Free Bullion Investment Guide
Thanks You for Visiting!

My name is Steven Warrenfeltz, and I created the this guide for those who are looking for honest information about investing in precious metals bullion.

The other side of this guide is my way of fulfilling a promise to a childhood friend who died of cancer.

That promise was to do whatever I could to support those who are Battling Cancer (researchers/patients), and in doing so, try to help rid the world of this horrible disease.

The guide is my effort to make a bigger impact against the disease by combining what I love, 'investing,' while fulfilling a promise.

The Free Bullion Investment Guide has three missions:

The 1st mission is to be an Honest place on the web that provides you with the Best Bullion Market Reference Material.

The 2nd mission is to be an Advocate for Gold Nanoparticle Cancer Research.

The 3rd mission is to Support those who are Battling Cancer through The Angel of Healing Cancer Fund.

James Earle Fraser, the designer of the obverse side, said he created the design by mixing the features of three Great Indian Chiefs from different American Indian tribes.

The three Indian Chiefs were Big Tree (Kiowa Indians), Iron Tail (Sioux Indians), and Two Moons (Cheyenne Indians), all who posed as models, for him to sketch.

"LIBERTY" is inscribed along the top perimeter of the bullion coin.

This side of the coin also displays the gold coin's 'Year of Issue,' which is located in the Indian's shoulder above the letter 'F' which is the last initial for James Earle Fraser.

The Buffalo Gold Bullion Coin has no Mint Mark.
