Tpatna Pillar of the Community United States 1626 Posts	Posted 08/11/2006 12:11 am I was just on the US mint site and see that the Proof Gold Buffalo coins are still for sale. When I think of the time I spent on the web and phone trying to order one of these when they were 1st released, I get irritated. I thought these things would have sold out by now. Do you guys think this will ever be worth alot more in the years to come? Tim Edited by Tpatna 08/11/2006 01:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 08/11/2006 07:55 am sandpaper, Whizzed is when a coin has been subjected to a harsh cleaning with a wire brush or some other tool to give it a lustrous surface. It gives the coin an imitation of having actual luster. Report this Post to the Staff
Dewayne76 Pillar of the Community United States 590 Posts	Posted 08/11/2006 5:06 pm They are nice coins with a little numismatic value but at the end of the day you have a bullion coin. If I bought one I would not go over $850. When the newness wears off they will probably come down a little, unless gold takes off. Report this Post to the Staff

fengk Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 08/12/2006 3:41 pm A bodybag is when you send a coin to be graded by a TPG, and they send it back to you ungraded because of cleaning, altered surfaces, etc. ANACS will grade these coins and just state on the label that it was cleaned or something like that.

If I bought one I would not go over $850. When the newness wears off they will probably come down a little, unless gold takes off. I bought several bullion coins from the site linked below. They were $640 - $650 each, in the wrapper from the mint. I can't see paying $850 which is so much more (like 30% more!!), but if it's graded then maybe it will be more valuable years from now. But right now I look at these for bullion rather than a colllectable, but I may change my mind and send them out to be graded in the future. Just not now. Here is the site if you want cheap bullion gold eagles. I haven't found a cheaper one yet: http://www.goldcentral.com/qry/stor...273ad8a10fc5 Wow, I just checked there and you can get a gold buffalo for $633 plus $25 shipping and insurance. This price is $20 less than two or three days ago. Report this Post to the Staff

Guido Valued Member United States 390 Posts	Posted 09/11/2006 3:48 pm I just checked and they are $611 a piece today. Prices have really dropped recently. That's about a 5% drop in the last two weeks. Report this Post to the Staff
