message: what's with the W and the F behind the indian's neck and on his shoulder?
I've looked around a little and some of the other coins also have similar marks.
I looked for some mention on other articles such as United States coinage to no avail.
Does anyone know what those are supposed to mean? VdSV9•♫ 13:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Maybe this info could be put in some of the coin articles? Er... I don't really know this stuff so I'll leave it to someone who knows just what he's doing. VdSV9•♫ 15:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I understand that User:E20Ci may perhaps feel he "owns" the Buffalo Coin article since he wrote it, but the price is NOT based on the spot price of gold and a small premium. The mint has announced a FIXED price of $800. Spot on gold is under $600. True buillion coins like the American Eagle are based on spot plus premium. In the future the price of the AB will fluctuate to the market, but not now. -- Cecropia 18:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

message: This article says:
::This was the first time ever that the United States Government has minted pure (.9999) 24-karat gold coins for the public
That surprised me; I thought they were commonplace a century ago.  I looked at American Gold Eagle, expecting that to be about coins used a century ago, and it's about a coin not released until very recently, in 1986.  Where's the article about the gold eagle coins used a century ago? Michael Hardy 19:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The coins then were not that pure, maybe .900-.975, but low enought to where they were not "bullion" coins.  Try here.  Eagle (United States coin), Gold dollar.  :)  Joe  I 08:24, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: According to the mint's website, they are releasing a different version of the coin this year, but I can't tell from the description what's physically different about the coin.  The packaging is a little different, but why is it $300+ more than the previous years' coins? blx (talk) 20:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
