American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins
Although American Eagle, 22-Karat bullion coins are the official bullion of the United States, many household investors prefer the 24-Karat precious metal content of American Buffalo gold bullion coins. These beautiful coins contain one full Troy ounce of pure gold, and are also offered in smaller denominations of ½-ounce, ¼-ounce, and 1/10-ounce, so investors can more easily round off their budgets. American Buffalo gold bullion coins make superb candidates for physical ownership, but their long-term benefits can also be utilized as U.S. government approved, precious metal IRA contributions. Other, foreign 24-Karat bullion coins are also acceptable contributions, but admittedly, a great many household investors still believe in buying American, and are attracted to the “Wild West” mystique that American Buffalo gold bullion coins possess.
The obverse side of the American Buffalo coin is particularly intriguing, as its’ design is taken from the famed Buffalo Nickel, created by James Earle Fraser. The design is a profiled image of a Native American man, whose features are actually the composite of three different models that Fraser used for his preliminary sketches. John Big Tree, Two Moons, and Iron Tail, were all original inhabitants of this continent, and chosen to represent their respective tribes. The reverse side portrays an American bison (or buffalo), in a full-figured profile, standing atop an earthen mound. The animal lived in New York’s Central Park Zoo during the early 1910’s, and required constant distraction, so Fraser could sketch him.
