The United States Mint first issued the Buffalo Nickel in 1913. In circulation until 1938, the design was gone from everyday use, but not forgotten. The US Mint revived the images on the American Buffalo Gold Coin and private mints continually replicate the designs on silver bars, silver rounds, copper bars, and copper rounds. Right now, you can get 1 oz Silver Buffalo Rounds from the Regency Mint online at Provident Metals.
Highlights:
With your purchase of the 1 oz Silver Buffalo Round online at Provident Metals, you will receive your rounds individually or by multiples of 20 silver rounds. Individual rounds are in flips, while multiples of 20 come in protective tubes.
Obverse
The 1 oz Silver Buffalo Round showcases an obverse design that features a remarkable right-profile depiction of an indigenous individual. James Earle Fraser, the brilliant designer, ingeniously merged the distinct facial characteristics of three prominent indigenous leaders from the early 1900s to compose this captivating portrait. Inscriptions include LIBERTY.
Reverse
Behold the reverse design of the 1 oz Silver Buffalo Rounds, which magnificently portrays the iconic American bison. Fraser, driven by a desire for accuracy, sought a living representation and discovered artistic inspiration in the form of Black Diamond, an awe-inspiring bison housed at the Central Park Zoo. This extraordinary creature served as the perfect model for Fraser’s meticulously crafted buffalo design. Inscriptions on this side include .999+, FINE SILVER, and ONE TROY OUNCE.
History
The Buffalo Nickel went through several design modifications during its production. The initial design had the words “FIVE CENTS” depicted on a raised mound at the bottom of the reverse side. However, this caused excessive wear, leading to the relocation of the wording to the recessed area in 1913.
