U.S. Mint To Re-Issue Buffalo Nickel As A Large, 24-Karat $50 Gold Piece
The golden buffalo, the legendary symbol of the American West, will soon roam again this time as the nation's first pure gold coin.The U.S. Mint will start taking orders in the coming week for the coins. Officials believe they have found a winning combination that will appeal to nostalgia buffs and investors. The coin will be slightly larger and thicker than a Kennedy half dollar, will contain one ounce of gold and will be designated a $50 gold piece. The actual price will depend on the market price of an ounce of gold, plus markups. Posted by: Anonymoose 2006-06-18 |
