    Per the Mint Website: "To complement its handsome design, the coin is encapsulated and then placed in a stylish clamshell and classic black presentation case with the United States Mint seal on the lid. The case fits into an outer sleeve with a beautiful gold foil image of the American Buffalo. It also includes a certificate of authenticity with matching imagery."

    They don't LOOK like proofs...the fields are full of ridges....cuts down on the Ultra or Deep Cameo look. :/

    25% premium to gold -- is that normal for a new release ? I bought a 2015 AGE Proof UC at FUN 2020 and paid under a 10% premium I believe.

    It is truly a work of numismatic art. I love the look of those field 'ridges.'

    Thanks for asking, Bully! And feel free to post some past TruView PCGS issues of yours…
    I believe I have purchased my share of gold buffaloes from MS to Proof to Reverse (fractional and otherwise) so I will let others grab their high-dollar share.

  • How is gold buffalo so expensive? It doesn't even have a privy. :(

    Might I suggest this will be the new key date for a mere $4240

    For that price, they could have included a privy mark. Pass.

    I'll have 3 Gold Proof Buffalos for sale at the Philly Expo, different date but less money than the 2025 mentioned above... hope to see some forum members at the show...

    No interest in these whatsoever. Gold is not my thing. Too much of a premium to boot.

  • skier07skier07 Posts: 4,211 ✭✭✭✭✭

    To each his own but there’s no way I would ever pay $4240 (with gold at $3350) for a one ounce modern gold coin. I don’t care how beautiful it is.

  • GoldbullyGoldbully Posts: 17,677 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I doubt anyone will post their Mint Order #'s here. It would be interesting to see how many die hard modern gold collectors are continuing the journey. Hopefully we'll see a couple.

  • Even if I were a young, techno billionaire I'd never pay such premiums for such an over priced golden Buffalo.

    OK, maybe if I was a young , techno billionaire I would but I'd cut it off after a few dozen.

    Think of it as cost averaging and you'll feel better.

  • logger7logger7 Posts: 8,824 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Are they (the mint) projecting what the spot price of gold will be later in the year?

  • Cranium_Basher73Cranium_Basher73 Posts: 3,330 ✭✭✭✭✭

    So that's what we can expect to pay for the 2025 high relief gold.

    Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.

  • MsMorrisineMsMorrisine Posts: 34,605 ✭✭✭✭✭

    probably a bit more due to design costs

    It should be the same. They use the same formula to price all the gold issues.

    I gave up on the mint's new offerings, especially with these "special" presentation cases....I mean, WHO really leaves them out and presents them?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Amazing performance for gold.

  • MsMorrisineMsMorrisine Posts: 34,605 ✭✭✭✭✭

    considering the markup on the buffs, i'm thing prep for them adds to the cost. polishing a wavy die. perhaps the die relief and packaging and design costs are lumped for the 2023 liberty coin
