How Many 2013 Buffalo 1-Oz Gold Reverse Proof Will You Buy?

I am still debating between getting 1 and 2 coins, because of the cost factor and I am having 2 kids (1yr old girl and 0yr old boy).

I would hope that the price will be $1400 or less.

I do think this will be a hot item like 2009 UHR. I still regretting for not buying the raw coin when first released (around $1200) and when two was on the market locally for around $1800, now it's going for around $2500+. The silver commemorative Buffalo coin was sold out of the maximum release and still command large premium. I think it's the ONLY modern commemorative with such performance. The USMint will probably not shipping out this coin until the end of the year... Christmas gift, anyone?

I would think that this coin will also have 100K+ mintage (probably btw 100K and 120K).

I think the secondary market demand for these will be less than the UHR, since the UHR also had alot of classic coinage collectors drawn to it because of the design. This coin lacks that pull into the classic realm of US coinage. But since its the first reverse proof buffalo, I imagine it will see price increases after production ends. Now whether or not those margin increases make it a worthwhile endeavor is another matter entirely.

I wish I could afford one I really like the way it looks but it would take me like 6 months to save for one... I wish the mint had layaway :D

$1690 is quite high ($300+ mark up =~ 17.75% premium)..... may be if gold drop just below $1300 (only about $5) by Wednesday, we can save some $$$.....

I'm looking to buy 1.

Currently I don't have any gold coins and promised myself I would get at least 1 gold coin and then start to look more at the fractional proofs.

Bizybackson and XavierOfGreen bring up wise points. Guess one never knows the true winner until the race is over or you have the fix in, I've gotta go with the first.

jack,
I thought the same thing. Then I used the zoom feature and in the pop up window to the right of the coin you could get a better idea of what the buffalo will look like. You can do the same thing with the obverse. Not great but a little better.

I want to first of all hug SA4H *hugs* lol and I mean that in manly excited happy way, as in this is such a GREAT thread to start so thank you!

Right now I will stick with just one I think as I mostly see it as a collection. However, it would be tempting to load up the boat on these. I see great investment potential here. Look folks this is my case for the investment side and mind you, I would prefer GLD over coins.

1- Unique product from US Mint

2- Limited production

3- SOLID GOLD

4- The market for this will be huge, highly liquid and this will be a desired coin.

5- Take one, buy it and don't open the box. It then qualifies to be graded and you are going to get a pretty penny for that.

Now, I realize many folks are going to say, WOW that's being greedy or just too profit driven. But I am just putting up some ideas. I am right now interested solely as a collector.

I love animal coins, this Buff I love this series,,,,, and this is a unique coin period.

Finally, I wanted that UHR coin and I got so busy that I forgot to pick one up, Shame on me. So please don't be like me back in 09 and please make every effort to get a unique coin.

Finally, I don't do well guessing so I wont guess on the production number except I think its going to be LESS than the UHR reason being that US Mint sales have been going lower over the years, people have lost a little bit of interest in gold and silver and finally this is a big ticket item.

Anyways, I expect everyone to get one lol don't disappoint me!

Yes,,, but its only a one time offering and thats it,, so the mintage amount isn't going dent this coin.

Get one DB! Dont hold back on this coin!
