2001 Silver Buffalo Buying Guide

2001 silver Buffalo coin is a strikingly beautiful commemorative coin. Commemorative coins are those coins issued to honor some American events, people, places or causes. Although commemorative coins have legal tender value, they are not released for regular circulation purpose. Commemorative coins are produced in limited quantity and only available for a limited time, making them especially popular among collectors or investors.

2001 silver Buffalo coin was issued to the public by the U.S. Mint on June 7, 2001. A total of half million silver Buffalo coins were minted and were sold out in three weeks. The silver Buffalo coin was minted to celebrate the opening of National Museum of American Indian of the Smithsonian Institution. The design of Silver Buffalo coin is a replica of the famous 1913 Buffalo Nickel by James Earle Fraser (1876-1953). The face side of the coin portrays a Native American Chief and the word "Liberty." The back side design is an American bison standing on a mound of dirt, which many people believe is based on Black Diamond, a real-life buffalo of the New York Bronx Zoo. Bison has been closely linked to the lives of Native Americans, who hunted bison and used the carcass for everything from shelter and food to needles and cooking implements.

The 2001 silver Buffalo coin is 90% silver and 10% copper, with a face value of $1 US dollar. There are two versions of silver Buffalo coins. The Proof version is minted in Philadelphia, PA, with a "P" Mint Mark inscribed on the coin. The uncirulated version of silver Buffalo coin is minted in Denver, CO, with a "D" Mint Mark incribed on the coin.

Because of a great demand of the 2001 silver Buffalo coins among collectors and investors, there are some counterfeits in the market selling as the real thing. Besides numberous differences in the coin appearances and details between the authentic and fake ones, you can also weight the coins, or check coin sizes and thickness. You can also subject it to the magnet test. A Silver Coin won't be attracted to the magnet, but a fake steel coin would. Before you decide to purchase a silver Buffalo coin, remember to ask for a certificate of authenticity.

There are many sources to buy 2001 silver Buffalo coin today. can visit local coin shops, or order from mail catalogs. In my opinion, however, the best place to purchase silver Buffalo coin is online. The accessibility of the internet has made buying coins much easier than it ever was before.

Always remember to buy from a reputable seller when shopping silver Buffalo coin online.

Constantinople, May 1453. In the dying days of the Byzantine Empire, Isaak Metochites and his family are entrusted with a silver reliquary carved with the figure of a weeping angel and the inscription: Behold the Proof of Chora, Container of the Uncontainable. Four hundred years later, magistrate Kamil Pasha is plagued by thefts of antiquities from mosques and churches and a series of murders in which the bodies bear the same distinctive mark.

State of Israel Coins Akko  Silver Proof Coin


State of Israel Coins Akko Silver Proof Coin


$382.88


The Bank of Israel has chosen the new Akko coin with which to open both the year 2010 and the new decade. Akko richly deserves to be included among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites worthy of preservation inasmuch as this 4 000 year old port city jutting into the blue waters of the Mediterranean on Israel s northern coast is a unique and priceless jewel. UNESCO s designation of Akko states that the exceptional history of the city is reflected in the fact that its well preserved Crusader subterranean city dating from the Middle Ages atop which is the Islamic fortress city of Ottoman times (18th19th centuries) presents a priceless picture and testament of how ancient cities were planned and constructed and how later cities were built emerging from and on top of the older ones. This is exemplified as well in the layered archaeological findings of Jerusalem and each city teaches us about the other one. It is interesting to note that the Crusader city with Byzantine and Roman remnants was discovered in the 1960 s when municipal development necessitated the construction of a modern sewer system. Akko incorporates and encapsulates the entire history and archaeology of the Land of Israel from Biblical times even before King Solomon through the Greeks and Romans the Byzantines the Crusaders the Ottomon Moslems Napoleon the British and finally the fledgling State of Israel (as depicted in the famous film Exodus with its dramatic prison escape from Acre s moated fortress). Akko (Acre) is also a microcosm of modern Israel where Jews and Arabs live work and interact together in normalcy which is enviable throughout the Middle East and boasts a thriving population of some 47 000. It is a tourist mecca as well and its beauty can be seen on this coin which portrays on its obverse the ancient fortress walls with the famous KhanelUmdan caravanseraie and its clock tower erected to celebrate the 25th year of the reign of the notorious Ottoman Butcher of Acre Sultan Suleiman Abdul Hami

State of Israel Coins Jonah In The Whale  Silver Proof Coin


State of Israel Coins Jonah In The Whale Silver Proof Coin


$382.88


Jonah the Prophet was commanded by the Lord to go from the Land of Israel to the city of Nineveh (thought to be Mosul in Iraq today) to warn its people to repent for their evil ways lest their city be destroyed. Jonah however chose to flee from his mission by boarding a ship bound for Tarshish (thought to be Spain today). When a violent storm arose the ship s crew believed that one of the passengers was responsible and cast lots to determine who it could be. The lot fell on Jonah who admitted his guilt and was cast into the sea which then calmed down. Meanwhile a big fish thought to be a whale swallowed up Jonah into its belly where he remained for three days and three nights. From the belly of the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord and was saved when the fish spat him out on the shore. He then understood he was destined to go to Nineveh as he had been commanded. The King and the people of Nineveh repented and were subsequently saved. The coin design of Jonah in the whale is inspired by the Chinese Yin Yang philosophy. Obverse:.
