American Silver Buffalo

2001-D American Silver Buffalo Dollar

Released to commemorate the opening of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, the 2001-D American Silver Buffalo Dollar has become a highly sought-after collector’s item. Its timeless design, historical significance, and limited availability make it a prized addition to any collection. A proven sellout, this elegant silver coin offers a rare opportunity for investors and collectors alike.

A Design Rooted in American Heritage

The design of the American Silver Buffalo Dollar pays homage to the iconic Buffalo Nickel, first minted in 1913.

American Silver Buffalo Obverse

The obverse features a profile of a Native American, accompanied by the motto Liberty stamped on the top right. The portrait was created by James Earle Fraser, who based it on the combined likenesses of three prominent Native American chiefs: Iron Tail, Big Tree, and Two Moons. These influential leaders were well-known figures, often performing in Wild West Shows in New York City during the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries.

American Silver Buffalo Reverse

The reverse showcases a majestic American buffalo, standing proudly atop a mound of Great Plains soil. This design captures the spirit of the American West and serves as a tribute to the country’s natural and cultural heritage.

Exceptional Minting Standards

The U.S. Mint went above and beyond in producing the Silver Buffalo Dollar. To achieve unparalleled detail and clarity, the mint increased the tonnage pressure during the striking process. The result is a coin with extraordinary sharpness and beauty, a true testament to the craftsmanship of the U.S. Mint.

The Silver Buffalo Dollar was launched in early June 2001, and within just two weeks, the entire mintage of 500,000 coins sold out.

• Proof Version: Initially priced at $37
