About the Gold Buffalo
The American Gold Buffalo, introduced in 2006, was the first 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold coin struck by the United States Mint.
Fraser's Buffalo, in pure gold
The coin reproduces James Earle Fraser's celebrated Buffalo Nickel of 1913 — a Native American portrait on the obverse and the American bison on the reverse — now rendered in one ounce of pure gold. Its .9999 fineness makes it a favorite of buyers who want the highest purity the Mint offers.
Proof issues
Proof Gold Buffalos are struck at West Point and issued with original government packaging and a certificate of authenticity. Their combination of a beloved classic design and 24-karat purity makes them a cornerstone collector piece.
