The US Mint to release 2010 AGB on June 3rd 2010 Gold Buffalo Proof Coins on Sale June 3 from CoinUpdate [5/5/10]
since both buffalo proof and unc come out earlier. that's mean the mintage will be much higher than last year. i might pass this one krispy. and concentrate one platinum set.
No way does that mean anything! That's totally premature speculation before the coins have even released... An earlier release of the AGB this year doesn't ensure greater quantities will be sold resulting in a higher mintage. The final mintage will require more steady sales be maintained over a longer period until they stop minting (or if a limit is announced) compared to last year's mad dash for gold, and in turn a collector rush for Proof AGBs, which were released quiet late in the year, followed by brisk sales up to about January, diminishing until the Mint removed the Proof AGB a few weeks ago from its web site. Over all gold seems to be selling steadily without a lot of delay in distribution due to demand like last year. The Mint has removed the allocation limits to its bullion dealers as well. Gold this year seems to be selling but with less demand than other PMs like silver. Collectors may be more modest with purchases from the Mint and bullion investors are already positioned in gold since last year or in need of less to be balanced this year. I look for 2010 AGB mintages to be very slightly +/- last years figures when true final figures from the Mint are published sometime in early 2011. Until then mintage speculation is prone to change for any number of reasons: mintage limits, household limits that control purchases, POG, bullion allocation, a turn to bullion instead of collectors versions... you name it. The 2010 AGB coins haven't even released and guessing mintage now is totally premature and highly likely to disappoint if you play that game. If you want quality (TPG equivalent 69/70 grades) Proof AGB coins, buy them the first couple weeks after release.
Elaine, regardless of what coins you claim you'll buy or pass on from day to day, we still need to see photos of your purportedly huge collection to back up that you ever buy anything, which includes claims that you would be buying a camera, have you got a camera? Since you've mentioned it yourself, I've been asking about the camera a while and still awaiting your reply...
looking at the numbers, and the slight decline in mintage, does this mean the mint realized the quarter program was a bust?

Blind faith will do that to you Ken... She wouldn't be the first to pull some shenanigans around here. Nothing wrong with collecting data points or looking for some attention but a subscription to the CDN hardly makes her a collector nor does quoting bullion desk price tics and doing some mathematical speculation on ebay completed sales, evaluating bullion dealers price offers, etc. make her an investor in PMs.
