I'm not buying at the ripoff prices the mint currently wants, $130 for a tenth worth $96-98 is highway robbery. Max for me would be spot plus 10% for something with no numismatic value, of which I define modern bullion as. They want spot plus 33-35%, ridiculous.

I was just thinking while reading this...

Someone mentioned the 10th ounce was for sale at $130...

The Britannia 10th ounce proof gold is for sale at £105 on the royal mint website...$210.

(The quarter ounce is $400)

If I'm going to drop $2600, I rather do it on US coinage.

I won't be buying any buffalos. It seems doubtful that they are worth any more than bullion value so the premium is not justified.
