    American Gold Buffalo Coins haven’t been around long enough for many unique date marks to exist, but that doesn’t mean the program is without unique coins that have been issued since its 2006 introduction. Right now, 2008 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Celebration Coins are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.

    Coin Highlights:

    • Arrives inside of a special US Mint box with Certificate of Authenticity!
    • Part of the 2008 issue of American Gold Buffalo coins!
    • Limited mintage of only 24,558 coins in this “Celebration Series.”
    • Contains 1 Troy oz of .9999 pure gold in BU condition.
    • Bears a face value of $50 (USD) backed by the federal government.
    • On the obverse side of the coins is the image of a Native American figure.
    • The reverse includes the image of an American bison.
    • Designs from James Earle Fraser.

    Each of the 2008 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Coins in this listing was struck as part of the bullion run of Gold Buffalo coins for the year. The coins are available to you in Brilliant Uncirculated condition with unique US Mint packaging that identifies the coins as part of the Celebration Series.

    The Celebration Series was concocted by the US Mint to offer numismatic coins in specially designed boxes for gift-giving occasions. These 2008 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Celebration coins are presented inside of red United States Mint boxes with a gold oriental-themed border and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. The coins were released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2008 to coincide with the number “8” as it is a lucky number in Chinese culture. Additionally, the selection of a red box was no coincidence. It is tradition during Lunar New Year celebrations to give money to one another, often in red envelopes.

    On the obverse of these 2008 American Gold Buffalo Coins is the image of a Native American. This figure marked the combination of facial features and characteristics from several different real-life tribal figures of the early 20th century and is captured in right-profile relief.

    The reverse of 2008 1 oz American Gold Buffalo coins features an American bison in left-profile relief. The animal stands on a mound of dirt and was designed based on the appearance of Black Diamond, a resident bison in New York City’s Central Park Zoo in the early 20th century.

    For the 2008 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Celebration Coin, the United States Mint diverted just 24,558 coins from the overall bullion collection for special packaging and presentation in the Celebration Series.

    When will I receive my order?+

    When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

    1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
      • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
    2. Holding period after cleared payment.
      • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
    3. Shipping method and transit time.
      • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
      • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.
    What happens if my order is lost in transit?+

    All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

    Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.

    See also Section 13 of our Terms and Conditions.

    What happens if my order is damaged in transit?+

    Though unlikely, if your order is damaged during transit and/or any items are missing we require you to contact JM Bullion immediately so we can begin the claims process. If you have taken possession of a shipment that is damaged and/or is missing items, you have 2 days (48 hours) from the date of delivery to contact us as stated in our Terms and Conditions.

    Will I need to sign for my package?+

    Orders under $1000 will not require a signature unless that option is selected and paid for at checkout. Orders over $1000 will always require a signature for delivery. Please note, per our Terms and Conditions, once a package shows delivered, our responsibility ends. Please be available and attentive to receive the package when the courier arrives. Due to COVID 19, couriers are not always getting the signature.

    What if my order shows delivered but I did not receive it?+

    Please note that JM Bullion will not be responsible for reimbursements or insurance claims on packages that are successfully delivered as addressed. Our liability and insurance cease the moment the package is signed for or left at the specified delivery address. Any issues or problems with a shipment MUST be reported to JM Bullion within two (2) calendar days of recorded delivery, else JM Bullion may deny any claim.

    For more details, please read ourTerms & Conditions, which control to the extent anything in this fact sheet differs.

    Do you ship internationally?+

    We only ship to U.S. addresses (including P.O. Boxes and APO addresses). We do not ship to U.S. territories.

    Do I have to ship my order to my billing address?+

    Depending on your method of payment, it is possible to have your order shipped to an address other than your billing address. If you pay with paper check, bank wire, ACH, Ethereum, Ripple, or bitcoin, you may have your order shipped wherever you please, with two exceptionsUPS locations and mail forwarding locations. If you pay with a credit/debit card, it depends on your order history. For credit cards, put the order through with your billing address as the shipping address, and then call us to see if we can change it to an alternate. If you pay via PayPal, your order must ship to a PayPal Verified address.

    How will I know when my order ships?+

    We will notify you by email once your order ships. You can also check the current status by logging in to your account or using ourTrack An Orderpage.

    How do I choose my shipping method?+

    You may choose how your order is shipped during the checkout process. In the last section of the checkout page, 4 Shipping Method, you will see the available shipping options for your order. If your purchase is eligible for free shipping, the pre-selected option will be base shipping, which is either USPS, UPS, or FedEx at our choice. If you would like to upgrade your shipping, you may choose one of the other options for a small fee. Simply click on the circle next to the shipping method you desire, and your order will be shipped via that method.

    If my order includes an item on presale, will the in-stock items ship first?+

    Unfortunately, due to the way insurance is applied to an order, everything must ship at the same time (i.e., in-stock items must await shipment until all presale items have arrived). Your order will ship in its entirety within 24-72 hours of our receiving the presale item. An email notification will be sent when your order ships.

    Do you ship to US territories?+

    We do not ship to US territories. Due to special requirements set by the postal systems, we are unable to ship outside of U.S. states.

    What does “No Will Call” mean?+

    All UPS & FedEx shipments ship with a No Will Call restriction, meaning the package cannot be picked up from a UPS or FedEx location or just left at the delivery address. This is a precaution to prevent orders from being fraudulently intercepted.

    UPS or FedEx will make three delivery attempts. If nobody is available at the delivery address to sign and accept delivery, the package will be returned to us.

    Where do you ship orders from?+

    All orders will ship from our warehouse in Las Vegas, Nevada. We mask our return address on all packages as to not give away the contents of the package.

    Do you offer UPS or FedEx shipping to Alaska and Hawaii?+

    No, we do not. The costs in shipping to these places is extremely prohibitive, so we utilize USPS on all shipments.

    Do we ship to P.O. Boxes?+

    Yes! When products are shipped via the United States Postal Service, we can ship to a P.O. Box. Please note that insurance on shipments to P.O. Boxes ends as soon as the package shows delivered.

    Do you ship to UPS stores?+

    We can ship to such stores including UPS Stores, various mail and packing stores, freight forwarders, etc. However, these are private businesses not owned by UPS, USPS, etc. Therefore, our shipping insurance does not cover missing packages or items sent to these locations if the tracking shows delivered.

    How do you ship orders?+
