As if there wasn't enough confusion with "Platinum" the album (yes, the one that has "Sally" on it. No wait, that's Into Wonderland". Oh, isn't the album really called "Airborn"? ), and the current "Platinum Collection" 
Anyway, please see the wikipedia record on the Platinum Record award:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platinum_record
I was hoping it might mention how many of these special award pressings are typically made, but it did not.
However, I did find someone on eBay that might help. Here are a few diverse choices and what they sold for. The winning bids are in US dollars:
- ELVIS PRESLEY MEMBER HOW (?) $201.50
- Beatles Abbey Road $2,500.00
- Chicago "XI" Platinum Record Award. $170.00
- METALLICA PLATINUM RECORD AWARD ELEKTRA $177.50
- OZZY OSBOURNE RAND RHOADS TRIBUTE $182.50
- ROLLING STONES ONLY R (?) $242.50

"In the land of the Dacotahs,
Where the Falls of Minnehaha
Flash and gleam among the oak-trees,
Laugh and leap into the valley."
