Gold Bullion Coins For Sale

Of all the gold bullion coins for sale the only true bullion coin minted in the United States is the Buffalo coin originally issued in 2006. What makes a coin a true bullion coin is the purity. A coin that is .9999 percent pure or 24 karat gold is considered pure enough to be true bullion.

The United States officially entered the gold bullion market in 2006 with the issue of the Buffalo Gold Bullion Coin from the US Mint. The coin has a face value of $50 and features the same images on the reverse and obverse as the 1913 Buffalo nickel. The images are that of a Buffalo or Bison standing on a mound on the reverse and an Indian with head feathers and braided hair on the obverse. This is a classic design that has been very popular for collectors and is probably why it was chosen to represent the first truly bullion gold coin minted in the United States.

Even though this is a very popular coin, there are none of these coins available as of this post in 2009. The production of these coins has been delayed because of the limited number of 24 karat blanks available at the mint. That’s interesting because if the US government can’t get 24 karat blanks, then who can and just how much gold of this purity is still available?

Other popular gold bullion coins for sale are the South African Krugerrand originally issued in 1967 and continuing to this day and the Canadian Maple Leaf issued from 1979 onward. These are both very popular coins for investors and coin collectors wanting to preserve their wealth and for those that just like a popular and beautiful gold coin to add to their collection.

So if you are looking to add to your investment portfolio or to add to your collection of valuable coins, then you probably want to check out the aforementioned bullion gold coins for sale.
