Which is a better coin for collecting?
March 30, 2010 · Posted in Silver Updates
Which would you rather have? This is a gift for my mother who loves coin collecting.
A 2008 bald eagle silver dollar proof: Only ~$44, but only 500,000 are to be produced
A 2008 American buffalo proof coin: ~$160 but no statement of limiting the production
Both are official U.S. coins from the U.S. mint.

The 2008 bald eagle coin is a commemorative coin while the 2008 American Buffalo coin is a gold bullion coin and for $160 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.
