2006-W $50 Gold Buffalo NGC PF70 - price?

What's the going retail and wholesale/dealer buyback prices for these? How much more value for a first strike label?

I can't seem to find one at a major dealer, just non-proof MS70's for the most part. I searched Heritage a bit, found a few, but it looks like the first strike label doesn't add much, if any, value. The two I compared near the same date/price of gold, the non-first strike one actually brought $60 more over spot than the first strike coin.

I promised myself I'd stay away from modern collectible bullion after the 25th Anniv. Eagle set, but I could have a good buying opportunity on one of these...

COMPLETED EBAY LISTINGS
NGC First Strikes label will become a collector item since it was only issued in 2006. Yes, it adds value. And, it is gold!

Thanks for the info on the first strike label, derryb. I'm definitely a modern slabbed bullion newbie, figured that the first strike label was given out like candy by the TPG's trying to attract more customers.

I'll likely end up purchasing it. For ~2.5 ASE 25th anniv. sets, I can't go too wrong!

I wouldn't pay more than $1975

Picked it up today, $1925 plus a little time and gas. 2006-W $50 gold Buffalo NGC First Strike PF 70 Ultra Cameo

The price was right, but I think I'd have been just as happy with a raw proof even if I was big on collecting these.

PS- slab is quite scuffy. What was the trick for the hairlines, toothpaste or something?

nice pickup. get some PlastX (liquid paste in a plastic bootle) from the automotive parts store. Its designed for convertible top plastic windows and works great on slabs. Works great on fogged up plastic headlight covers as well.
