The American Gold Buffalo will stand forever as the first 24-karat gold coin ever struck by the United States Mint. Introduced in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo not only celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2016, but also enjoys its new status as a long-term annual coin from the US Mint. The 2016 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin is available today from JM Bullion in perfect condition.
Coin Highlights:
James Earle Fraser’s original Buffalo Nickel design was used on the nation’s five-cent piece from 1913 to 1938, and it delivered on some of Fraser’s childhood experiences. A native of Winona, Minnesota, Fraser grew up migrating across the Upper Midwest and Plains with his father, experiencing all that the frontier had to offer in the late 19th century.
His Native American chieftain is representative of three different tribal leaders of the 20th century, with Fraser creating the exact design by combining the facial features of all three men. His buffalo depiction is based upon Black Diamond, a bison that called New York City’s Central Park Zoo home in the early 20th century.
On the obverse of the 2016 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo you’ll find that portrait of a Native American leader, along with engravings of “Liberty” and “2016.” The reverse is highlighted by Black Diamond’s effigy in the center, as well as engravings that include the coin’s weight, purity, metal content, and face value.
Each of these 2016 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins is in perfect condition according to the NGC. Coins with a PF70 grade feature full, original luster from the mint and do not show any detracting flaws of any kind. Ultra-cameo, or UCAM, coins have a strong, frosted finish on the design that gives it the appearance of floating above the coin’s deeply-mirrored, clear background field.
