Sweet. I just got my 2007 MS70 First Strike Buffalo for $866 from BlanchardOnline.com. My account rep is looking for the '06 Plat Eagle in MS70 for me. I'm also going to pick up a 1908 St. Gaudens with no motto, depending on what the price of the plat eagle is I'll get either an MS63 or 64. I also just found out that my lady has a stock option for her company that will give us an instant profit of considerably more than 50%. So I'm putting about $3k into coins and $2k into stocks, that should be a nice base to start out with.

Speaking of the '06. I just got a 2006W Buffalo in PR70 (NGC) for $1,099 and a 1997W $10 Plat Eagle still in its case for $169 I'm going to send the '97 to NCG and if I get super lucky it'll be worth $5250 or just $200 otherwise. That one's really fun. The suspense! The thrill! If nothing else the '06 Buffalo is worth twice the purchase price. I got these from APMEX.com.

I still waiting on the broker from the Blanchard to get back to me on the 2006W $10 Plat Eagle. Maybe an '04W but if not, I'm going to ahead and get the St. G. The no motto isn't really a big thing now, but I have a feeling it might be in the future. That apmex place even has the 1908D both with and without motto. If I had another $3600 to spend on coins I'd pick those up.

Ooooh. The '07 Buffalo just came in. This thing fully rocks. The '06 Buffalo and '97 eagle don't ship out for another two days still, so they should be here next week. I'll get a pic of all three then.

I'm looking to get into some coin collecting, but I have NO idea about the lingo you guys are talking about. I searched around the US Mint website but there is so much stuff on there i don't even know where to start. So what would be a good first investment?

I was thinking about getting a few of these: U.S. Mint Online Product Catalog

?
