Buffalo Silver Coin

Another fine Silver 1oz round from the SilverTowne mint, one of the largest private mints in North America - this one is a Buffalo Nickel remake, a Buffalo Silver Coin. The original Buffalo Nickel - five cent piece - was minted by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. Designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, it weighed 5 grams, and was made with 75% copper and 25% nickel (Source).

Buffalo Side

The Buffalo side of the coin features Black Diamond, a massive buffalo that used to live in New York's central park, as a tourist attraction (Source).

Black Diamond, the buffalo's side profile takes up most of the coin, facing to the left. On the top curve of the coin is the text "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". Directly above the Buffalo is the text "E PLURIBUS UNUM", the motto of the US, the latin translates to "out of many, one". Across the bottom of the coins, stretched to fit the curve is the text "1OZ..999 PURE SILVER". The original Buffalo Nickel has the text "FIVE CENTS" across the bottom instead.

Reverse Side

The reverse side of the Buffalo Silver Coin features a Native American man's head side profile, facing to the right. Along the top-right curve of the coin is the text "LIBERTY".

You can see the SilverTowne pickaxe mint mark near the bottom of the coin. The original Buffalo Nickel has the mint year on the bottom left of the coin.

The Buffalo Silver Coin is a solid buffalo nickel remake from SilverTowne. I especially enjoy the design with the larger size format with a 1oz silver round. Fine silver additions to the stack.

Great for Stacking by Weight purists, apparently Silvertowne is not the only mint that makes this round. My favorite source for theses is my local retailer VBCE if they have stock.

https://aubullion.ca has them from another mint too, they have cheaper than sgb. For now I'm saving up for April in Edmonton for 4.5% over spot for silver :D Gold seems very close to spot online, even for 10gram.

I've been keeping my un-patched eye on Gold Prices for a relative to anchor her retirement savings as she has much cash exposed to inflation.

For sure, inflation and federal emergency powers pushed me into stacking, it's good to not have all the eggs in one basket.

And some Asahi rounds under , in guessing you got these from silvergoldbull

You guessed it, probably my last order with them, April comes soon for in person silver shopping. Asahi rounds from the random coin barrel :D

Awesome rounds. I love the Buffalo one ounce gold coin. Some day I’ll get one.

A Golden Buffalo would be a beauty :D

Yes, Silver Buffalos have to be one of the most popular Silver Rounds out there. The SilverTowne Pick was a brilliant idea. Perfect size. Thanks again, Jack Dub - @mraggaj.

Very cool rounds! I've always love the design. I love the gold buffalos but they are expensive. Thanks for sharing and keep on stacking that silver!

Thanks, anything gold is for sure expensive, perfect for storing and preserving a lot of value in a small package :D I think a I saw a 10oz gold buffalo somewhere too, super expensive.

Interesting...

Indeed...
