This is my 10th article in the #twelvedaysofchristmas series initiated by Hive account@silverd510 as a Santa’s wish list for stackers.

Like those who joined in on this fun article series, I posted a coin a day [9 so far of 12] that I would love to get as a gift.

The 12 Days of Christmas- DAY 10 and the tenth precious metals piece on my list, is the graded US Gold Coin featured below.

The 2006 first year issue MS70 graded American Gold Buffalo BU coin in the Black Diamond slab is scarce and coveted.

I already posses the 2006 American Gold Buffalo Proof, and the BU slabbed version in this label will be an awesome partner coin to it.

About this coin...

The American Gold Buffalo pays homage to one of the most iconic coins in American history. First minted in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo was the first 1 oz Gold coin struck by the United States Mint containing .9999 fine Gold. All American Gold Buffalos contain 1 oz of .9999 fine Gold; however, fractional sizes of this Gold bullion coin were minted in 2008 and this one year of production makes them highly collectible.

The design of this Gold bullion coin is based on James Earle Fraser’s iconic and wildly popular 1913 Buffalo Nickel. The obverse of the coin depicts the profile of a Native American man who was modeled after three different chiefs from Native American tribes: Lakota chief Iron Tail, Cheyenne chief Two Moons and Seneca chief John Big Tree. The reverse of the coin features the classic buffalo designed after Black Diamond, a 1,550-pound bison that lived in the early 1900s.

American Gold Buffalos are struck at the West Point Mint in New York. Known as the “Fort Knox of Silver”, the West Point Mint produces all American Eagle coins in Gold, Silver and Platinum as well as all Gold and some Silver commemorative coins.

If you're thinking of giving me this #10 gift for Christmas 😉, there are none currently available from traditional online dealers or the secondary market.
