They are reproductions using a thin coat of silver. They are not even worth the cost of shipping

Question by Mr. So Krates: Which is a better coin to own?
Which would you rather have? This is a gift for my mother who loves coin collecting.

A 2008 bald eagle silver dollar proof: Only ~, but only 500,000 are to be produced

A 2008 American buffalo proof gold coin (1/10 ounce): ~0 but no statement of limiting the production

Both are official U.S. coins from the U.S. mint.

Best answer:

Answer by Kitty
I personally would want the Gold Buffalo simply because I have numerous Silver Eagles already... BUT if your mother is a small time collector or beginner, she will be more than happy with the Silver Eagle .

Why not get her the Silver Eagle now and start saving for the Gold Buffalo for a gift NEXT year ! It's a win win situation for both of you. If you are financially stable and money is NOT the object then get one now and the next for her at the next gift giving holiday of your choice.

Either way she will love what you give her... I know I enjoy ANYTHING my son gives me, even if it is a coin I already have. I gladly accept duplicates of any part of my collection. : )

Be sure to include a hug !!

The 2008 bald eagle coin is a commemorative coin while the 2008 American Buffalo coin is a gold bullion coin and for 0 it must be the 1/10 of an ounce. You may find that the gold buffalo will have the lowest mintage. Looking at the American gold eagle proof issues of 1/10 oz. only 17,546 2005 proofs were made and 15,636 2004 proofs were made. The most proofs made from what books I have is 143,681 from the first year 1988. Not all mintage figures for 2006-2007 have been released yet. I am a numismatist and collect the old historic coins, so would have to take the Bald Eagle for it's historic value but the gold coin would be the best investment.

Answer by Judy
Coins - easy to buy - hard to sell.
My dad got involved with coins.
You can never sell them for anywhere close to what you buy them for.
But to him - they were a hobby.

Go on ebay and check out if you see something similar.

Question by eReedsburg: which silver coin is better to buy - an American Eagle or Buffalo Round?
I have the option to buy either 20 2010 American Eagle .999 silver coins for 6 or 20 .999 silver Buffalo Rounds for 8. Which is the better investment?

Both are made out of the same amount of silver, but the American Eagle has a date and other stuff on it that the Buffalo Round doesn't. Does that make it worth more?

Best answer:

Answer by Taiping
The American silver eagle is a coin, the buffalo round is not. The Buffalo round is considered just that a silver round and actually falls into the medal class, it is not legal tender, nor is it backed by a government. Its value is the silver only. The American silver eagle on the other hand is a coin and also has a collector value added to its silver value. That is why it is more money. So the silver eagle would be the better choice. So now you know the facts it is up to you.

Answer by Computer Guy
To put it simply, your collection is worth whatever someone will give you for it. There is some lower limit, just because there are precious metals involved.

Gold is currently worth 0/troy ounce. Your 5 dollar gold piece is worth over 0 just for the gold content. Hint: gold prices are expected to continue to rise due to inflation.

Your "silver" coins are not all pure silver. depending on the year and denomination, they may be 90% or even 75% silver. Silver is worth roughly /troy ounce.

The other things are of interest only to collectors, so I cannot estimate their value. You could look at similar offerings on E-bay or visit a coin shop.

Collecting be as risky as the Stock Trade,..ever reviewed the collectors registry,.on which coins
are in demand,..and, how much the seller could get,..It be a crap shoot,..

If the seller's got the coins buyers are looking for and, would pay a pretty penny to get,..Like: "WOW,.?!! Four or five coins of the very ones in demand,.? One could cash in,..

Meanwhile,..many collectors would sell from their collection,..and, jockey to find those sold,.in a cheap market,.Then, buy for a rediculously low price,.You get my drift,..The draw back exists
in the swap off,.a seller sells from his collection,..to fill the quotas,.And, when the fake quota be met,..Suddenly, those coins,.value drops,..dramatically,..Now,..how much can the collecting enthuaist(sp) get for the formerly very valuable coins,..You get my drift,.?!"

Question by Nate: American Eagle Coin?
What is the difference between a American Eagle Silver Dollar Coin PROOF and a American Eagle Silver Dollar Coin Regular issue Uncirculated

Best answer:

Answer by zman492
Uncirculated
The word "uncirculated" means exactly what it says, the coin has not been in circulation, however "ordinary" uncirculated coins often have bagmarks, edge knocks and other small scuffs and imperfections. Uncirculated "specimen" coins issued specially for collectors are often more carefully produced and handled, so they may be better than ordinary coins mass produced for circulation, but may still have some small imperfections.

Proof
Proof coins are specially produced to a much higher standard of finish. Originally, proofs were intended as pre-production samples. As a printer would produce a small number of "proof" copies for checking and approval, so a mint would produce proofs for approval by the mintmaster, the monarch, and for other purposes. When coin collecting began to become popular about two centuries ago, a larger number of proofs were sometimes made for sale to collectors. This has developed enormously in the past few decades, and most countries, but not all, produce proof coin and sets every year or on special occasions.
