Introduced in 2006, the Gold American Buffalo is one of two gold coins for sale from the United States Mint on an annual basis.

With the historic imagery of the Buffalo Nickel on its obverse and reverse fields, the Gold Buffalo marked the 100th anniversary of its source of inspiration in 2013 with a special reverse-proof strike.

The Buffalo Nickel coin’s designs served as the inspiration for the release of the Gold American Buffalo bullion coins. The original images were created in 1913 by James Earle Fraser and approved by the administration of President William Howard Taft for use on the US five-cent piece. The design was originally known as the Indian Head nickel but was more commonly referred to colloquially as the Buffalo Nickel. It remained in production at the US Mint until 1938.
All of the 2013-W 1 oz Reverse Proof Gold American Buffalos in this product listing comes with near-perfect PF69 certifications. A coin with a PF69 grade has full, original mint luster with no more than two minor detracting flaws present. Examples of acceptable flaws include only minuscule contact marks or hairlines. These flaws must be located outside of the primary focal points of the coin. Please keep in mind that varied labels are possible, though not guaranteed, with your purchase. If you buy multiples, your coins could have all matching labels. These reverse proof coins have mirrored elements and frosted background fields.
The obverse of 2013 Reverse Proof Gold American Buffalos features the right-profile bust of an indigenous figure. His bust is accompanied by inscriptions of the “W” mintmark, the word “Liberty,” and a date mark.
On the reverse side of 2013-W 1 oz Reverse Proof Gold American Buffalos is a left-profile image of an American bison. Black Diamond, a resident of the Central Park Zoo in the early 20th century, was the model for Fraser’s design.
