Released in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo coins immediately became a hot commodity for collectors and investors interested in buying gold coin. The American Gold Buffalo Coins represent a great way to buy gold at relatively low premiums over the current gold price, while paying homage to it's timeless design. Inspired by the highly popular Type 1 Buffalo Nickel, the American Gold Buffalo Coins were designed by James Earle Fraser. Fraser was a student of another gold coin legacy designer, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. James Earle Fraser was born in Minnesota and experienced life first-hand with the Native Americans and the struggle of being pushed into confined reservations. James Earle Fraser is best known for his Buffalo Nickel design and his End of the Trail sculpture, depicting the physical, sociological, and emotional exhaustion the Native Americans endured as settlers took over their land.
