Buy American Gold Buffalo coins to own the purest gold bullion coin ever produced by the United States Mint. The 2022 1 oz Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) American Gold Buffalo is struck in 99.99% fine (24-karat) gold, making it the flagship coin for investors who demand maximum purity from their precious metals holdings. This coin features James Earle Fraser’s iconic design from the 1913 “Buffalo Nickel,” a beloved symbol of American heritage. Its combination of historic artistry, exceptional .9999 fineness, and status as official U.S. legal tender makes it a premier choice for investors seeking a gold coin with both numismatic appeal and superior gold content. When you decide to buy American Gold Buffalo coins, you’re acquiring not just gold, but a piece of American history in its purest form.

Why You Should Buy American Gold Buffalo Coins

Investors choose to buy American Gold Buffalo coins for several compelling reasons. The primary advantage is its unmatched 24-karat purity, which contains a higher gold content per ounce than the 22-karat American Gold Eagle. This makes it an exceptionally pure store of value. Its status as legal tender, with a $50 face value backed by the U.S. government, guarantees its authenticity and weight, providing immense peace of mind. The coin’s stunning design, featuring the majestic American buffalo on one side and a proud Native American chief on the obverse, adds a collectible element that can enhance its value beyond its gold content.

The Historic Design of the Gold Buffalo

The decision to buy American Gold Buffalo Coin is also a decision to own a masterpiece of American numismatic art. The obverse design showcases a profile of a Native American, a composite image inspired by three historic figures: Iron Tail of the Lakota, Two Moons of the Cheyenne, and Big Tree of the Kiowa. The reverse features an American bison, famously modeled after “Black Diamond,” a bison that lived in the New York Central Park Zoo. This design is deeply embedded in American culture, making the coin a beautiful as well as a strategic asset. For collectors interested in other historically significant pieces, our 1876 $1 Indian Head Gold Dollar offers a glimpse into America’s numismatic past.

Buy American Gold Buffalo vs. Other Gold Coins

When selecting the right gold coin for your portfolio, it’s important to understand how the Gold Buffalo compares to other leading options.

American Gold Eagle

The American Gold Eagle is 22-karat gold (.9167 fine) and contains one troy ounce of gold. It is more durable due to its alloy and is the most popular gold coin in the U.S. The Gold Buffalo offers higher purity at a often competitive premium.

Canadian Gold Maple Leaf

The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is also .9999 fine and features advanced security features. The choice between the two often comes down to a preference for U.S. versus Canadian minting and the iconic Buffalo design versus the Maple Leaf.

Gold Bars

For investors focused solely on accumulating weight with lower premiums, gold bars are an excellent choice. We offer options like the 1 oz Pamp Suisse Lady Fortuna Gold Bar. However, the Gold Buffalo offers the added benefits of legal tender status and divisibility.

Strategic Advantages of the 2022 Gold Buffalo

Incorporating the 2022 Gold Buffalo into your portfolio offers distinct benefits. Its .9999 fineness makes it an ideal candidate for a Precious Metals IRA, allowing you to hold physical gold in a tax-advantaged retirement account. Its status as the only U.S. 24-karat gold bullion coin gives it a unique market position, often appealing to purity-focused investors. Furthermore, its stunning design and government backing make it a premier choice for wealth transfer and gifting. For investors seeking the highest grade quality, we also offer a graded Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin (PR70).
