I actually can't believe what I'm seeing. No escrow? Gold? Newb? Quite something. I hope it all goes well! 
I discussed with OP, and am satisfied that he is legit.
I will receive the coin on Wednesday and have it promptly checked.

Yeah, I'm kind of waiting for the "Annnddd it's gone" memes.
Edit: Which I will promptly delete.
Haha well played

I have made full payment (4BTC) for the buffalo coin, and OP has provided tracking information for a pre-purchased Canada Post label.
He will ship it tomorrow, and I should receive it on Wednesday
Payment was sent here: https://blockchain.info/address/1CtLioUJH2J3MQRVYVRJbRGAJnGmHQapN3
OP has agreed not to move it until I confirm in this thread that the coin is received & tested to be authentic. I will do this no later then Friday.
Thank-you for the deal OP, look forward to it!

ill remove my negative feedback when that coin is received by a buyer @ 4BTC and is tested as genuine.
The coin looks legit to me but there are some very good tungsten based copies available now.
Also just because you hold it does not mean you are going to ship at the advertised price (hence the initial escrow avoidance)
Hope to be proved wrong and I have no probs admitting I was wrong if the time comes
Nothing wrong with applying due diligence due to the hoard of scammers on this site.

I agree. And I also hope to be proven wrong on any subsequent transactions thereafter. As a seller, I've always been firm about no escrow (with one exception). But, of course, that's because "I know I'm honest" and blah blah blah.
I am working on a sale with OP right now.
I will have it tested, and will report back here.

Nice one hope it works out ok for both of you.
Even if not, at least the back-and-forth discussion is quite civil

No problem, and I was unaware of the imitations (counterfeits) until you posted that Alibaba link. That's why I took another picture with some of my RCM bars too. I suspect they aren't something you can get on Alibaba.

1 troy ounce gold = 31.1g.
If you accepted escrow from a trusted provider on here I think you'd sell this in no time

Technically it proves very little, because the scale is so sensitive that blowing on it would increase the coin weight.

Thank you for the clarification elianite.
By "vanished" I mean the fellow immediately went offline after posting his question. As promised, I did NOT delete the question, because it is a fair one. But he has been trolling me so I'm still wondering if it was a serious question.
Does anyone else need to see the coin on a scale?

no, not needed at all.
Though it wouldn't hurt. when doing your first sale, anything helps.

I don't know if "1) weigh the coin" was a troll post or not. It seems the poster vanished, despite me replying instantly. 
stop deleting posts, you'd still have it

Please read it again. I said the poster - not the post, vanished after he made the post.
posters don't disappear
the question did, after you deleted it
You are not very smart, AJRGale.
The question is here, it has not been deleted.
Because I'm an honest & reputable seller, I wouldn't list something I don't have in-hand.
I will certainly list the MapleGrams once I physically have them. I think it will benefit those who want pure gold but don't want to buy an entire ounce.
Edit: I'm only removing posts that clearly show someone didn't read Post #1. If you have an actual sales question, it shall remain in this thread.

Okay, here's a sales question: You are "honest and reputable" according to whom?
Also, can you place your coin on a scale and let us see its mass (with handwritten forum handle and date included)?

Thanks for your polite & thoughtful reply. Yes, I understand the informal structure of the escrow here. But someone's 'forum reputation' doesn't offer me protection if the funds vanish (theft, or even if the escrower dies or something). A more likely example is the buyer lying and saying I shipped them a rock. Since the escrows here won't even type up a list of policies regarding common situations, who knows what will happen. So this only adds to the risk, not lessens it.
I'm still open to a legitimate escrow service however.
Absolutely understandable. Its something we need to move past on this forum, its always a bit hard for new members to 'break in' now, as im sure you can guess there have been countless scammers here. once you become trusted here, doing business is very easy.
If you do go the 'random internet stranger holding your money' route, I would recommend selling only to someone who already has a positive reputation here. Less chance of you getting screwed.
Id like to apologize for all the scrutiny and suspicion on this forum. Every 'new guy' gets the same treatment.
On this forum we have a sort of informal system of escrow, where there are a few highly trusted members who regularly act as an escrow by holding money until a transaction is complete. Some do happen to be anonymous outside of this forum, and could technically disappear with the money (by malice or death). Often they ask for a 1% commission or a tip. I can see how this system would seem extremely sketchy for anyone new to this community. They are not 'official escrow businesses', just 'random people' who have earned a reputation of trust over many years by holding onto tens of thousands of $ of ppl's money, etc.
PM me if you have any questions; I can vouch for some reputable escrows and answer any questions you might have.
Good luck on the sale
