Description

• Product Overview:

  • Purity: Contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, the highest purity for U.S. gold coins.
  • Legal Tender: Has a face value of $50 (USD), minted by the United States Mint.
  • Grading: Certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) with a grade of Proof 69 (PF69), indicating the coin is nearly perfect with only one or two minor flaws visible under close examination, not detracting from its overall appearance.

  Design:

  • Obverse: Inspired by James Earle Fraser‘s design for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel, it features the profile of a Native American chief, believed to be a composite of several Native American leaders. Inscriptions include “LIBERTY” and “20XX” (where “XX” represents the year of issue).
  • Reverse: Depicts the American Bison, or “buffalo,” standing on a mound. The inscriptions read “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD,” and “$50.”

  Special Features:

  • Proof Quality: Proof coins are produced with a high-quality finish, involving multiple strikes with specially polished dies, giving the coin a mirrored background and frosted design elements.
  • Certification: Encapsulated in an NGC holder, ensuring the coin’s condition is preserved. A grade of PF69 signifies an almost perfect coin, appealing to collectors who seek high-quality specimens.

  Investment & Collectibility:

  • Investment: The American Gold Buffalo is popular among gold investors due to its pure gold content and status as legal tender from the U.S. Mint.
  • Collectibility: The Proof 69 grade adds significant value for collectors, as it represents one of the highest grades achievable, only surpassed by a perfect 70. Collectors prize these coins for their beauty, rarity in such high grades, and the iconic design.

  This 1 OZ American Gold Buffalo in NGC Proof 69 condition combines the allure of nearly perfect craftsmanship with the intrinsic value of gold, making it a stellar choice for both collectors and investors looking to enhance their portfolios with a piece of American numismatic art.
