Silver 1 oz Buffalo Round (Highland Mint)

Silver – 1 oz Buffalo Highland Mint Round

Buffalo Silver Rounds are one of the all-time most popular rounds available. American sculptor James Earle Fraser designed the original Buffalo Nickel in 1913, and it became an immediate success. Fraser wanted a design that would be uniquely American. His roots in American western culture ran deep, which found its highest expression in the features of his fresh design.

Fraser's sculpting of the bust of a Native American man for the obverse engraving was brilliant. Equally, the depiction of an American bison (buffalo) on the reverse matched his chosen theme perfectly! This Buffalo Silver Round depicts a replica of the original obverse and reverses designs.

Highlights

• Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 fine silver.
• Produced by Highland Mint, and displays the "HM" mint mark on the obverse and reverse.
• Obverse: Features the iconic American Indian and is a true symbol of American culture and our American roots. The inscription, "Liberty" is near the forehead and rim.
• Reverse: Displays the American Buffalo, the coin's weight, and .999 silver purity. Encircling the rim at the top is the inscription, "Silver Bullion Round."

History

The modern version of the Buffalo Silver Round replicates that which circulated in the United States from 1913 to 1938. These silver rounds make great gifts and can be used in trade and barter situations. Buffalo Silver Rounds are among the highest quality available in the marketplace and can even be held in a precious metals IRA, a popular alternative to the traditional IRA.

Many people who buy 1 oz silver rounds also buy the smaller, fractional sizes, including 1/10, 1/4, and 1/2 oz. Also, with your interest in the Buffalo Silver Round, you may want to consider the Morgan Dollar Silver Round as well.

Why Silver Rounds?

Silver bullion rounds have long been a sound choice for precious metals investors. Due to lower production costs, they generally have a smaller premium as compared to the same troy oz of silver coins. This, of course, results in less expensive upfront investment costs.

Silver rounds are available in many highly recognizable designs, making them very appreciated gift items. With an ever-growing selection, you will always find just the right match for every birthday, anniversary, and Thank-You opportunity. They are also a more budget-sensitive way to introduce your children to a life-long appreciation of coin collecting.
