The Design of the American Gold Buffalo Coin
One of the most iconic coin designs in US history is the Buffalo nickel. First created in 1913, the nickels were created to provide homage to the native heritage of the US West. James Earl Fraser was responsible for the design of the nickel, notable because he was a student of the great Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who is responsible for many of the most beloved coin designs in American history.
The American Gold Buffalo is very similar in its design. As with the nickel, the word “Liberty” is placed just above the profile forehead of a Native American. The crisp details of the feathers and braids in the hair, combined with the weary, weather-worn expression on the face speak volumes without saying a word. The profile is said to be a combination of features from three different famous chiefs: Big Tree, Iron Tail, and Two Moons.
On the reverse side of the coin is the iconic buffalo, another enduring symbol of the US West. Traditional inscriptions, which include “In God We Trust” and “E Pluribus Unum,” are found alongside the buffalo. The weight of the coin and its millesimal fineness are also recorded on the reverse side of the coin, noted as “.9999 fine gold.”
Only the proof coins available in the American Gold Buffalo series bear the mint mark. Each coin has a diameter of 32.7mm, a thickness of 2.95mm, and a mass of 31.108g, which is just slightly above 1 troy ounce. Each coin also has a reeded edge, which is common for US coins.
The Value of the American Gold Buffalo
The Presidential $1 Coin Act not only mandated the creation of a 24K gold coin, but it also limited the mintage of the coin. This means there is a level of scarcity in some years for this coin, which has the potential of increasing the value above the spot price of gold for some investors.
Even the price of gold itself has allowed some investors to already make a good return on the American Gold Buffalo. When the 2006 US Mint proof coin was introduced to the general public, it was offered at a retail price of $800. In 2011, the proof coin in this series was initially offered at a price of $2,010.
In 2006, only the 1 ounce version of the American Gold Buffalo was released to the public. Like all other US Mint bullion coins, they are all traded actively based on their physical precious metal content and have relatively high seignorage fees compared to other high volume government bullion coin products.
