<< <i>well...ya know....when ya gotta buy rice to feed the starving family, and the food stamps run out, and you cant afford gas for your K car, and your $6 dollar an hour job just cut you back to three hours a week...
you shouldnt even be looking at coins period (period). >>
Rice? I'll have you know were eating hot dog water on a daily basis, with chunks of hot dog that is! Were doin alright so far, I'm hoping to be able to work in some salsa sauce in the future.
<< <i>I luv sarcastic humor
I must have missed this or else it was edited out of someone's post.
Why do some of you make it seem like they are jacking the price up to shocking levels on these?
Is it just a case if 'sour grapes"?
Just curious............
Its a roll of the dice.....if there short of these, its a winner, if not there is still time to cancel...........besides I like the looks of the uncircs.......!
Going to hold off for a while on buying the set - want to see what the little one looks like in hand.
Enjoy!

I ordered at 12:04 PM, WHY IN H**L DID IT SAY 12:04 AM ?

I'll be looking to pick up on eBay after the fall
after everyone starts dumping there will be a long hard fall
<< <i>2008 BUFF GLD UNC MM 1/4 OZ 2 $289.95 $579.90 Line was cancelled. >>
Looking like the 1/4 and 1/10 oz were becoming too popular so I bailed.
Food for thought for people who think the price is going to come DOWN a lot on ebay, what happens if gold goes to $2000.00 as a lot of people are predicting?
YES, cancel those orders.
that three hundred bucks will be MUCH more enjoyable when you write it out in checks to pay your cell phone bill.
...............and you guyz have the nerve to call yourselves collectors.................sheeesh

This is more than likely what will happen!
Look at the Latest Spouse gold in ms69 and pr69. Not exactly the hottest sellers.

I am pretty sure as long as your debit card has a visa or mastercard symbol on it, you can use it as a visa or mastercard, I have done that with mine before.

I figured that would be the case so I ordered one at 12;01 yesterday.
AND I dont care if gold is "dropping like a rock" or "ya can get one for MELT (geez I hate that word) later in the year off ebay:
I want one this week and even paid the expidited shipping. And Dats Da Way it is.

Long term these are a good buy. Gold will be at $1500+ in the near future, and everyone will buy then I'm sure.
If gold does stay low and no one buys these, then there is low mintage and price goes up in later uses due to scarcity.
Either way, these are cool coins. I was collecting the 1oz's, I lament having to buy 4.7oz of Gold Buffs every year though.
And... if a few of these 8 coins grade as 70's any premium paid is (usually) canceled out by the increased value of the 70's.
I refuse to break down and buy the uncirculated ones though.
I'll reserve that money for no-motto eagles and half eagles instead; a more interesting circulated coin to me.
<< <i>I think that for any order over $300, they give you free expedited shipping. However, it's not very obvious because the checkout 'shopping cart' website doesn't give you many hints about that. >>
This is the case unless you have a P.O. Box in which case it takes an extra week or two. In my case they usually wait a few extra days to pack these as well.
Opened up the Proof set and there is the 1/2oz rolling around outside of its capsule. The other three coins were fine, darn frustrating that kind of money, and there cant be too many of the sets going out the door, that quality control is so poor for this to happen.
Never had this happen before not sure if the mint allows exchange for just the one coin or if the entire set has to be returned for exchange. There was minor damage to the coin enough that it should be replaced. Will find out Monday unless others know from past experience how the Mint handles these situations.
I think they don't use enough padding, and with enough rough shipping treatment, the inner box comes open and the items fly around. This happened quite often to folks getting 2008 ASE 'W' coins; mine were like that.
I suppose they could tape those boxes shut, but then numismatic folks would raise a stink about tape on the box.
However, shrink wrapping the box in thin poly should be easy enough to do. That would prevent this from happening.
OH BOY I CANNOT WAIT!
I bought MINE< well, posters on this thread back oh so long ago...did you buy YOURS? And, to those of you who posted a resounding NO on this thread...whats yer story now?
It seems llike for every twenty coins, there is one remaining in the original mint packaging. I think they will have a long term premium value, over the slabbed coins.
We were just talking about this the other day, I had ordered (20) 1/4 UNC. BUFFS which went on B/O and stayed there for over (5) months, every couple weeks I would get an email from the Mint saying that they are coming, I got (2) shipments for a total of (4) coins.
With (16) still on B/O they had moved the Fulfillment Center and had gotten way behind...........then after almost (6) months they canceled the remaining (16) pcs.....it was a rip-off,
If you recall they wiped out tons of B/O orders at the time so they could catch up....
I forgot to mention a friend of mine returned (24) of them to the Mint.............
Hoard the keys.

Found the quarter ounce you speak of ANACS FS !!
Wow, for an ANACS SP70. Leave it to the 2nd Tiers to set a new price standard for what could be considered a raw price, for all purposes of argument.
This is fun to look back on an old thread as there was much resistance to the original pricing on these from the Mint and like others on the forum,
I jumped in when the B/O started. Some of my 1/10 ouncers were cancelled as I hit that series a bit too late and I cancelled a few of the half ouncers...ouch.
