For a mere $400,000 plus shipping and insurance you too can be the proud owner of 5000 sets of the 2006 American Buffalo Gold Proof. It is ashamed that the mint is limiting us to only 5000 sets per household! Sheesh! 2006 American Buffalo Gold Proof One Ounce Coin (BA6) Click here to view larger image Image not actual size 2006 American Buffalo Gold Proof One Ounce Coin (BA6) This year marks the inaugural year of the American Buffalo Gold Coin Program. The Presidential One Dollar Coin Act of 2005 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to strike one ounce, .9999 fine gold bullion coins. These are the first pure gold coins ever issued by the United States Government. The American Buffalo Gold Proof Coins are collector versions of the official United States Mint American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins and are available in limited mintages. The designs are based on the original 1913, Type I Buffalo nickel, as designed by James Earle Fraser. The obverse features a profile representation of a Native American. The reverse features an American Buffalo (also known as a bison). The 2006 American Buffalo Gold Proof One Ounce Coin is packaged in a blue velvet, satin-lined presentation case and accompanied by a custom-designed Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Deputy Director of the United States Mint. In order to ensure the broadest and most fair access to United States Mint products, a limit of 5,000 units per order and per household is in effect. Accordingly, all orders for American Buffalo Gold Proof One Ounce Coins will go immediately into a backorder status to ensure compliance with this policy. This quality assurance process should not impact the estimated delivery time. The United States Mint may reevaluate this limit and either adjust or remove it at any time. American Buffalo Gold Proof One Ounce Single Coin Product Limit: 300,000 http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...ey=ClickInfo

Maybe the offer is good for the family with a LARGE relation. After all Christmas is not too far away. I am sure I am related somehow, some where.

I don't know, but I do know that it has been out there long enough for someone to catch it.
Don't think its a misprint.

I haven't bought a gold buffalo yet, but I'm tempted to order a proof one from the mint for $800. Do you guys think this is a good deal/fair price?

I don't see how you could go very wrong on this.
Open to suggestions.

I agree with you TypeMaster. I'm going to order one of the proofs. Does the mint ship quickly?

My wife and I bought one, after we saw it in a coin store. We bought it for the beauty rather than an investment.

I actually like the regular strike Buffaloes. Wish I could afford even 1 of those. That would be awesome. Never have been much of a proof aficionado. Never really cared for them much. I just love plain old uncirculated coins the best.
