Each of the 2008 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Coins in this listing was struck as part of the bullion run of Gold Buffalo coins for the year. The coins are available to you in Brilliant Uncirculated condition with unique US Mint packaging that identifies the coins as part of the Celebration Series.

The Celebration Series was concocted by the US Mint to offer numismatic coins in specially designed boxes for gift-giving occasions. These 2008 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Celebration coins are presented inside of red United States Mint boxes with a gold oriental-themed border and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. The coins were released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2008 to coincide with the number “8” as it is a lucky number in Chinese culture. Additionally, the selection of a red box was no coincidence. It is tradition during Lunar New Year celebrations to give money to one another, often in red envelopes.

On the obverse of these 2008 American Gold Buffalo Coins is the image of a Native American. This figure marked the combination of facial features and characteristics from several different real-life tribal figures of the early 20th century and is captured in right-profile relief.

The reverse of 2008 1 oz American Gold Buffalo coins features an American bison in left-profile relief. The animal stands on a mound of dirt and was designed based on the appearance of Black Diamond, a resident bison in New York City’s Central Park Zoo in the early 20th century.

For the 2008 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Celebration Coin, the United States Mint diverted just 24,558 coins from the overall bullion collection for special packaging and presentation in the Celebration Series.

When you will receive your order depends primarily on three factors

  1. When we receive your payment (checks and wires must be initiated/sent by you).
    • Please note that you will receive a Paid email once your payment is received.
  2. Holding period after cleared payment.
    • Depending on your payment method, we will hold the order once payment is received and cleared. The hold periods by payment method are listed in checkout and in your confirmation email. Paper checks take the longest and are held up to five business days after payment clears.
  3. Shipping method and transit time.
    • UPS 3-Day Air is the fastest and most reliable method of shipping. These are usually delivered in 1-3 business days once in transit.
    • USPS is less consistent in both transit time and tracking accuracy.

All packages shipped by JM Bullion are covered by insurance subject to certain conditions. In the unlikely event that your order is Lost in Transit, you need to contact us immediately. Lost in Transit is defined for the USPS as tracking not having updated in 5 or more calendar days. For UPS, it is 3 calendar days. You must contact us within 7 days since last tracking for USPS and 3 days since last tracking for UPS. If you do not contact us by these timeframes, insurance will not cover the package.

Once you contact us, we research the shipment with the carrier and begin the claim process. The claims process can take 30 or more days to resolve, and many Lost in Transit shipments end up getting delivered late. If the package is delivered, you must notify us within 24 hours.

See also Section 13 of our Terms and Conditions.

Though unlikely, if your order is damaged during transit and/or any items are missing we require you to contact JM Bullion immediately so we can begin the claims process. If you have taken possession of a shipment that is damaged and/or is missing items, you have 2 days (48 hours) from the date of delivery to contact us as stated in our Terms and Conditions.

Orders under $1000 will not require a signature unless that option is selected and paid for at checkout. Orders over $1000 will always require a signature for delivery. Please note, per our Terms and Conditions, once a package shows delivered, our responsibility ends. Please be available and attentive to receive the package when the courier arrives. Due to COVID 19, couriers are not always getting the signature.

Please note that JM Bullion will not be responsible for reimbursements or insurance claims on packages that are successfully delivered as addressed. Our liability and insurance cease the moment the package is signed for or left at the specified delivery address.
