The American Gold Buffalo Coin’s introduction in 2006 was a monumental occasion for the United States Mint. Since its founding in 1792, the purest gold coin ever released by the US Mint was 22-karat gold, or .9167 content. The American Gold Buffalo coins were the first-ever 24-karat, .9999 pure gold, coins in American history.

Coin Highlights:

  • Introduced in 2006!
  • Contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold.
  • Bears a face value of $50 (USD) backed by the federal government.
  • On the obverse side is a Native American figure in right-profile relief.
  • The reverse includes the American bison.
  • Both designs from James Earle Fraser.
  • “W” mint mark from the West Point Mint.

Each of the 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins in this product listing comes to you with a protective plastic capsule. The coins do not have the original US Mint protective boxes and are available from random years. We cannot hand-pick a particular date mark for you when you buy gold coins through this listing. All products are chosen at random when your payment is processed.

American Gold Buffalo Coins feature the same designs from the Buffalo Nickel, the circulation five-cent piece from the US Mint that featured designs by James Earle Fraser. The Proof Gold Buffalo debuted in 2006 alongside the bullion version of the coin and has the highest mintage in the series at 246,267 coins in total. The lowest mintage in the series came in 2015 when just 16,591 coins were released.

On the obverse side of American Gold Buffalo 1 oz coins is the portrait of a Native American figure in right-profile relief. He has woven hair and a feather within it. The date mark is featured below his bust and the word “Liberty” is inscribed just off the nose of the figure.

The reverse face of 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins includes the design of an American bison. The buffalo depicted here is in left-profile relief and stands on a mound of dirt. The bison depicted here is inspired by Black Diamond, a resident bison from the Central Park Zoo in New York City.

Customer Reviews

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
