The American Gold Buffalo was the U.S. Mint’s first 24-karat gold coin, struck since 2006 for buyers who want American gold without alloy. This listing delivers a 1 troy ounce .9999 fine gold Buffalo certified Mint State 69 by NGC, with the date and label variety assorted at our choosing, a combination that secures a near-perfect certified coin at a discount to single-date graded listings.
Key Features:
- Contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold with a $50 face value
- Certified NGC MS69, a nearly flawless grade with only minuscule imperfections
- Random date from 2006 to present and random NGC label variety
- Obverse: James Earle Fraser’s Native American portrait from the Buffalo Nickel
- Reverse: an American bison standing on a mound of earth
Both faces carry the artwork Fraser created for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel, widely counted among the finest designs in American coinage. The obverse presents a right-facing portrait of a Native American chief, feathers trailing from his braided hair, with LIBERTY along the upper rim and the date at the truncation of the neck. The reverse shows an American bison, modeled on Black Diamond of the Bronx Zoo, standing on raised ground with its shaggy hump rendered in dense texture, framed by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the $50 1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD inscriptions.
An MS69 grade means NGC’s graders found a fully struck coin with only the faintest contact marks, one step from perfection at a meaningful savings against MS70 pricing. Each coin arrives sonically sealed in an NGC holder with a certification number verifiable through NGC’s online registry. Dates and label styles vary, and may include standard brown labels, Early Releases, or First Releases inserts; the coin you receive matches the stated grade regardless of the year or label.
