Try to order them. They are GONE!

rgCoinGuy · November 10, 2008 1:51AM

They may not be sold out, it is possible they are being repriced for midnight madness.

Placid · November 10, 2008 1:52AM

Probably dont want people buying them now and returning them so they have to melt them.

ozzyfan269 · November 10, 2008 1:52AM

I called them and the CSR said they were sold out.

DorkGirl · November 10, 2008 1:56AM

I just put 1 1/4 ouncer in my cart and they are in stock, ordered it, and the email I got was "Product not available" Darn, I waited too long.

notwilight · November 10, 2008 1:57AM

It's possible when the news hit a big player or two decided to buy up the remaining inventory. If so, we'll see them offered soon at a premium with lots of hype. --jerry

ozzyfan269 · November 10, 2008 1:58AM

<< Well, you must be doing something wrong. I just put 1 1/4 ouncer in my cart and they are in stock. >>

Order them then report back please. You will see that they just have not updated the web site yet.

They are GONE!!!

mbogoman · November 10, 2008 1:58AM

I just placed an order for one 1/10, 1/4 and 1/2 oz Buff proofs. They loaded in my cart fine and I submitted the order. When I checked the order status, it showed

"Your order request has been shipped."

But on the item line for each item, it showed "item is no longer available"

Confusing??? Yup, but I have learned to expect it from the Mint...

LALASD4 · November 10, 2008 1:59AM

Sorry, you were right.

renman95 · November 10, 2008 2:05AM

I just ordered a couple of 1/4's, buff and AGE, no longer avail.

GAT · November 10, 2008 2:10AM

Each and every option didn't sell out at the same time. More then likely they were pulled too reappear in the sale.

mbogoman · November 10, 2008 2:11AM

My confirmation email from the mint had $0 as the cost and "Product not available" for each of the items. They're done, kaput, finis...

2manycoins2fewfunds · November 10, 2008 2:11AM

I got an order in at 9:45 for 4 coin sets.........
number 30382XXX
It shows in stock and reserved.

When an item is cancelled because it is no longer available, you get the "shipped" notice, the computer is telling you that they've shipped everything they're gonna ship. this confirms the OP. --jerry

BECOKA · November 10, 2008 2:21AM

All I know is I got my 4 coin set and could not be happier. The box is one of the best display's I have ever seen from the mint. Top notch high quality stuff.

ozzyfan269 · November 10, 2008 2:23AM

Hmmmmmm. Maybe I could trade someone for a platinum set?

2manycoins2fewfunds · November 10, 2008 2:28AM

The Buffalo and Plats going dark could be from a major buyer stepping in or it might just be the US Mint closing the door on those with full return option prior to change on the 15th where ALL SALES ARE FINAL!

HalfStrike · November 10, 2008 2:30AM

I just bought some and they are in stock still.

tahoe98 · November 10, 2008 3:54AM

....................this may have something to do with future selections.

ambro51 · November 10, 2008 4:01AM

Are these the same coin that some of us got really really laughed at for buying on the first day they were issued?

BECOKA · November 10, 2008 4:02AM

<< ....................this may have something to do with future selections. >>

Shoot, so the buffalo proof fractionals are a one year set. Glad to see the 1 ounce will continue.

Placid · November 10, 2008 4:23AM

Someone misunderstood the message they got this morning maybe.

ozzyfan269 · November 10, 2008 4:27AM

<< Someone misunderstood the message they got this morning maybe. >>

I agree, perhaps there was confusion at the mint this morning. However, I think that anyone that wants any of these would be better off to order now rather than wait. Something tells me these are going to be huge winners.

I like them a lot!

boucharda · November 10, 2008 4:29AM

Coinsponge · November 10, 2008 4:45AM

I have a theory on this. First the mint held back a certain amount of remaining stock for the sale period and when this point was reached current orders were halted. The mint then seing a chance to make more money released some of the stock that was originally held for the sale to be sold now. If that is true then the amount of discounted gold will be thin and go fast on the 15th.

If by thin you mean non-existent.

HalfStrike · November 10, 2008 4:51AM

If anyone is hoping for lower bullion prices they may have a long wait, like till next year. I think the mint has to post prices in the Federal register to do it and won't.

ttown · November 10, 2008 4:58AM

Well there goes half the new users to this site. What are you guys going to post about in 2009?

..........don't be surprised if things get canceled! you know the mint! ANYTHING can happen!

mbogoman · November 10, 2008 5:57AM

Well, I just went the circuitous route and purchased a 1/2 oz. Unc W Buff on the Bay for $450 after my 25% Cashback rebate. I was able to order a pair of 1/4 oz Uncs on the mint website minutes ago. My order from earlier this morning still shows "Items not available" so I'm taking no chances.

puritan9 · November 10, 2008 6:22AM

I placed a couple of orders for the buffaloes about and hour ago and just checked my AMEX and there is already a hold on it, so they are in stock right now, but certainly not for long.

mbogoman · November 10, 2008 6:25AM

Does anyone know what the mintage limits, if any, are for the fractional Buffs? I seem to recall they would be minted to demand more or less - is that correct?

CB2597 · November 10, 2008 6:29AM

No mintage limit on the Buffalo Fractionals. Thats why the play here is on the FS PRDCAM70's and MS 70's.

7Jaguars · November 10, 2008 9:19AM

Except I believe that there was the article stating that they would strike out only the blanks they had on the fractionals...

Are you kidding we have the UHR coming next year.

7over8 · November 11, 2008 11:34AM

so whats the story on this "out of stock" condition?

have board members confirmed no longer available even though no "signs are up"?

PipestonePete · November 11, 2008 12:07PM

On Monday, I placed an order at 1:45 PM Eastern time for a Buffalo Proof 4-coin set and a BU 1/4-oz. Buffalo....My account states "Request on Hold" and that both orders are "In Stock and Reserved". Later that evening, at 10:11 PM, I ordered a Buffalo BU 4-coin set and my account reads the same as for the earlier order....."Request on Hold" "In Stock and Reserved". Now, whether any of that means anything remains to be seen. It would appear, however, that the coins are still in stock.

VicThrust · November 12, 2008 3:31AM

The Buff 1/10 uncs went dark.

nankraut · November 12, 2008 3:43AM

I just read this entire thread. What I see is: HYPE! HYPE! HYPE!

When gold gets down to around $500 or so, I'll buy these around melt, I think.

So that means you think the dollar will stay stong and won't fall as fast as it rose. Boy I'd hate to be you

Gold is at near highs in most countries with their currencies.

aubuffalo · November 15, 2009 4:46PM

It's one year down on this thread. Wonder what the nay-sayers would comment ...

GOLD BUFFALOES not ALL DARK, but the 1/10th UNC is!!!
