2006 Proof 1 oz. Gold Buffalo

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the original mint issue price of this coin? And, what are your thoughts for the long term appreciation of it, given the economic conditions of today? Thanks.

That price was on July 19, 2006. Just check my History on the mint site. Guess I didn't save a buck like the others.

It was $583.10. With that money, it can only buy the 1/10 gold buffalo now ...
