<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=750 align=center border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD vAlign=top><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD> United States Mint to Offer 2009 American Buffalo Proof Gold and American Eagle Platinum Proof Coins http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/inde...elease&ID=1070Agency also announces products not offered in 2009 WASHINGTON - The United States Mint announced today that it will offer for sale 2009 one-ounce American Buffalo Proof Gold Coins and one-ounce American Eagle Platinum Proof Coins. The release dates for these products are tentatively October 29 and December 3, 2009, respectively. In addition, the agency will release the one-ounce 2009 American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coin on October 15 and the fractional 2009 American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins-in the one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce weights-on December 3. The United States Mint will not offer the following products in 2009: the one-ounce American Eagle Silver Proof Coin; the one-ounce American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin; the American Eagle Gold Proof Coins (all weights, as well as the four-coin set); the one-ounce American Eagle Gold Uncirculated Coin; the United States Mint Annual Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set<SUP>TM</SUP>, which also includes a one-ounce American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin; and the American Eagle Platinum Bullion Coins (all weights). Because of unprecedented demand for American Eagle Gold and Silver Bullion Coins, the United States Mint suspended production of 2009 proof and uncirculated versions of these coins. All available 22-karat gold and silver bullion blanks are being allocated to the American Eagle Gold and American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin Programs, as mandated by Public Law 99-185 and Public Law 99-61, respectively. Both laws direct the agency to produce these coins in quantities sufficient to meet public demand. The proof and uncirculated versions of the American Eagle Gold and Silver Proof Coins are not mandated by law. The United States Mint is working diligently with current and potential blank suppliers to increase the supply of bullion coin blanks, so it can offer to the public the proof and uncirculated versions of American Eagle silver, gold, and platinum coins in 2010. The United States Mint, created by Congress in 1792, is the Nation's sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage. Its primary mission is to produce an adequate volume of circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce. The United States Mint also produces proof, uncirculated and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver, gold and platinum bullion coins.

Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
The MINT should sell the Buffalo bullion coins directly through the MINT's website since they waited so damn long to get these out. Now the price of GOLD is at an all-time nominal high, Buffalo premiums are $150 over spot, and there are less than three months left in the year to get these things minted and sent to distributors nationwide; I sense a severe ASS-RAPING on the price of these things unless they are available directly from the MINT as a way to make-up for their colossal failure to do their jobs.

Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
Discuss the implications:
1)What will this do to '08 Buff values? Pay attention to weekly mintage going forward! 2) I do not think the mint has ever allowed production of BULLION eagles into the next calender year! Meaning bullion production has always ended December, then the next year is offered the first or second week of January. That leaves less than 1 month of fractional AGE bullion availability! (Dec. 3 to Dec. 31) and only 2 months of Bullion Buff availability (Oct. 29th) Yes or no? Basically I'm saying there could be some NEW keys to the Eagle and Buff series. |
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
Question:
What's the best way to order these right now? Anything that the mint decides to BLESS us poor unwashed and dity souls with? |
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
US mint's website says buffalo proofs to go on sale end of October.....Hopefully that means we can order direct. That's how most proofs are sold, right? Anyone want to guess the cost? I'd say 250 dollar premium easy.
|
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
MTS,
Correct, proofs are direct ordered from the mint (pricey) and they announce availability weeks in advance (12 noon), so I'd keep checking the site for a link. Notice the press release's qualifier that everything is tentative! Bullion buffs are released to authorized dealers only. |
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
October may bring the BIGGIE advance on spot, say guesstimate, of $1250.00
add 300 to that and figure $1,550.00 or more each for ONE proof BUFFALO at ONE-OUNCE. Total guess - but right now it would be around $1,400.00 if IT was up on the site and available - and it Ain't! |
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
I'd guess it'd slot in a notch below the UHR, a differnence of say $40 or $50.
|
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
Anyone think there'll be a one-per-household limit like the uhr? If so, any guess to mintage of the proof buffalo?
|
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
according to the mints pricing schedule right now they would be 1308.00
|
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
There goes a complete set of ASE proofs. They couldn't get enough silver to produce the proofs. They couldn't find 750,000 oz of silver?
Something doesn't smell right. |

Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
Can someone please explain to me what this "W" mark I hear many of you speak of on the American coins & what is its significance if any & how does it effect the price of items? Is there a comparison that other countries have to the "W"? Also what is burnished as I have also seen this mentioned in particular with coins with this "W" mark?
Lots of questions for our friends over the pond, :wink: been meaning to ask about this for a while. |
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
THe W is simply the mintmark indicating where the coin was minted, West Point, NY.
The only remaining mints in the US are Philadelphia, Denver and San Fran. Often coins are not minted with a mintmark though. Mints used to exist in Charlotte, Carson City, New Orleans, and Dahlonega. |
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
W signifies The Mint that it came from which in this case would be West Point New York.
They only produced a limited number of "W"'s so it all just a matter of populations and few design changes( reverse strike, frosting, etc) Nothing really to lose your mind over unless you are in hardcore speculation or collecting for the sheer love of having a complete set. Hope this helps. T |
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
Apmex has the 09' a bit cheaper than the 06-08 I looked at couple weeks back. They wanted $1,149 when I was lookin then. Picked one of nucleo for 1,083.

I rather SEE a LITTLE than HEAR a LOT of B.S.

Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
I took the plunge on a Gold Buffalo...i was going to wait for the proof version but at this time i just dont see it worthwhile to drop an extra 200-300 on it.
|
Re: HOT OFF THE PRESS: '09 BUFFS A GO
APMEX.COM has them for $1129.00 ish now. Billion strike business - the PROOFS are so much prettier - darn IT!
"I wonder who KISSING her now?" old song from WWI or WWII - that's for my GOLD EAGLES and their kissing cousins - 1/2 1/4 (with funny $10) and the 1/10 too. In PROOF and circulated. Oh, my goodness my set of PROOF silver eagles has been ruined too. :ok::ok::Surrender: Platinum - don't even think about those 8 coins. At these give a way prices - you gotta be crazy to mint anything, right? banchabancha:banana::banana: |
