I'm buying just one 1/4 oz'r Proof, and no unc....OK, I changed my mind when I looked at my wallet!! >>
I checked coinfacts, and the American Ealge 1/4 oz is 22mm in diameter. The Buffalo Nickel is 21.2mm in diameter. >>
Interesting, SilverEagles........but, the Buffalo Gold is .999 fine, not 22 karat like the AGE's...that will make a difference of ~1 or 2mm in diameter IMHO.
The 1/4 oz could be 23 or 24 mm!!!!!! Your thoughts???
edited to add, or they could make the gold buff the same as the nickel in diameter, and increase the thickness.
I think the diameter should be the same... But what do I know? I guess they could increase the thickness. I would think they would make it the same diameter, or they would have to completely redo all the packaging they have. Logistically, it makes more sense to keep the size the same, or as close to the same as possible.
<< Yup Im getting on too, and its going right into my pocket.
So.....how long before it gets to VF? >>
Not too long...as soft as gold is!!!!
I hope you're kidding!!!
Nope. These things are gonna be a "dime a dozen" in MS....but a VF one, now THATS a real treasure
Many years ago, I had an Uncle who was a Bricklayer. He made good money...but Geez was he tough on his vehicle. So, whenever he bought a new truck, the day he took delivery, he would take his 5 pound mallet and smash in the front fender, in front of the shocked salesman. He said "OK, now I dont have to worry about getting a scratch on it"
Maybe possible returns from customers picking out the 70's. You may get picked over coins if you order later. If you order first you have a more even playing field of getting better quality coins maybe. Forget about First Strike Eligiblility since that is no longer available to collector club members, just dealers. JMHO.
Finished my order in one minute. Superfast. 1/4 ounce proof and 1/10 uncirculated. Order suspended. cancel box gone in stock and reserved. I am hoping this is just procedure. I followed the rules ordered at precisely 12 PM.

You owe me a cup of java ... I want it mailed via Registered Mail, with Insurance, Restricted Delivery & Signature Confirmation. ( Note: Pos. FB may be given upon receipt of item in "hot" condition )
PS I did not order any. Need to wait for the dealers to offer First Strike 1 ozers....
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."
And now that they are available, I have second thoughts.
I've bought lots of stuff this past weekend, including a very cool 1849 gold eagle. I believe a total of eleven holes of my 7070 album were dealt with as well. My credit card is a little overheated and i've got checks in flight.
They aren't going to stop selling these things or reprice them within the week, right?
I would feel better waiiting until early August as far as cash flow goes...

It looks like it may be smart to stay away from the 1/4 ouncers since many people want this coin because of the Buffalo nickel. I'd say that's going to be the most common coin in the series. I'm going to wait and see how the mintages come out for a few weeks unless I see a spike in gold............
<< <i>Wow, that was the fastest I have ever seen the US Mint on an opening day for a cool coin. I logged in and had my coins in less than 30 seconds! >>
That's pretty good, it usually takes a few weeks to ship mine.
<< <i>Wow, that was the fastest I have ever seen the US Mint on an opening day for a cool coin. I logged in and had my coins in less than 30 seconds! >>
It's been fast lately due to all the flipper demand being gone on mint products.
It may be the most popular and most common, but I just signed on the dotted line for the 1/4 oz. proof. With the unlimited mintage and the high premium over spot, I'm going to hold off on ordering any more until the picture clears up a bit...
I don't see these buffs as a flipper coin.The mint prices are way to high for a flipper to make any money selling them,especially on the bay with all the fee's involved.I will wait and buy mine in the after market cheaper than what the mint wants.The mint will be selling these for some time with unlimited mintages.

If you are interested in getting your coins shipped you may double-check your order status as I placed an oder at 12:51 and it notes "suspended"... called the Mint and they said it did not go thru yet they could take a phone order as "this is a current issue".

So buy it for enjoyment and collecting purposes and not to flip.

I do plan on buying these coins as a collector,not a flipper,but not at the mint price.They will look nice along side my dansco buff collection that is filled mostly with bu coins.

1 Troy ounce of gold is 31.104 grams....making the 1/4 oz gold buff....7.77 grams.
Can anyone confirm this??....the 1/4 oz gold buff is almost 3 grams heavier than the buffalo nickel....seems logical.
I knew it would happen.
BTW, the Mint is doing little to nothing promoting this product.
<< <i>Today is the big day. I can sense the excitement on the forum.

Maybe they don't want a falling fiat dollar like the rest of us. They'll just hang on to as much gold as they can
<< <i>I'm still undecided on whether to get the uncirc or the Proof 1/4 ouncer, guess I have a couple hours to make a decision.
I'm in the same quandry.
The proof will be prettier and mirrored with a real nice faux leather inset.
The unc will be more nickel like, but still gets that faux leather inset.
Such a decision!!!!

Not trying to start trouble, but just wondering if there's any reason w/ unlimited mintages.
Obviously if you are eligible for FS, but if not...
