Featuring the historic Buffalo Nickel design, the 2015 1 oz American Gold Buffalo is now available for purchase at Provident Metals.
The Gold Buffalo was struck with 1 oz of .9999 pure gold at the U.S. Mint. The stunning pieces are manufactured each year in limited quantities and are the first .9999 fine, 24-karat gold coins ever produced by the U.S. mint.
A blend of three Indian chiefs — known as Big Tree, Iron Tail and Two Moons — is displayed on the familiar obverse. Feathers decorate the top of his head. LIBERTY and 2015 are engraved.
The reverse, from which the coin gets its name, portrays the image of a burly American bison. James Earle Fraser’s design is said to be of the buffalo known as Black Diamond. Inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, 1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD and $50.

I have mixed feelings on this coin. It's 24k, so its color is gorgeous, but the mottled background severely hampers what would have been an absolutely stunning coin had the background been smooth and lustrous. On the other hand, it's a US coin, and it actually has a dollar value, which means that in a monetary crisis, it will be easily recognized as an official ounce of gold. I just wish they'd done away with the mottled background, which would enable this coin to give the Chinese Panda a serious run for its money as the most beautiful gold coin available."

The Gold Buffalo coin is my absolute favorite coin in my entire collection. The history and heritage it displays is tremendous. The fact that this 24 karat coin has a yellow luster beyond compare is what also makes it my favorite coin. I won't buy another Golden Eagle. I will stick with the Gold Bullalo coin for future gold purchases."

I think that the mottled background fits perfectly with the toughness and character of the Indian and the buffalo. This is my favorite gold coin of all. I don't think that any other coin has such a perfect match as this one with the Indian and the buffalo."

Unlike many .9999 pure gold coins, this lacks any flat surfaces to reflect the rich, lustrous color of the metal. I prefer the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Austrian Philharmonic, or the Chinese Panda, for example, all which have beautifully reflective surfaces. That said, the color of the Gold Buffalo coin is excellent, as is the detail of the face and the Buffalo. Unfortunately the background is mottled instead of smooth, which would have made this an absolutely GORGEOUS coin. "
