Get Lasting Value for Your Collection with Gold Buffalo Coins

Buffalo Gold Coins are a valuable addition to any coin collection. Struck on specially prepared planchets, these particular proofs offer more shine and luster than their bullion counterparts. If you are building an extensive Gold Buffalo Nickel collection, this is an essential addition.

Gold Buffalo Coins have historically retained their original value and enjoyed sustained appreciation over time. Much like the timeless Gold American Eagle Coins, these are a staple that should have a place in any American coinage collection. If you are shopping for modern U.S. Mint Gold, the Gold Buffalo Coin is a design you cannot afford to ignore. This 1 oz of .9999 fine Gold may appreciate to have a far greater value for mindful collectors and investors who protect these items long into the future.

Explore the Rich Heritage of Gold Buffalo Coins

American Buffalo Gold Coins feature the same design originally featured on the Buffalo Nickel. The Buffalo Nickel was minted from 1913 to 1938. The William Taft administration commissioned sculptor James Earle Fraser to create this design as a replacement for the Liberty Head Nickel design.

These Gold Buffalo proofs feature the profile of an American Indian chief on the obverse. Fraser purportedly modeled the bust after Iron Tail, John Big Tree and Two Moons. Thus, the design is a combination of several Native American chiefs rather than an exact portrait of one individual.

The reverse of the Gold Buffalo displays an American bison. It is widely believed that Fraser used Black Diamond from the Central Park Zoo as his model. However, Fraser once stated that he viewed the model bison at the Bronx Zoo. If the animal was indeed viewed at the Bronx Zoo, it is more likely that an American bison known as Bronx was used for the design.

The American Buffalo Gold Coin offers exquisite detail on both sides with a beautifully polished sheen that makes it a charming piece to behold. With 1 oz of .9999 fine Gold, this is a valuable choice that gives you a Gold investment you can enjoy right in your hand.

A must have for every collection

This was my first gold coin and I couldn't be happier. From the original U.S. mint packaging to the pure beauty of this flawless coin, I'm simply awed by the product. If you've never held real gold money in your hand, I couldn't recommend it enough. It's no wonder gold is so popular. Buy one for yourself and see what the fuss is all about.
