The Gold American Buffalo coin is one of the purest coins ever struck by the United States Mint. Authorized by US Congress in 2005, the Gold American Buffalo was the first 24-karat gold coin ever struck by the US Mint and was first released in 2006. This year, the coin celebrates 10 years with the release of the 2016 1 oz Gold American Buffalo, available now on Silver.com.

  • 11th in the Gold American Buffalo Series!
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .9999 fine gold in BU condition.

  • The obverse displays the likeness of three chiefs.
  • The reverse depicts an American buffalo.

Gold American Buffalo coins were authorized for production under the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, which mandated the creation of several coin series. In the wording of the bill, the US Mint was permitted to strike a one-ounce coin with 24-karat gold bullion, and was required to bear a face value of $50 (USD). Mintage was set for a maximum of 300,000 coins annually.

The United States Mint revived one of the nation’s many iconic coin designs from the 20th century for the Gold American Buffalo, selecting James Earle Fraser’s famous Indian Head Nickel design. Fraser had been commissioned by President William Howard Taft in 1911 to create a new image for American nickels to replace those designed by US Mint Engraver Charles E. Barber, and in use since 1892.

On the obverse side of each coin is Fraser’s depiction of a Native American chieftain. Featured in right-profile relief, the design is a combination of the facial features from numerous real-life tribal leaders. Engravings include the year of minting and the word “Liberty.”

The reverse features the image of a massive bison. This image was inspired by Black Diamond, a bison that called New York City’s Central Park Zoo home in the early 20th century. Engravings on this side include “United States of America,” “E Pluribus Unum,” “In God We Trust,” and the coin’s face value, weight, purity, and metal content.

These coins are produced by the United States Mint on an annual basis in both bullion and proof version. The Gold American Buffalo coins in this listing are bullion versions with a Brilliant Uncirculated condition.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
