Description

In American history, The American Gold Buffalo pays homage to one of the most celebrated coins in the country. Launched in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo is one of the annual bullion products from the United States Mint. The coin depicts the design of the Indian Head Nickel and has acquired its nickname from the American Bison on the coin’s reverse.

Notice that the U.S. Mint does not directly sell its bullion coins to the public. Instead, they distribute their coins to reliable and authorized purchasers, who then sell them to individual collectors.

Today, the 2021 W 1 oz American Proof Gold Buffalo is available online from hollywoodgoldexchange.com.
