2010 Buffalo Gold Proof Coin Launches June 3
Collectors awaiting the release of the 2010 American Buffalo Gold Proof Coin will not have to wait much longer. According to the United States Mint, sales for the one ounce .9999 fine, 24-karat gold piece will commence on June 3, 2010.
The US Mint has been striking the one ounce proof Buffalo since 2006, and offered fractional sizes in 2008. Unfortunately, the smaller versions lasted less than one year as the Mint canceled them as part of their portfolio trimming announced in November 2008.
The Buffalos have experienced roller-coaster availably with demand for gold coins taking off in 2008, leaving supply shortages. The Mint suspended sales several times as a result.
