#1 They must have made, like, dozens and dozens of these. I'm sure this is some sort of Harbinger of Doom, I jut can't figure out how.

Has anyone seen one of these in real life?

#4 It seems like all the coin folks I know are deeply in love with the Saint Gaudens Double Eagle, to exclusion of all else. I have to confess I wasn't even aware there IS a gold Buffalo....

#5 I just figured out how this is a bad sign. And it's worse than bad, it's... it's.. horrific!

These things never get spent, so they're pure profit for the Treasury. without all the profit they get from these coins, they'll never be able to fund the bailout!!! OH NOES!!!

Time to ad some more states so we can sell more quarters!!! But that's inflationary! Argghh!!!!
