henry95401, welcome to the board!
Don't concern yourself with getting a 2007 "first strike" due to the fact that it is just a marketing gimmick. The US Mint does not release coins in the order of mintage and anyone that says otherwise is lying. A couple of the slabbing services are being sued for false advertising over this and have changed it to "early release" or "early strike". Those terms are still irrelevant and should be ignored.
The US Mint has a Consumer Awareness Bulletin on their website dealing with this issue:http://www.usmint.gov/consumer/inde...ion=HotItems
click the link and scroll down a couple paragraphs to see it.
BTW, since you are fan of the 24kt Buffalo, the US Mint will be releasing fractional pieces this year as well (1/2, 1/4, and 1/10 oz.)
