For those who enjoy the process of buying gold, for investment purposes or sheer pleasure, the American Gold Buffalo Coins should be included on their list! The American Gold Buffalo Coins do not have unlimited mintages, like many other bullion coins, resulting in a yearly free for all, among collectors and investors, once the coin is released. The Certified Proof Buffalo Gold Coin 2012-W PF70 NGC carries the "W" mint-mark and has been given the highest grade. NGC is a world renown grading agency, in the US, and is revered for its sleek packaging and "on the nose" coin certification.
The American Gold Buffalo Coin was first released in the Summer of 2006 and goes down in history as the first 24-karat gold coin to be produced by the US Mint,. The design is rooted in American history, inspired by the Indian Head Nickel design of 1913. James Earle Fraser is the artist responsible for such a stunning coin design, meeting an American bison in real life, just to draw it portrait. Black Diamond is the American Bison used as a model for the buffalo design. It has been recorded Fraser needed to constantly distract the beast, while drawing its portrait, to contain the side profile view, due to the bison wanting to constantly look forward.
