Silver - 1 oz Buffalo Round

1 oz Buffalo Silver Round

This 1 oz Buffalo Silver Round design is based on the original Buffalo nickel, minted from 1913-1938. The Buffalo nickel was designed by James Earle Fraser and was immediately received with high acclaim. Even to this day buffalo nickels remain a favorite of collectors.

Fraser's new design began with a series of sketches, which he submitted for approval. He was pleased that the Native American Buffalo sketches were selected from the three. As he later reflected on his choice of the coin's design, he indicated that he wanted to display a uniquely American theme. He decided upon a portrait of a North American Indian, and the American buffalo (bison).

With this Buffalo Silver Round, we can continue to appreciate the remarkable contribution of Fraser's original design.

The affordability of this sackable silver round also makes it a very thoughtful gift to introduce collectible rounds to your younger friends and family. The reeded rim is a very attractive addition, even if you don't plan to stack.

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.
