"Early Releases" virtual perfection in MS70
American Gold Buffalo bullion coins in certified Mint State 70 condition are an excellent way for investors and collectors to add value and diversify portfolios with virtually perfect gold coins from the U.S. Mint. These special examples are certified "Early Releases," which means they're among the first to be struck from new, polished dies. Certified by NGC, one of the two most-trusted grading services in the industry, they combine all of the investment power of gold bullion with the collector prestige of ultimate-grade MS70 coins.
First minted in 2006, American Buffalo gold coins are the only .9999 fine, 24-karat gold coins ever struck by the U. S. Mint. (American Eagle gold coins are .9167 fine, alloyed with small amounts of copper and silver.) Bearing a denomination of $50, they are intended as a convenient way to own pure, 24-karat gold in the form of legal tender coins whose content and purity are guaranteed by the United States Government.
Classic buffalo nickel design
The American Buffalo gold coin is modeled on the beloved buffalo nickel, first issued in 1913 and still one of America's most popular coins. Although substantially larger in size and weight, it features the same original designs created by noted American sculptor James Earle Fraser. The obverse depicts the classic profile of a Native American chief; the reverse displays the revered image of the American bison.
According to the U.S. Mint, the Native American depiction on the obverse is thought to be a composite of three American Indians who modeled for Fraser as he sculpted the coin. Two of the three, Chief Iron Tail of the Lakota Sioux and Chief Two Moons of the Cheyenne, were named by Fraser before his death. No satisfactory documentation has been found identifying the third individual, however, whose name was forgotten by Fraser. The bison on the coins reverse is believed to be modeled after Black Diamond, a popular attraction at the New York Zoological Gardens at the time.
