<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Argento, post: 725020, member: 17165&quot;]Well, I placed my order today, despite being overpriced by $50 for the following reasons:</p><p><br /></p><p>- We know the Mint is never fast about shipping anything (even stuff they already have prepared for shipping) so there is time to back out.&nbsp; Maybe not a lot of time, but enough time to monitor the price of gold until Monday morning, at the least.</p><p><br /></p><p>- We don&#039;t know how many blanks the Mint has acquired.&nbsp; My guess is that they acquired enough to mint sufficient coins to satisfy the average mintage across the first three years of the Buffalo&#039;s release.&nbsp; Your guess of 40,000 sounds about right to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Dealers who have been holding off on big bullion purchases in the hopes of being able to spread their money around on West Point AGE, ASE and AGB now only have one choice: the proof Buffalo.&nbsp; Possibly dealers will buy the vast majority.&nbsp; They certainly aren&#039;t spending their money on the First Spouse series, which has very little collector appeal, and thus, very little demand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m feeling pretty good about my order.&nbsp; Mostly because the First Strike gimmick (thanks PCGS) is like insurance against a big loss because so many gullible folks are willing to pay big money for that silly First Strike PR70.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
