syzygy Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Sadly, I do plan on getting one as it will keep my US Bison type set complete http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php?showto...608 Further it will be my first Gold coin. I am not crazy about the threepeat design at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sisu Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Buffalo Gold? I think a Minuteman gold coin would look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knowtracks Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Buffalo Gold? I think a Minuteman gold coin would look much better. That is a good idea Sir A perfect topic for the first .999 gold coin. If I can afford one I too will probably keep my buff set up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Not at $700 each. (Or more) People will dive into these like mad. Buffalo + Gold = The Mint throwing a party. I can see it now...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogy Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Personally, I like it! I know the design may be tired (or retro!?), but i'll bet it will look cool being cast in gold. I'll reserve judgement until the final coin arrives, but I like the fact that the mint is branching out from just the Eagle golds. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDJMSP Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 What alternate metel retread will they think of next? The St. Gaudens double nickel? Would you believe First Lady gold coins with Bust designs ? And yes, I mean just like the Bust halves. It appears classic designs will be returning - but on a bullion coin ??
