In 2006 the US Mint issued the first $50 Gold Buffalo coin.

I had always liked the Buffalo Nickel as a young collector.

I was even extremely lucky to find a 1937-D 3-Legged Buffalo

in my Dad's pocket change in the '60s. I later traded it for

a $20 Gold coin.

So in 2006, I just had to get some Gold Buffalos from the Mint.

I had done well in my adult professional career. So I ordered

ten (10) from the US Mint. Thus the beginning of my Buffalo Herd.

In 2008, I had some health issues, and got distracted from coin collecting. Thus missing out on the different 4 coin denominations. But I did get 4 of the RED box MS Celebration issue. I have continued adding to the Buffalo Herd each year.

On April 9th this year, in the first 5 minutes of ordering, First Day of Issue, I placed my order for Two 2015 Proof Buffalos. Delivered on April 14th, 2 days after my birthday.

I shipped them of to NGC the next day. Graded on April 24th, and

received on April 30th.
