The Peace dollar is a United States dollar coin minted from 1921 to 1928, and again in 1934 and 1935. Designed by Anthony de Francisci. the Pittman Act in 1918, the United States Mint was required to strike millions of silver dollars, and began to do so in 1921, using the Morgan dollar design. Numismatists began to lobby the Mint to issue a coin that memorialized the peace following World War I; although they failed to get Congress to pass a bill requiring the redesign, they were able to persuade government officials to take action. The Peace dollar was approved by Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon in December 1921, completing the redesign of United States coinage that had begun in 1907.

Personally, I find Peace Dollars to be a cost efective way to purchase silver.

First issued in 1996, the
American Buffalo 24-karat gold coin became a very popular investment coin. One reason for its popularity was that It was the first American Gold coin made from 24-karat gold.
Congress thought that they could get the American public more educated on American history through the issuance of new coins.
Public Law 109-145, dated December 22, 2005, was the law that demanded the issuance of the new concept coins.
The American Buffalo Gold coin's obverse and reverse designs feature images originally prepared by noted American sculptor
James Earle Fraser, once a student of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, for America's 5-cent coin (nickel).
Each American Buffalo coin contains exactly
one troy ounce (or 31.1035 grams) of pure gold. Its diameter is 1.287 inches (or 32.70mm), with a thickness of 0.116 inches (or 2.95mm), making it approximately the same size as a U.S. half dollar coin.
The obverse side of the gold American Buffalo features the profile of a Native American man, while the reverse side features the silhouette of an American bison standing in profile, modeled after "Black Diamond," a popular attraction in the New York Zoological Gardens in the early part of the 20th century.
The Buffalo Nickel (first issued 1913), pictured below, is a favorite of collectors. See the 1918 date on this coin.
The American Buffalo 24-karat gold coin is absolutely Fantastic. Many collectors want it in a sealed slb graded 69 or 70 perfection.
