I never had any issues on my .9999 gold buffalo’s. I have heard issues on the .999 gold pandas. I have seen also 1 gold proof buffalo with the reddish orange spots.

Hey Joe, I use to think that .999 gold was free from copper spots till they started showing up on my sealed gold pandas and 1/10oz proof buffalo.

The reason i didn’t buy any was because of the 90% gold and 90% silver. I won’t pay these prices for 90% as well as the coins down the road possibly can get carbon/ copper spots. Store the coins well..

JOE #2,
Thanks for replying. I agree with everything you say, however if the public is “stupid” enough to go get them from those websites, so who is at fault? Remember, it takes to parties to complete a sale…Personally, I bought mine straight from the Mint. One thing that I can never understand is, if the US MINT is still selling them for $48-$52 dollars why would someone go to Ebay at that same time and pay $40-$50 more to get them? Instead of getting them from a Gov’t Agency you can trust (supposedly), they get them from a stranger that wants a personal profit…you see my “stupidity theory” ?

Eddie… I was a Yankee and Met fan for years. I love baseball like anyone else.
I have been in the coin collecting business since the early 70/s. It’s a mockery what’s happening today with coin collecting with these outrageous coin prices charging approx: $1,000 for a 1/4 ounce piece of gold. Today with first strikes, early releases and all the other bs things going on today, imo, this destroyed the coin collecting business by inflating these coins to outrageous prices. People are just flipping these coins imo. Maybe a few will keep them. The grading business ( pcgs,ngc, anacs, ) and the others are good for authenticity. the ms-proof-69 and 70’s ( which most people can’t tell the difference anyway ), Inflate these prices to insane prices. Watch home shopping network ( the coin collector ) and look how they rip of the public.

I wonder how many you ordered, JOE #2…
I love baseball, and love coin collecting so don’t really care that much about the “investment” part of it. Do you think there will be more curved designs? Hard to pick a better idea than a baseball – baseball glove combo.
