Buffalo's from APMEX?

got me 2 on order... about $80 premium over spot ... but what the heck .. you only live once. I'll be ready for the proofs when they become available from the Mint on the 29th...

gsa1fan · October 9, 2009 1:11PM

The Buffalo? Been thinking about it. Premium seems high on any thing less than 20. AMPEX prices I was looking at.

joz350 · October 9, 2009 1:38PM

Thinking about it. Too bad the service fee is so high on a credit card order 24 to something like 80 dollars. Crazy

Classof67 · October 11, 2009 12:24PM

Got in an order of 6 at $1112 each.

gsa1fan · October 11, 2009 1:04PM

67, where you buy them at that price?

CaptHenway · October 11, 2009 1:04PM

FWIW, we are pre-selling at spot +$65, cash or check, cash and carry. But, you gotta come in to the store.

Classof67 · October 11, 2009 1:21PM

<< 67, where you buy them at that price? >>

Apmex, they are back at $1112.36 this evening, price goes up or down depending on current spot.

gsa1fan · October 11, 2009 1:23PM

67, way I read it you have to buy 20 for that price. Any thing less $1,123each.

jsf · October 11, 2009 1:24PM

pre-selling AND cash and carry?

that won't work too well, will it?

Only if you order 20 or more ... for 1 to 19 it's ..$1,122.96 per coin...

Cash now, carry later.

Gainseville coins (gainesvillecoins.com) has them at 1099.41 at the moment (bank wire price), 1123.60 by CC. Compare to 1123.5 at the moment with APMEX, plus more for CC.

To bad Gainesvillecoins does not accept checks...bank wire charges that the banks charge are not cheap. (APMEX now up to $1,131 )

For those of you wanting the gold buffalos I will have the raw coins and the PCGS MS70FS coins as soon as anyone and will meet or beat these prices. PM me about your preferred payment method. I will list them on the BST board when I have them. --Jerry

moonshine · October 12, 2009 3:04AM

can't you buy these from the US Mint??

gsa1fan · October 12, 2009 3:18AM

Mint sells Proofs not bullion.

notwilight · October 12, 2009 4:19AM

<< can't you buy these from the US Mint?? >>

No. Bullion coins are sold through a few very very big distributors who then sell to dealers who sell to the final customer. Same for bullion eagles of all types. --jerry

OPA · October 13, 2009 2:19AM

At the rate that Gold is climbing ... the Mint's 2009 proof Buffalo ( at today's Gold price ) would cost $1,360 ...

Mint pricing of Plat & Gold collector coins

moonshine · October 13, 2009 4:56AM

so did we figure out that gainesville is the cheapest place to buy? Does anyone have any experience on how long their shipping takes? I know apmex is pretty quick if paying with bank wire. (only way to go IMHO, considering price break.)

p.s. I am showing gainesville to be almost $14 cheaper per unit than apmex.

OPA · October 13, 2009 7:30AM

Yes indeed ... I thought I read somewhere, that Wondercoin would beat all listed dealer prices, but I can't find the thread.

derryb · October 13, 2009 6:28PM

Anyone ever had trouble with Apmex?

OPA · October 14, 2009 1:36PM

At the rate that Gold is rising, by the time I receive my Buff's in late October, I would have paid melt price,

Easily!!!!

moonshine · October 15, 2009 3:33AM

can you place order now/lock in price and pay later, when the coins arrive at their facility? .... or is that too much to ask?
....

Does anyone know exactly what date these buffs will be available and/or sent to the dealers?? (or is it just 'end of month?)

thanks

Greeniejr · October 15, 2009 12:24PM

I can't speak to Gainesville's selling practices but in our dealings with them on the wholesale side they are by far the fastest pay I have ever seen. They are good, young and want to win your business. I have no reason to doubt them.
Correcting what Tom said, we sell them at +65 for cash or a check and when we get them you can carry them. If you are interested PM me and we can talk.

i have a want list on slabbed 69's from across the street via modern coin mart

i think they are of decent value at their price.

OPA · October 20, 2009 9:32AM

Production figures up to 79,500 for the Buffs ... Where all of a sudden did the mint get all the blanks from.

Fort Knox, read the section under "Revenge of the looted coins"

OPA · October 27, 2009 5:44AM

Sold over 100,000 so far .... amazing how the Mint managed to get all these so called "hard to find" blanks. I suspect the proofs will also be plentiful, along with the scheduled fractional Gold Eagles coming out in late November.

notwilight · October 27, 2009 1:52PM

OPA · October 28, 2009 4:25AM

USPS just delivered my Buffs from APMEX (via Express Mail) The Mint did a decent job .... The above FS Label fr Carlsbad...talked me into submitting some to PCGS

FYI ... PCGS F/S Coin # is: 413935 ... (I have no idea what the non FS # is)

OPA · November 1, 2009 12:40AM

FYI ... latest PCGS pop. report

MS 69 FS ......... 1965
MS 70 FS ......... 5213
Total ............... 7,178
One week figures .... PCGS is "laughing all the way to the bank on this one." Should definitely help their bottom line.

Looks like these will only be worth slightly over melt before long.

57loaded · November 2, 2009 2:15AM

agree OPA

ProofCollection · November 2, 2009 12:47PM

My 2 buffs from APMEX were so dinged up they won't even make MS69...

OPA · November 2, 2009 1:17PM

<< My 2 buffs from APMEX were so dinged up they won't even make MS69... >>

I'm not sure, but I believe they have a return policy ... suggest you give them a call.

notwilight · November 2, 2009 11:14PM

<< My 2 buffs from APMEX were so dinged up they won't even make MS69... >>

Apmex grades coins so it is likely you get the ones they chose not to submit. If you are looking for a graded buffalo, you're most cost effective option is often to go with a bulk submitter (like me). But I understand the "thrill of the chase" doing it yourself. --Jerry

Received Saturday. OGP

The Ebay supply of these coins seems normal to light. What if 90% of these coins in the pop report go to TV and sell for $2000 each? What will that do to the price? --Jerry

wondercoin · November 3, 2009 2:36AM

There are so many factors affecting pricing on these PCGS coins. You reference one of them. On top of that, before I submitted a single raw coin to PCGS, I screened them down to the "perfect" ones in my view. I had no interest in submitting coins to PCGS that would only grade MS69. Whether I was the only one who did that or one of many - who knows. But, one should be careful in simply looking at reported pop report figures on coins such as these. And, then there is the price of raw gold - if it does keep rising the way it has been these past couple days, perhaps the "70's" will have nearly all of there value tied to gold spot (but, in a good way)!

Wondercoin

derryb · November 8, 2009 3:00PM

Traded 60 raw eagles strait up with Tulving for 60 2009 PCGS MS69 First Strike buffalos. Very happy with the trade, much rather have my personal stash certified. Bought 20 raw and NGC only saw a 70 in seven of them (35% success).

Jerry, what was your percentage of 70's with PCGS, their pop report only shows one coin graded?

OPA · November 16, 2009 6:24AM

APMEX has PCGS MS70 F/S available for $1,320 .... MS69's F/S .... $1,210.59 ....Definitely not a coin for the flippers, no $$$ to be made.APMEX

jmski52 · November 16, 2009 6:36AM

I kept resisting the urge to buy any of these, and I still haven't bit.

Fountainhead · November 16, 2009 9:26AM

Yeah, I wonder about the deal from Tulving. Now, all of a sudden, somebody wants 22K Eagles rather than 24K gold? What gives? He's scarfing up proof GAEs, too.

How many of you ordered the 1 oz 2009 unc. Gold
