Gold Buffalo Buyers Guide

The new 1 ounce .9999 fine gold buffalo is an awesome coin and agreat investment. The US mint created two types of coins, bullion classified coins for investors and proof coins for collectors. The difference is in the minting process.
The proof coins are hand fed into a die machine and stamped multiple times to give it a frosty cameo type appearance. The bullion coins are machine fed and stamped once.
Well, how do you tell the difference?
The proof coins have the W (West Point) mint mark while the regular bullion coins do not.
Which is the better investment? I will let you be the judge of that butin my opinion, a collectorsproof coin will allways be a better investment than a investmentbullion coin that has been graded.
