If you’re interested in the world of investing, you’ve likely heard about American Buffalo gold Coins. Also known as American Buffalos or simply “gold buffalos,” these beautiful coins are highly coveted by investors throughout the country.
And if you already own one—or several? Well, you’re in luck. Selling Your Gold Coins is one of the best ways to make extra money.
The American Buffalo is a one ounce, 24-karat (.9999) gold bullion coin issued by the United States Mint. Its production was mandated under Public Law 109-145, also known as the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005. (Fun fact: This law also authorized the presidential dollar coin series in 2007, as well as the cent redesign in 2009!) In June 2006, the gold Buffalo coin was then released with a limited production of up to 300,000 pieces.
Aside from its purity, the coin itself is a beautiful item. It’s a recreation of the Buffalo nickel or Indian head nickel, a copper nickel that was minted from 1913 to 1938. The original Buffalo nickel was designed by James Earle Fraser, an American sculptor. The Buffalo gold coin features adapted versions of these designs.
According to the United States Mint, the American Buffalo was the first pure gold coin the government created for the public. It was minted for Americans who want to own and invest in pure gold. And although the Buffalo bullion coin has a face value of $50, its resale value is much higher.
“Proof” coins are even finer than bullion coins. They are early samples and struck more than once, which makes the images look frosted. The process also produces a shiny, mirror-like background, resulting in a breathtaking gold coin. American Buffalo Gold Proof Coins are generally intended for collectors.
Since gold Buffalo coins are extremely valuable, selling them is always a good idea. Remember, they are made of pure gold! This means your coin’s value will align with the current gold market.
Furthermore, gold pieces—especially gold Buffalo coins—are highly sought after. So, whether you’re strapped for cash or need to fund a major life transition, it may be a good time to Sell Your Gold coin.
