    The AGE has 0.1091 troy oz of 22K gold, equivalent to 0.1 troy oz of 24K gold.

    The AGE and Buffalo contain the same amount of gold. The AGE also contains an additional small amount of copper and silver, alloyed with that gold.

    There just isn't any way in which a 1/10 Buffalo contains any more gold than a 1/10 AGE, unless you've cut metal away from the AGE or added it onto the Buffalo.

    My only point is 24k is more desirable to me than 22k, I don't know about anyone else.

    I don't care if it's 22k or 24k, I like them both.

    And I'll never disagree with that, never mind argue about it!

    The mintages are 2,026 for each one and there was also a silver 1/2oz medal bell at $750. The silver sold out in under a minute and prices shot up to $3k+ on the secondary market. The two gold coins were available longer but eventually changed to unavailable. The secondary market prices evaporated after briefly being a few hundred over issue price and people started cancelling orders or returning them. There were also issues with the packaging allowing the bells to rattle around in the capsule. As of the most recent sales report (9/8/26) about half of the gold coins remain unsold. So it did not go great but probably not the worst thing for the US Mint to sell around a 1,000 of each at 10k and 20k each. There is currently little interest in the gold on the secondary market as one can still buy them from the US Mint (if one wanted to sell, it would be at a discount to the issue price-potentially quite a large discount for a quick sale).

    Awesome update, DDDDD !! :cigar:

    I guess the super-low mintage helped, the Mint correctly realized very few were going to fork over 5-figures for a single coin or multiple coins.
