The Proof American Gold Buffalo coin was first issued in 2006 alongside the release of its apr57 counterpart. The US Mint originally offered the proof coin in 2006 and 2007 in just 1 oz gold, but for 2008 the series was expanded to include a oz, oz, and 1/10 oz coin. The onset of the Great Recession in 2008 did not put a stop to 2009 production of the Proof Gold Buffalo, but it did end the fractional weights, which have never been offered again.

In this product listing you are purchasing a 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin from APR 57 guaranteed to have a Proof 69 grade. However, we cannot guarantee the year of issue or the label associated with your coin. Available years of issue include 2006-present, and possible labels include examples such as First Strike or Deep-Cameo.

First Strike is for coins received for grading within the original 30-day period following their release, and is denoted with an FS mark. Deep-cameo proof coins have strong, frosted designs overlaying deeply-mirrored, clear background fields. This is denoted by a DCAM mark.

On the obverse of all 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins is the image of a Native American chieftain. Created in 1913 by James Earle Fraser, this image first appeared on the Buffalo Nickel until 1938. The reverse of the Gold Buffalo has an American bison which was inspired by Black Diamond, a bison at the Central Park Zoo in New York City during the early 20^th century.

These 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo coins are certified Proof 69 by the PCGS or NGC. Considered near-perfect coins, youll notice full, original mint luster with a possible maximum of two minor detracting flaws. These flaws are limited to minuscule hairlines or contact marks.
