Silver 1 oz Buffalo Round (Golden State Mint)

Golden State Mint 1 oz Buffalo Silver Round

This Golden State Mint 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 and 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 Stackable Round, we can continue to appreciate the remarkable contribution of Fraser's original design. We also gain the benefit of their secure stackability!

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.
