Excited about fractional buffaloes

Last week there was an article at Coin News stating that the US Mint had accidentally released the date for the introduction of the fractional gold buffalo gold coins. Apparently the date of July 15 went out on a RSS feed but was quickly taken down. If this date proves to be true, we're a week away from being able to purchase these coins. I have been intrigued by the design since it was released in 2006 but it was never in serious contention of being purchased since it was available as a 1oz. only issue. But a 1/10oz. version is most definitely within reach and is likely to be high up on my list of coins to procure this year!
