A personal "thanks" to Mitch (A.K.A. Wondercoin) & an apology to Russ in advance...

...for another Buffalo thread.

I wanted to thank Mitch Spivack for what is my very first gold coin - a First Strike PCGS MS69 Gold Buffalo (and probably not my last either). And what a coin it is. This will be the first piece of gold that makes it into my deposit box at the bank. I have to say, Mitch has provided with nothing but TOP NOTCH coins for the past couple of years. Last night I picked up this beauty at the PO and nearly wrecked my car on the way home looking at it. UPDATED TO ADD FINAL PIC BELOW.

Thanks again Mitch...

2 looks best to me.

Toby: You are very welcome.

Bear in mind that PCGS has roughly only a 4%-5% MS70 grade through rate on these coins thus far (check what the other services numbers are) - and from among those other (95) or (96) MS69 coins out of (100) graded- it is not terribly difficult to select wonderful high end MS69 specimens for the collectors. Justin and I have personally examined 2,800 PCGS Buffalo Gold coins already since late June.

Enjoy that coin for years to come.

Wondercoin.

Cool, another thread about the gold buffalo.

Order placed. Thanks Mitch!

I look forward to adding this beauty to my collection.

Anyone else think this, along with the silver version, would look attractive in a PCGS Multi-holder?

Braddick,

I had that same exact thought last week. In fact, I was going to take it a step further and put the MS & PR versions of the Silver Buff and Gold Buff in a holder...4 coins total. However, I decided against it for several reasons. The main reason being that I did not want to cross them to NGC. Let us know if you do it...I would love to see photos!

P.S. My multi-coin holder experience with NGC earlier last year was very positive. Their customer service that handles it is phenomenal. I didn't know there was such thing as a PCGS multi-holder. Do you have to know someone or what?

braddick

I'm only about half sure on this, but I believe you have to be a Dealer to have the multi-holder offered and the deal is somwhat large. I think. Could be wrong?
Mitch?
Any other heavy submitters confirm?

But you're doubly right about the NGC multi-holder. The white core would make an attractive background for a four coin Buffalo set.

Bought mine from Mitch also and cant wait for the coin to arrive.

What is the pricing on the First Strike PCGS MS69 Gold Buffalo?

wondercoin

Pat: I do not know - I only slabbed multis (1) time ever and that was many years ago.

Please check my thread on BST for all information on the Buffalo FS coins.
