American Buffalo vs American Eagle – Key Differences

Although both coins contain 1oz of gold, there are important differences:

American Buffalo

• 999.9 fine gold (24ct)
• First issued in 2006
• Features the iconic Native American portrait and American bison
• Pure gold composition

American Eagle

• 22ct gold (91.67% gold, alloyed for durability)
• First issued in 1986
• Features Lady Liberty and the American bald eagle
• Contains exactly 1oz of gold despite alloy composition

Some investors prefer the Buffalo for its 999.9 purity, while others prefer the historical legacy and durability of the Eagle.
