any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? - If so... opinions? - Will you send to TPGs for first strike/early releases?

Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? The shipping on my order said not before Nov 11.

Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? Local brick and mortar dealer in Allentown, PA got them in on Nov. 2 (business strikes), not proofs. They are sold out at Spot plus $80.00. I got lucky and locked in at $1,049 spot, so I paid $1,129.00 each.

Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? I'm serious, I received mine today from the mint.

Is the packaging the same as the 2008 except for the COA?

Apocalypto | 11-04-2009 08:15 PM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? Wow. Maybe they were just being conservative about the delivery date. Mine might be delivered soon then, cool. How do they look? Are they impressive?

shamrock | 11-04-2009 08:28 PM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? This is my first Buff, it looks a lot better then I thought it would look like.

Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? i will just hold my '06 proof upside down so i think its an '09.

Coltwind | 11-05-2009 12:58 AM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? Where's the pic. No Pic, No coin. My charge card has not been charged yet. I ordered @ 1400.

mojo1 | 11-05-2009 09:35 AM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? Mine will be delivered today. I need to know if I open the box does that make the coin ineligable for 1st strike/early release status if I decide to have it graded?

hernancortes | 11-05-2009 10:39 AM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? I thought if it was sent w/in 30 days of offical release you were FS eligible whether it was opened or not. If you don't open it, you can send it in anytime as long it's postmarked w/in that 30 day frame. Call them to make sure.

AgKanga | 11-05-2009 11:09 AM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? I would like to see some pics...I ordered within the first 10 mins and my card has not been charged and order status is still "in process". I imagine they fill the orders in the order they were received but that could be a big assumption. I am sure somebody among those that have received must have a camera lying around...I am with Coltwind, no pic, no proof, no coin :Sorry: :ok: ALSO, If anybody confirms the First Strike/Early Release requirments regarding whether you can open and just send in within the first 30 days (and when the 30 days begins) OR if it has to be left unopened, PLEASE POST FINDINGS :shakehand: :coolbeer:

Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? Mine arrived today, but I wasn't home to sign for it from UPS, so I need to wait until tomorrow. Looks very nice. Thanks for posting the pic.

Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? Beautiful picture. Mine arrived yesterday. I just can not wait to take a picture for them. wait a minute...I need a better skill to do it

Just put the PRIVATE label of : "TEKHEN GIM BEST COLLECTION" add a NEW MINT LINCOLN SET that sold out in a MOMENT and make that $6,000.00 :111::111::111:

Apocalypto | 11-07-2009 12:27 AM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? I got mine today. It's nice enough to send in for grading (and the glorious First Strike designation, lol). I'll let you know how it goes. But man, what a beautiful coin.

AgKanga | 11-07-2009 08:18 AM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? Great pic, thanks!!! Can't wait to get mine....

mojo1 | 11-07-2009 06:49 PM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? I went ahead and opened mine. The finish is different than the other Buffalo Proofs I have. The raised foreground Indian/Buffalo has a much more matte/satin finish. I like it! There is more contrast and separation from the background.:bear_thumb:

The Saints had a few PROOFS like that in the early 1910s. The collectors way-back-then really frowned on them and avoided them so they were RARE in number(s). Of course, later they became (very) POPULAR and SUPER SUPER SUPER low in number: did I say SUPER Expensive because NOBODY bought them? I will compare them when I get mine. Interesting how history may rhyme if the total is low in number. Thanks.

Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? I guess I'm going to have to wait till 20 Nov to get my coins. They must of had some error coins by the time they got to my order. Nice coin Shamrock.

24 karat (or is it carat?) is really soft compared to the 90% eagles. I wonder if you are right about the error(s)? Interesting - imagine if they shut down the series too? 2009 as the last one(s), that is, right?

:5_1_120: That's a little odd. Mine were shipped a few weeks ago. Ordered 12:09 on the first day.

I bought mine a day later and got it a few weeks ago as well. Best to contact the mint and ask some hard questions.

Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? 3 Attachment(s) FINALLY!!! The pics are not up to Tom's standard, but the best I could get with a point and shoot and natural lighting. Any photoshop experts out there, feel free to edit. I also couldn't bring myself to crack it open for a clearer pic, fear of dropping it overboard and all, which eventually happened after I got the pics and decided to take it up on deck for some fresh air...but at least I have the pics :favorites21::banghead:

Make one HECK of a good "Dangler on the end of your fishing line" bet you could catch a swimming water buffalo with it. :36_1_25: :signs14: Thanks for the PICTURES in all honestly I thought they were great.

Carat if you're in England, Karat in the U.S.

MINE were supposed to ship yeaterday - supposed to - is the operative phrase. We'll see. I got them in case they are the EXTINCT type coins going into next year like most the OTHER in the PM category. Sadly. IMVHO. A:signs14:

livtocruz | 11-20-2009 05:23 PM
Re: any '09 Proof Buffalos shipped & received? This is from the U.S. mint American Buffalo Gold Proof fractional coins and the four-coin set are no longer available. Additionally, the United States Mint will no longer offer American Buffalo Gold Uncirculated Coins. Does this mean that 2009 is the last year for Buffalo's? Anyone? Or, does this just mean that from now on all future Buffalo's will be struck in a "Proof" state? :confused_m: The answer will determine whether or not I purchas one today. Thanks

OLD friend, Who knows. But the writing on the past wall says big "MAYBE," right? They killed most of the Eagles including 4 uncirculated and 4 proofs in gold; 4 platinum so far - maybe one next month I hope it's not Tungsten, right?; NO silver PROOF this year FOR first time. One Buffalo out of 4 from last year in PROOF; none in uncirculated. If it walks like a duck, waddles like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck; don't get fooled and DUCKED?:504::elefant:

Who knows??? It seemed that there would be no Buffalos in 2009 and then the Mint put out a statement that the bullion buffs would be minted albeit w/o a date. Finally both the 2009 bullion and proof were minted... with 2 months left in the year. By law, the Mint has to produce the bullion buffalo each year but it is at their discretion on when. In turn, it will take an act of Congress to end the bullion buffalo program. The proof on the other hand can be cancelled at any moment. So, who knows what will become of any proof coin next year?
