With about 200,000 less gold Buffalo coins sold so far in 2007 than were sold in 2006, is the 2007 a coin to keep your eye on or is it just that interest in this series is waning? Too rich for most collectors, is the coin doomed to be a short lived series?
The design isn't worth the extra money over the spot price of gold for big time bullion collectors. Plus for straight up coin collectors who already have the 2006 gold buffalo, maybe they decided to pick up krugerrands or gold american eagles or the new presidential first lady gold pieces that are coming out or even the old gold coins such as st. gauden's. There are a lot of other gold pieces out there and I think that once COIN coillectors already have one type of expensive coin, they aren't going to buy another one of the same kind, even if it is a new year. They would probably want something new. Just my thoughts, pure speculation I could be 100% wrong
I agree, I bought the 2006 and don't see a reason to get another. If they decide to do the fractionals, I might buy.
Not if as the Mint has already approved fractionals. I can't say that I am especially bullish on the Buffies but it looks like they will end up replacing the gold eagles in the near future so it's hard to tell. 22k gold is on the outs. Definitely over minted for 06 and 07 and way too many 70s. The Mint made a mint though.
there is other gold a heck of a lot cheaper, once you have an example, why do you need more. This series isn't all the collectable imo, now if they had 1/10 oz coins. That'd be the set to jump on, because even a collector of modest means can usu afford one of those.
Hmm...then why the f am I wasting my time collecting $20 libs and Saints. They all look the same...I've been doing it all wrong for all these years. Can you say epiphany?
