2006-W $50 Proof Gold Buffalo NGC PF70
The Buffalo Nickel series, which ran from 1913 to 1938, was a huge hit with collectors. It was such a great hit that the US Mint decided to go with the same Indian Head (obverse) and Buffalo (reverse) designs in 2006. This is when they issued the first .9999 fine 1 oz. gold bullion coins in US Mint history – $50 Gold Buffalos!
The Proof American Gold Buffalo listed here forms part of that first issue of 1 oz. Gold Buffalos. This historical, collector issue proof coin bears frosted devices and mirror-like background areas – leaving a coin of breathtaking beauty, especially in .9999 gold. This gold coin also bears the “W” Mint mark of West Point, a US Mint facility that is at the forefront when it comes to producing collector issue gold coins of a high quality.
This .9999 2006-W Gold Buffalo was from the very beginning directly available for sale to the public. This is unlike regular bullion or business strike Gold Buffalos that were initially only available from US Mint authorized dealers.
