<p>[QUOTE=&quot;christopherw303, post: 765550, member: 22177&quot;]The price is going through the roof on proofs because collectors are now busily scooping them up while they can-- Proof Eagles are minted in limited numbers, and are almost always more desirable than their BU counterparts. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, it is still possible to find proofs on sale for less than $2k, for instance, on eBay and through other channels (or even the US Mint, if looking for 2009 Proof Buffalos). </p><p><br /></p><p>When/if the s**t ever does hit the fan with Gold skyrocketing to over $10k per ounce, as has been predicted, You can bet that proofs will be worth little, to nothing, more than BU or even circulated gold coins, as the collector market will vanish overnight and the only people buying will be those who want as much Gold as possible, for the least amount of Money. Those asking for premiums over spot for Proof or Collectors issues will be unlikely to find buyers in a true financial meltdown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
