In 2006, the U.S. Mint issued the modern version of American gold Buffalo coins in order to compete with the foreign 24-Karat gold coins such as the Canadian Maple Leaf. Before the release of Buffalo 2006 gold coin, there were no American 24-Karat pure gold coins available for investors who need 0.9999 pure gold Bullion. So the Buffalo 2006 gold coin was an immediate success. Over 300,000 coins sold out that year, comparing to the total sales of around 200,000 American Gold Eagles. Here are some important things you need to know before buying Buffalo 2006 gold coins.
Buffalo 2006 gold coin features a distinctive American Design based on American sculptor James Earle Fraser’s 1913 Buffalo Nickel. The coin’s obverse side is the famous Indian Chief Head. An standing American Bison appears on the other side. Beneath the Buffalo’s head inscribed with the motto “In God We Trust.”
Although the coin has a legal tender value of $50, Buffalo 2006 gold coin is actually priced based on the gold content it contains plus a small premium as the gold Bullion coins. The 1 oz Buffalo gold coins appear in two versions, proof and uncirculated. Proof gold Buffalo coin is struck multiple times with a specially polished dies to produce an effect that highly detailed images seem to float above the field of the coin. Uncirculated old Buffalo coin is minted with a satiny finish and flashy appearance instead.
