Invest in 1 oz Gold Buffalo coins and own a piece of American history

The modern Gold Buffalo, an investment coin with an excellent worldwide reputation, is named for the buffalo depicted on its reverse. Featured on contemporary Gold Buffalo coins is an adaptation of the artwork designed for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel. This artwork showed the profile of an American bison, generally believed to be Black Diamond, who lived in New York City’s Central Park Zoo in the early 20th century. Bison had been destroyed in such great numbers that their existence was severely imperiled and zoo specimens were at that time extremely exotic. Happily, human intervention helped recover their numbers and the reverence showed to the gorgeous Black Diamond played a part in making the resurgence of the American Bison a priority for American citizens. The Gold Buffalo is truly a small piece of American history that you can hold in your hand.

Know the Collectible and Investment Value of Gold Coins

Numismatic Gold coins are ones that appeal specifically to collectors looking for something rare, historically significant or aesthetically pleasing. Collectors generally seek out Gold coins such as early 20th century American Double Eagle Gold coins or other exceptional pre-1933 Gold coins, like the Indian Gold Half Eagle. Conversely, investors tend to covet Gold coins such as these 2018 1 oz Gold American Eagle because they focus on raw Gold value. The beautiful design and historical value are a bonus but not the main motivation to purchase. This contemporary American Eagle Gold coin is for investors. It boasts a low premium-over-spot as well as an impeccable reputation gained by being a product of the U.S. Mint.
