Featured American Gold Buffalo Coins

First introduced by the United States Mint in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo was the nation's first 24-karat gold bullion coin produced for the public. Each standard $50 American Gold Buffalo contains one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold.

Its iconic design was adapted from James Earle Fraser's Buffalo Nickel, originally introduced in 1913. The obverse features a Native American portrait, while the reverse depicts an American bison.

The American Gold Buffalo combines the intrinsic value of fine gold with one of the most recognizable designs in American numismatic history.

Certified American Gold Buffalo Coins

Our featured display includes American Gold Buffalo coins certified by PCGS and NGC, including examples designated MS69 and MS70.

Depending on the individual coin, special designations may include:

• PCGS MS69: A Mint State coin with a very high numerical grade.
• PCGS MS70: A coin graded at the highest numerical Mint State level.
• NGC MS70: A coin receiving NGC's highest numerical Mint State grade.
• First Strike: A PCGS designation associated with qualifying coins submitted within the service's specified release window.
• Early Releases: An NGC designation identifying qualifying coins received within its designated early-release period.
• First Year of Issue: A designation identifying coins from the inaugural year of a particular series.

Collectors often seek certified Gold Buffalo coins for their gold content, condition, presentation, and particular date or label combinations.

Collector's note: Special labels and release designations do not automatically make a coin rare. Collectibility and premiums depend on factors such as the coin's date, grade, certified population, market demand, and actual transaction prices.

American Gold Eagle Coins

The American Gold Eagle is another cornerstone of modern United States gold coinage. First issued in 1986, the American Gold Eagle is one of the most widely recognized gold bullion coin series in the United States.

The standard one-ounce American Gold Eagle carries a $50 face value and contains one troy ounce of pure gold within a durable 22-karat alloy.

The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens' celebrated Liberty design, originally introduced on the $20 Double Eagle in 1907.

Our featured selection includes a certified 2021 American Gold Eagle with an NGC MS70 grade and First Day of Production designation.

For collectors interested in modern American coinage, certified Gold Eagles offer a combination of precious metal content, recognizable designs, and third-party grading.

Why Buy PCGS and NGC Certified Gold Coins?

When purchasing collectible gold coins, authentication and condition are important considerations. Professional third-party grading provides an independent assessment of a coin's authenticity and condition.

Benefits of Certified Gold Coins

• Professional authentication: Coins undergo examination by a recognized third-party grading service.
• Standardized grading: Numerical grades help buyers compare coins within the same series.
• Protective holders: Encapsulation helps protect coins from unnecessary handling and environmental exposure.
• Certification verification: Buyers can research certification information through the applicable grading service.
• Collector appeal: Certain dates, grades, and designations may attract specialized collector demand.

Although professional certification provides valuable information, buyers should still evaluate pricing, market conditions, and the reputation of the seller.

Gold Bullion vs. Numismatic Gold Coins

Not all gold coins are purchased for the same reasons. Understanding the difference between bullion and numismatic coins can help buyers make more informed decisions.

Gold Bullion Coins

Gold bullion coins are generally purchased primarily for their precious metal content. Their market values are influenced by the current gold spot price, dealer premiums, and supply and demand.

Numismatic Gold Coins

Numismatic gold coins may carry additional premiums based on factors beyond their gold content, including rarity, condition, historical significance, certified population, and collector demand.

A certified MS70 American Gold Buffalo, for example, may trade at a different premium than an uncertified bullion example containing the same amount of gold.
