$50 Buffalo 24k Gold

We speak of the 1995w as being one of a kind and the price taking off to the moon! Well, has anyone considered the fact that this proof Buffalo will be the one and only version made that will have Fraser's original 1913 rough surface texture in the fields of both the Indian Head and the Bison devices.
This fact alone widens the number of persons who might be interested in such finishes to want one of the coins. The more people that want one, the more it will hold and/or advance in worth. This may be a winner, after all.

Thanks,

Not on the confirmation notice, but just the other day (Thur or Fri I believe)of the shipping date, on a second notification.

Thanks, I went to the Mint sites "Track Order" and it told me the order was being processed. I become anxious because you never know what can happen here. These coins could have sold out in a few hours and you miss out. I kept trying and late afternoon I was able to place my order. That told me these would not last long and would be a great addition to my collection so, I was glad to have gotten thru. Dan, I subscribe to your thoughts of these becoming highly sought after once the dust settles. Do you think the mint tests the water with these sales? If they smell a big profit they will mint whatever the market will bare or are they committed to the mintage they advertised? I understand a mechanical failures at the mints means they wont make their quota and will mint less which, will drive the price up later on. I suppose the chances of that happening are slim to none.

Until mine arrive I am like a little kid again, waiting for Christmas day to arrive. Who would ever have thought I would ever experience that again after 65 years. Thanks again everyone.

In my opinion, its value later will depend upon factors such as if they are going to coin the same design in 2007 bullion, or if they change the design. If the design is changed, I think these will appreciate a lot. If they do 10 years of 300,000 buffalo proofs, then we may not see much above bullion prices.

Remember, they said 300,000 of the >2006< proofs. Nothing precludes them from doing 300,000 2007 Buffalo proofs.... Or even higher numbers....

If that is not the case, someone more knowledgable than me please correct me.

I Wonder... is there a place where I can get the proof still?

Okay, being the buffalo fanatic that I am I finally broke down and order my unc. buffalo today from my dealer. A buddy of mine asked me to order him one and I just couldn't stand putting it off any longer. Next Saturday a will finally have a gold one to lead my herd! Also picked up three Buffalo nickels today as well. Two will be for trading but the 3rd will remain in my collection as I seldom see the 38D, D over S, for sale and this one is much clearer than the one I already have! I have for the most part decided to pursue the Buffalo nickel, or anything with a buffalo full time, until something else strikes my fancy! The herd is going to get much bigger!!!
