2017-W 1 oz $50 Proof Gold American Buffalo (w/Box & COA)

As a part of the first United States legal tender coin series produced from 24 Karat gold, this thrilling 2017-W 1 oz $50 Proof Gold American Buffalo is a highly anticipated collectible in the industry market, due to its iconic 1913 Buffalo Nickel design and high intrinsic value.

The first American Gold Buffalo Coins were issued on June 22, 2006, being the first gold bullion coins in the United States to contain .9999 (24K) fine gold, backed by the United States Government. This stunning coin series was released as an alternative for the world-famous South African Gold Krugerrands, as well as the later issued Canadian Gold Maple Leafs. The rapid increase in the coin’s intrinsic value, along with its historical design, made it one of the bestsellers on the bullion market.

The Gold Buffalo Coin is a rendition of the famous 1913 Buffalo Nickel coin, designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s student - James Earl Fraser. An incredibly detailed portrait of a Native American is displayed on the obverse side of the coin while the reverse showcases the magnificent American Bison, drawn based on the Black Diamond bison which lived in the early 1900s.

This astounding proof coin is struck multiple times using special dyes to give it a wonderful mirror-like appearance which confers the coin a luxurious feel and look. Offered in a splendid presentation box with a Certificate of Authenticity, this exceptional 2017-W 1 oz $50 Proof Gold American Buffalo is an exquisite addition and a superb collectible for any passionate numismatist.
