Perfect First Strike American Gold Eagle and American Gold Buffalo coins are now available from BGASC.com. These coins are graded Mint State 70 (MS-70) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PGCS). MS-70 is the highest grade awarded by PGCS for uncirculated coins. A grading of 70 means a flawless specimen.

Adding to the value of these MS-70 American Gold Eagles and American Gold Buffaloes is the First Strike designation. PCGS describes the PCGS First Strike program as designating “coins issued in the first 30 days of the Mint’s release. This designation not only adds value to modern coins, but takes modern coin collecting to another level with multiple Mint releases each year.”

About the American Gold Buffalo Coin

The American Gold Buffalo is the U.S. Mint’s answer to 24K gold coins issued by the Canadian and Austrian Mints. American Gold Buffalo coins are only minted in one ounce sizes, unlike their American Gold Eagle counterparts which are minted in one ounce, one half ounce, one quarter ounce and one tenth ounce sizes. In 2008, however, the U.S. Mint produced American Gold Buffaloes in one, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 ounce sizes. The coins were sold individually and in complete sets.

Continued Elevated Interest In Gold in 2017

An increased interest in gold in 2016 made gold one of the best performing financial assets of 2016. Gold is generally viewed as a safe haven. Gold sales benefited from the uncertainty created by Brexit, the U.S. Presidential election in 2016 between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the Italian constitutional referendum and the refugee crisis and terrorist attacks in Europe.

2017 has brought a new set of challenges to the international financial community,including the French Presidential election scheduled for this spring. Front runner Marine Le Pen has promised to take France out of the European Union and the Euro and re-denominate France’s currency in Franc, perhaps leading to the biggest sovereign default in history.

The front of a Saint Gaudens and American Gold Eagle coin features a walking lady liberty depiction designed by famed sculptor Augustus Saint- Gaudens.
