<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 841156, member: 22143&quot;]Maybe I am missing something, but I think you might have these coins mixed up.&nbsp; There are 3 kinds of Buffalo coins:</p><p>&nbsp; </p><ul> <li>Bullion coin sold through dealers</li> <li>W - Uncirculated sold by the mint&nbsp; (only sold in 2008)</li> <li>W - Proof sold by the mint.</li> </ul><p>The 2008-W that is in high demand and high priced is the <u>Uncirculated</u> coin not the Proof coin.&nbsp; It&#039;s the only year they have made it and only about 9,000 were sold.&nbsp; Prices shot up when it became apparent last year the mint was not going to release a 2009 version.&nbsp; In comparison there were about 20,000 2008-W Proof coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The 2009 - W that you can get now is the Proof coin and I believe the mintages are already close to 50,000 and you can still get it from the mint.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe there is any chance this coin will be a key date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
