American Gold Coins

2010 $50 Gold Buffalo Proof Coin. Released June 3rd, 2010.

The 2010 $50 Gold Buffalo Proof Coin was released on June 3, 2010 at the price of $1,510.00. The 1 oz .9999 fine gold, 24-karat gold coin marks the 5th year of production and the 2010 Gold Buffalo Proof was expected to have a high amount of sales and so far the sales have been lower than the expectations, many reasons can be attributed to this, one being the price of gold keeps going up and two the 2010 American Gold Eagles have been selling extremely well this year, they had the best year in sales since 1999.

The design remains unchanged for this edition it continues to showcase the design of James Earle Fraser's extremely popular Buffalo Nickel design. The obverse has a portrait of a Native American, said to be a composite of three Indian chiefs. The reverse contains an image of an American buffalo, also known as a bison.

2009 $50 Gold Buffalo Proof Coin. Released October 29, 2009.

The United States Mint released the 2009 American Buffalo Gold Proof Coin on Thursday, October 29. It was the only collector oriented release for 2009 as all w uncirculated and fractional denominations were cut in late 2008. The United States Mint also announced that there will be "no mintage or household order limit for this product." Which came as a surprise but was a welcomed announcement by the gold coin collectors community.

The overall design remains unchanged for all Gold Buffalo Coins since their release in 2006 with both the obverse and reverse of the Gold Buffalo coins share the same basic design that first appeared on the 1913 circulating nickel, commonly known by most as either the "Indian Head Nickel" or the "Buffalo Nickel." This classic coin is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful ever produced by the US Mint and ran until 1938, when it is discontinued in favor of the Thomas Jefferson design. Coins are released with classic designs for higher sales. The obverse shows the image of an Indian leader. The reverse contains an image of an American buffalo, also known as a bison. The coins are struck at the US Mint facility at West Point Mint and bear the "W" mint mark.
