Intaglio Mint 1-oz Silver Wild West Legends Buffalo Bill Medal BU

The “Wild West” Legend of Buffalo Bill Rides Again!

William Cody wasn’t always the star of the world’s most popular Wild West show, an exciting spectacle that toured across America and Europe for more than 30 years. Before he gamed fame for his showmanship, he was a Pony Express rider, fought in the Civil War, and served as a U.S. Army scout, who, at the Battle of Warbonnet Creek in 1876, “took the first scalp for Custer.” It was in the years following the Civil War that he acquired his nickname while employed by the Kansas Pacific Railroad providing buffalo meat for hungry workers. And provide it he did, killing 4,282 buffalo in an 18-month span from 1867 and 1868, thus earning the nickname everyone knows today: “Buffalo Bill.”

Now you can capture the legend of Buffalo Bill with this commemorative round released by the highly respected Intaglio Mint as part of its Wild West Legends series. Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this silver dollar-sized round features a portrait of a young mustachioed William F. Cody below the legend that reads “BUFFALO BILL” in Western type curved along the circumference. The medal’s reverse shows a logo composed of many iconic Old West images including a sheriff’s badge wrapped with a cowboy’s rope, a horned bull skull, six-shooters and a pair of horseshoes. In addition, the Intaglio Mint One-Ounce Silver Buffalo Bill Medals available in this offer come in Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, meaning that each piece is the product of a superb strike that places it firmly among the elite of the run.

Like no one else, William Frederick Cody embodied the spirit of the West. In fact, it was through his traveling shows that the term “Wild West” was born. In addition to his exciting shows, Buffalo Bill gained a level of fame that could be compared to that of Elvis Presley of the 1950s, The Beatles of the 1960s, and Michael Jackson of the 1980s. The media of the era in the form of dime novels and magazines combined with his genius for marketing and advertising effectively exploited the myths about Buffalo Bill and his version of the Wild West making him arguably the most famous man in the world during his lifetime.
