Eagle vs: buffalo

buffalo gold

i think the buffalo is losing ground to eagle. as the sales figure for buffalo is not impressive at all. with 24k attached on it. i rather buy spouse gold.

Go with the Buffalo, great obverse and reverse. Where as I was never to keen on the Eagle family deal.

 

american buffalo won

currently released american eagle and buffalo gold series. the american buffalo sold more than the american eagle gold version.

p.s. sorry folks. i wrote too many today. because it is my vocation.

 

so far the buffalo won.

 

wish you all a prosperous new year. may all bring a good fortune. specially in the year of ox. or we call it bull.

 

2008 american eagle 1/4 oz gold proof is almost sell out. while the 1/10 oz still available.

 

Been looking for prices 2008 1/2 oz proof buffalos. So I ran across this at MSN a BA4 the 8-8-08 double prosperity set for sale (still available at Mint) $1999.

I would be happy with either one, or both, but would be leaning towards the buffalo.

 

now platinum blast gold with a 950.00 vs: 875.70 per ounce.

 

They are both very attractive designs. My suggestion is consider the '09 ultra high relief double eagle. Now that's an awesome design!!!

 

auto industries might improve. platinum and silver moves higher. platinum traded at $956.00.

 

platinum continue to outperform gold. as of this writing. platinum is traded at $965.00. while gold is at $849.10.

 

platinum hit a high of $979.00 an ounce. soon to pass $1,000.00 again. gold should follow too.

 

Is there a difference between the Buffalo and the Eagle as far as how many are minted? If so why? I think the eagle looks more appealing.

 

buffalo is 24 K.
buffalo is very much fewer mintage than eagle.

design both were excellent.

buffalo mixed with copper.
eagle mixed with silver and copper.

i like both. but i also like chinese panda and british sovereign.

 

Personally I like the buffalo proof much better. I didn't know it had copper in it, i thought it was .9999 fine.

american eagle composed of 3% silver and 5.33% copper. gold 91.67%.
american buffalo composed of 99.99% gold. copper 0.01%. since copper is very minimal. we disregarded it.

 

does anyone have any accurate mintage figures for the Gold Buffalo 1oz 2006 thru 2008?
thank you
