For many years, collectors and investors on had the opportunity of buying 22-karat gold when buying American Coins. Because 24-karat gold is so soft, many believed that a 24-karat coin would not be able to with stand the harshness of circulation. Since 1933 no gold coins have been put into circulation, and by tradition these coins were made with a mixture of cooper and silver for hardness. Well for the first time in Americas history and due to the increased competition in the gold investing world from China and others, in 2006 Congress authorized the production of these magnificent American Buffalo gold bullion coins. The American Buffalo gold bullion coin is a tribute to Americas history, featuring the profile of an Native American chief and a buffalo on the reverse. This Design was taken from James Earle Fraser (A student of Augustus Saint Gaudens), who in 1913 designed the Type 1 Buffalo Nickel. Each coin is inscribed with .9999 Fine Gold, 1 Oz., E Pluribus Unum, and In God We Trust. When it you but the American Gold Buffalo you are buying a coin that’s content and purity is guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Thus making this coin not only recognized by investors in the United States, but also around the world.
