SilverTowne Buffalo Stackable 1 oz Silver Round (New)

SilverTowne has operated out of Winchester, Indiana since 1949, making it one of the longest-running private mints in the United States. The Buffalo round is among their most recognized designs — a direct nod to James Earle Fraser’s iconic Buffalo nickel, adapted here for the one-ounce silver round format with a stackable edge treatment that sets it apart from standard issues. For collectors and stackers alike, it delivers a familiar, well-executed design in a format built for practical accumulation.

Key Features:

• Purity & Weight: 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver
• Metal: Silver
• Obverse Design: Right-facing Native American portrait in close profile, feathers and braided hair in detailed relief; inscribed “LIBERTY” along the right border
• Reverse Design: A full-bodied American bison standing on a rocky ground line, facing left; dense fur and musculature rendered in strong relief; inscribed “1 TROY OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER” along the lower arc
• Edge: Distinctive stackable reeded edge — wider, deeply ridged bands designed for stable stacking

The obverse draws directly from Fraser’s 1913 Buffalo nickel design, scaling the Native American portrait up to the full diameter of a one-ounce round. The face fills the inner field generously — strong brow, prominent nose, and jaw rendered in confident relief against a mirror-polished background. Three feathers are tucked into the braided hair, and the braid detail is cleanly struck at the back of the neck. “LIBERTY” runs vertically along the right border in bold lettering. The contrast between the frosted portrait and the reflective field gives the obverse a near-proof quality appearance.

The reverse carries the bison in full side profile — one of the most enduring images in American coinage tradition. The animal stands squarely on a curved ground line, its massive front-loaded frame conveyed through layered fur texture across the shoulder and neck. The hind quarters are comparatively smooth, accurately reflecting the natural variation in bison coat density. Hooves, legs, and tail are individually defined, and the overall composition fills the inner field without crowding it. “1 TROY OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER” arcs cleanly along the bottom.

What distinguishes this round from standard Buffalo issues is its stackable edge — wider, more prominent reeding that allows rounds to seat securely on top of one another without shifting. For stackers storing multiples, this detail is a practical advantage over rounds with conventional edge treatments.

Each round arrives in new condition from SilverTowne’s Indiana facility. The design’s historic roots, the mint’s long track record, and the stackable edge make this a well-rounded one-ounce silver option at any price point. Add it to your cart today.
