For nearly 150 years, the United States Mint had failed to strike a gold coin with a purity level above .900. The arrival of the Gold American Eagle in 1986 changed all that, and 20 years later the Gold American Buffalo upped the ante again. The nation’s first 24-karat gold coin was the Gold American Buffalo, and today it is available to purchase online at Silver.com in perfect condition.

Coin Highlights:

  • Ships to you in a protective plastic slab courtesy of the PCGS.
  • 12th issue of the Gold American Buffalo coin!
  • Limited availability of certified coins!
  • Consists of One Troy ounce of .9999 fine gold.
  • Face value of $50 (USD) is fully backed by the US government.
  • Graded Mint State 70 by the Professional Coin Grading Service.
  • First Strike designation.
  • James Earle Fraser’s bison design on the reverse.
  • Native American Chieftain from Fraser’s Buffalo Nickel on the obverse.

The Gold American Buffalo coin was authorized by the US Congress in December 2005. America’s sovereign coin program was one of the few in the world not to feature a 24-karat, .9999 fine gold coin. The Gold American Eagle is struck in 22-karat gold, while the Gold Canadian Maple Leaf and gold bullion coins from the Perth Mint feature .9999 fine gold.

Gold American Buffalo coins are available only in one troy ounce, and like other bullion coin programs from the US Mint, feature an iconic image from American history on both the obverse and reverse. James Earle Fraser’s 1913 design for the nation’s five-cent circulation piece was refined and used on the Gold American Buffalo.

The 2017 1 oz Gold American Buffalo coin in this listing has a Mint State 70 grade from the PCGS. Each of these coins has its full, original luster from the mint, and lacks any sign of detracting flaws on the surface areas.

A First Strike coin is one that the PCGS has verified was received by its depository, or an authorized third-party depository, within the first 30-day window of the release date for 2016 coins set by the United States Mint.

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. Premiums on American Buffalo Coins are typically low, but since this is a graded First Strike, there is more value over gold price per oz.

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.
