the buff, much neater design

 

The buffalo is a better investment. Most bullion buyers overseas want the PURE gold ie; Canadian Maple Leaf, Australian Nugget, and now the American Buffalo.

 

.925????? no, .9167

 

.925 is sterling silver

 

fineness

sorry, you got it.

 

Buy the one you like. I'm not sure that fineness will mean much in the long run.

 

I say the Buffalo. I've got a 2006 Proof and each time I look at it I'm amazed all over again how beautiful this coin is. The "faceted" mirror background on the obverse is absolutely stunning. I wouldn't trade it for the...well, maybe I could be persuaded, but it's one of my favorite coins I own. It feels great in my hand. I'd go with the Buffalo.

 

My opinion...you'll never go wrong buying them both.

 

TIM1966 is so right, however, for people like me who had to sell their souls to get the buffalo .. if one can only afford 1 gold coin, go for the Buffalo!!!!!!

 

buffallo

if i have $800.00. i go for $800.00 worth of 2005 buffalo unc nickel. after all, all these coins were worth face value. i can enjoy playing with 16,000 pc of uncirculated coins.

 

heck if i have $800, i wouldnt get 16,000 5 cent pieces!!!! i would OWN that gold buffalo

 

Buy an UNC spouse gold coin instead. :secret:

 

the one for Jefferson would be nice if you want a copy of an old large cent. personally I think it will be neat, but unfortunately, I must agree with the others. Given 1 coin to buy, I would buy the buffalo hands down.

 

buffalo gold coin

well, i will buy one buffalo gold. but which one is better?. proof or unc. one oz or fractional one?.

 

If mintages mean anything to you, then:

2007 Proof 1 oz Buffalo maintage: 200K
2007 Proof 1 oz AGE mintage: 53K (18K one oz single + 35K one oz in 4-coin set)
2007 Uncirculate mintage: minted to demand

 

i am waiting for the 4 coin set of the bfaalo that sucker is going to take off

 

IMHO If they make a fractional set (still yet to be seen) then the one that is roughly the size of a nickel is gonna be a SUPER popular coin and the true performer of the set.

 

Insightful therory Mike. I know what I'll get now if they make them.
