The US Mint first released the American Buffalo Commemorative Coin to the public in June 2001. The special one-dollar, 90 percent pure silver coin revisits and celebrates the classic James Earle Fraser engraved 1913 Buffalo nickel. While it is not circulated, the one-dollar coin is legal tender, and its uncirculated and proof versions are struck at both the Denver and the Philadelphia Mints.
The obverse of the coin features a profile of an American Indian, while the reverse depicts an American Buffalo; both were conceived by Fraser in New York City during the early 1900s. James Earle Fraser’s classic designs pay homage to American Indians and are reflective of America’s original heritage.
The original Buffalo nickel, designed by Fraser, was minted from 1913 through 1938. The new Silver Buffalo is an iconic resurrection of this part of this US history and is a must for any collector. However, weighing 27.73 grams of 90 percent pure silver, the commemorative American Silver Buffalo can also be a good choice for investors. The Silver Buffalo is also available in an Ultra Cameo version, which is lighter in color and rarer, and thus worth more.
