Rare Gold Coins

Certified American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins

Monaco Rare Coins is proud to offer the gold American Buffalo for sale, the only 24 karat U.S. gold coins. Receiving congressional authorization through the “Presidential $1 Coin Act” in 2005, and beginning production and distribution in 2006, the gold American Buffalo one ounce coin represents a new offering by the United States Mint. Unlike previous American gold coinage, which features a 22 karat fineness, the American Buffalo is unique, as it represents the United States first large scale circulation of a 24 karat .9999 fine gold coin in the Mint’s history.

The American Buffalo has an obverse image featuring the profile of a Native American man, while the reverse image features the silhouette of an American Bison standing in profile. The image was originally created by the American sculptor James Earle Fraser, a student of the well known coin designer Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and was originally featured on the popular United States coin, the “Indian Head” or “Buffalo” nickel.

Each American Buffalo coin contains 1 Troy ounce of gold (31.1035 grams), and has the weight of 1.0001 Troy ounce (31.108 grams). The diameter of the Buffalo is 1.287 inches (32.70mm) and a thickness of 0.116 inches (2.95mm), making it the same approximate size as the United States half dollar coin. The Buffalo features a face value of $50, and does not feature any mint mark. By law, all of the gold in the American Buffalo must be mined within the United States, and the coin must be struck at the United States Mint at West Point.

Currently, Monaco Rare Coins is offering the one ounce gold American Buffalo in units of 10 one-ounce coins.

The American Buffalo coin: minted in America, respected worldwide. Like the American Eagle, the American Buffalo carries with it all of the security, liquidity and protection that the United States Mint, and United States coins, can provide to investors giving the coin international appeal. The United States Mint guarantees the weight, content, and purity of each of the coins that they strike.
