2008 american buffalo proof and uncirculated gold coins

Bullion coins are worth a small premium above melt because the fact that they are coined means the buyer is also buying certification of the weight and purity compared to, say, a vile of gold flakes. I'm sure the Mint will extract their pound of flesh, but not from me. It is occasionally possible to buy gold coins below melt value. This seems to happen more with gold than silver.

i got mine

i ordered 10 pc of 1/4 oz buffalo. 5 proof and 5 unc.

 

Just rechecked my order and it said pending and instock! The time stamp on the order still says 12:04AM.

 

good we dont want the mint to shut down. keep the flag flying

 

money bags:kewl:

 

Although I have been waiting for the fractionals to come out I think I'm going to hold off on this for now. I've got a hunch a person might be better off getting these on the aftermarket side. Not saying it will be cheaper but if the price of gold goes up I think the spread on the premium will shrink.

 

he is going to be money less bags after the 30 day return privilege is over

 

having just rescued a major portion of my life's savings from IndyMac Bank and the FDIC, I figure I can afford to treat myself to a few of these sets- it feels like found money at this point!

 

please dont waste your lifes savings on these

 

Good Thinking!

buffalo came out at a wrong time

american buffalo came out at a wrong time. gold is down. how will the mint readjust prices that they produced?. all product with silver, gold and platinum related. everything and every price have to be change.

 

STOP THE MADNESS!

Watching MSNBC and they are talking about the big downturn of gold. One of the investors they interviewed expected gold to drop even further before we see an upswing. This is crazy! So what do we do????? Do we return all our Buffalo sets in protest of the value of gold?????? The mint dosen't care. They are not going to lower the prices of their gold sets.

 

didnt i tell you not to buy the buffalo and sell your old coins. The buffaloes were always a losing proposition if you want gold to rise just wait for a few months.

 

I don't buy coins for an investment.... I buy them because I like them... and you know how much I like those buffaloes.... Plus, I can always return them and get my money back.

 

for another 3 weeks :whistle:

 

I sold my proof 2006 buffalo, unc 2006 buffalo and some other gold bullions last month for melt price.

 

Why didn't you return them to the mint? I looked forward to the proofs, but after receiving one I thought with the textured fields they looked to much like gold leafing. Just returned it and I may be out $15, but it beats sitting on something dropping in value that I do not care for.
