    Interesting I though it was an Elk.

    EBAY prices are all over the place. (As usual) from $80 - $150 raw, and as much as $250 graded pr70/signed. For those that don't think the mint is charging enough, you have more options. :)

    I can't find any that have actually sold yet. One auction has a bid for higher than issue price, which is stupid.

    I had the opportunity to watch Mint staff striking these last April. They put GREAT care into it and reject them for the slightest flaw.

    Making fractional gold again is a good idea, doubling down with more offerings of an unpopular design is not

    At least the distracting initials won't be there.

    I like the idea of a more affordable gold version, instead of ounce only.

    The Mint is determined to shove this design down our throats, no matter how badly it sells.

    Certainly not like collectors would appreciate fractional gold buffalos again instead for the 10 year anniversary since first and only release.

    After seeing the news about the 1/10 oz gold using the same design I'm inclined to agree at this point. As there is no reason to use the same design that will already appear on a coin and five medals. Especially since the coin thus far has lack luster sales as is.

    I don't think the MS-69 slab will be worth ANY premium, let alone 30%. Sure, they're taking a small profit on these to dump them. They're gonna jack you for a 70.

    Personally, and this is not mean-spirited, but I hope that they get stuck with a vast majority of these coins. Flipping coins involves winners and losers. This medal is a definite loser.

    Not necessarily. Maybe it's more convenient for int'l bidders to buy one on eBay than ordering directly from the US mint. I am referring to shipping/customs/etc...

    No. But I remember $60.95 for a freaking Silver Eagle (2011-W)
