The History Of The American Buffalo Gold Coin

Submitted by Christina Goldman
Sun, 10 May 2009

Before you invest in Buffalo gold coins, it might be useful to learn a little about the history of the American Buffalo Gold coin. Were you aware that it was first offered for sale by the U.S. Mint in 2006? This happens to be the US Government's first time to mint 24K gold coins for public consumption.

The American Buffalo coin has a legal tender of $50. The coin's explanation edition was sold for $800 and its price continued to rise as each year passed. There was even a Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 that remitted a face value of $50 for the 24K coin along with a limit of only three hundred thousand pieces or about ten pieces per home to be minted and sold.

Here's some minutiae about the History of the American Buffalo Gold Coin:

The illustration of the buffalo itselfnThe original copy of the coin with the drawing of the bison or the American buffalo came out in 1913 and was designed by James Earle Fraser.

Reason for the gold coin creation

In order to compete with other 24K gold coins in the market, the U.S. Government ordered the creation of the American Buffalo Gold Coin. They were losing ground with Canada's Gold Maple Leaf coin as the preferred coin by investors due to its higher composition.

Even though the U.S. Government has the Gold Eagle coin, the American Buffalo Gold Coin is more engaging for financiers due to its 99.9% pure vs. the latter. So that's the latter. So that's why in 2008, minting of the buffalo gold coins briefly stopped since it cannot keep up with the demands of the market.

The history of the American Buffalo Gold Coin has shown that investors can easily seek safety with gold to get through the current economic downfall.
