Guest Stujoe Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 And, in our ever continuing tribute to the Buffalo Nickel (aka Milking It For All It's Worth) From the recent coin legislation authorizing the Pres Dollars: Instructs the Secretary to strike and issue for sale $20 gold bullion coins initially bearing the original designs by James Earle Fraser, which appear on the 5-cent coin commonly referred to as the "Buffalo nickel" or the "1913 Type 1." http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:s.01047: There is still copper, platinum, palladium and a few more metals left to do as well as plastic and wood.

jtryka Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Note that it will be a $20 bullion coin, not a double eagle. This means the gold buffalo would be a 1/5 ounce gold content coin (larger than 1/5 ounce if they maintain the 91.67% pure alloy currently in use on gold eagles) which would be roughly the diameter of a nickel.

Dan769 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Anything for a buck, the american way! I was just looking at some Standing Liberty Quarters last night and thinking, why cant we go back do designs instead of deceased people. And change the design after roughly 25 years.
