a collector item. It kind of pushing that term. A true collector actually collects the gold coins made before 1933. Don't forget gold coins of the world minted before say 1933, are usually a good buy. Russia is the only country that struck platinum coins for use. More people collect silver and copper coins than all the collectors of gold and platinum put together.

Platinum is actually a very scarce coin. Historically, I believe only Russia ever made circulating coins from platinum, while gold has been issued from most coin issuing countries. The very first coins in the world were electrum, a combination of gold and silver.
As for coin shows, you can check www.money.org for upcoming show dates. There are always shows going on.
