2007 $50 Gold Buffalo Coin

2007 $50 American Gold Buffalo Coin

The 2007 1 oz Gold Buffalo coin had a total mintage of just over 136,000 coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Compared to the typical mintage of U.S. coins at the Philadelphia Mint in other series, this is a tiny mintage. This mintage was also smaller than the previous year, possibly due to the popularity of a first year issue of the Gold Buffalo series. With these bullion uncirculated coins, they were only sold to Mint Authorized purchasers who then sold them to the public.

History of the 2007 $50 Gold Buffalo Coin

The 2007 American Buffalo Gold coin is a beautiful coin that can be found all the way up to a perfect Mint State 70 grade. This regular strike, uncirculated coin is the second year of issue. While it had a smaller mintage, it can be found at a relatively affordable premium in the highest grades, although the price of gold continues to rise. The obverse of the coin features the profile of a Native American Chief. The reverse depicts a full-sized bison standing on a mound. This was believed to be one of the most beloved designs on any U.S. coin, and was designed by James Earle Fraser.
