2013 Gold Buffalo Proof Coin - who's buying

The 2013 gold buffalo proof coin will go on sale this Thursday from the US Mint. Who is buying? Who will wait to see what happens with the recently announced reverse gold buffalo? Who will wait to see what happens with the roller coaster ride we've been on for gold prices? Anyone concerned that while waiting, we'll see an early sell out like last year?

Thanks

I'd love to buy one but I just don't have the cash flow to make it happen. It would've been nice for the mint to offer some fractionals so us little guys could pick something up. Oh well, I'll sit this one out. :hail:

 

Only if its a 1/10oz

 

I"m still confused...I thought the reverse proof was the 23rd? Is there a regular proof Thursday and then another reverse proof (which doesn't appear to be on the schedule?)

I'm in for a reverse proof, but have too many others on my list (Sovereign, St. Gaudens, 50 Peso, etc) to warrant the "regular" proof coin.

 

Reverse proof is later this year, TBA.


OP, yes I'm in like Flint this Thursday.

 

Well, cool, thanks for the info. I just saved a bunch of money this week

 

I imagine the premium on that reverse proof will be though the roof.

 

if you ever have to do anything with your bullion, you've lost

I can only get one or the other so I'll be watching mint figures. I like the idea of the reverse proof but it may sell so well the regular proof will be a low mintage sleeper. hard to tell. love those gold Buffalos but can't afford a lot of them.

 

I usually only buy one gold coin a year from the mint. I think I'll wait for the reverse proof. That one will have both bullion and collector value, since it's the first of a kind issue. I did the same thing in 2009 with the UHR piece.
