Message:: [QUOTE="andrew289, post: 266116, member: 6463"]The above was a statement of personal opinion and nothing more. The buffalo fractionals have been on the chopping block for months (as reported in CW, I believe) and I just don't see it happening. The platinum set has also been doubtful for quite some time. I saw a post on another site from a guy who "had an undisclosed mint contact" that said the issue had been scrapped. I don't believe everything I read on the Internet but I think it's a reasonable to consider. The mint is a very busy place right now and they are struggling to keep up. The poor quality of the President dollars and the Congression flogging has taken a toll. Also, the minting of the 08 bullion coins will begin soon, if it hasn't already. These have taken up a lot of time and attention. We can only wait and see what they will roll out next. Personally, I'm confident, in my opinion, but absolutely nobody else should be. If by some miracle, the numismatic gods smile on us and grace us with both fractional buffaloes and a 2 coin plat anniversay set, I'd be the first to eat crow.  Keep on saving Alhas, "If you save for it, it WILL be issued" (I hope). Until hope that old Alberlight has the inside track on the inside scoop. I've never know anyone to type in all caps and NOT mean what they say. Cheers. I'll see you inline online for the release of the Jefferson Spouce ...yippeeeeeeee![/QUOTE]
