First-Year 2006 W Proof Gold Buffalo, Graded PF 70 Ultra Cameo
The 2006 proof gold buffalo NGC PF 70 is a 1 oz proof American Buffalo in .9999 fine gold from the series' first year, struck by the U.S. Mint with a W mint mark and certified by NGC as Proof 70 Ultra Cameo. It pairs the debut date of the U.S. Mint's first 24-karat gold coin with a perfect grade and deep contrast.
The Debut of 24-Karat U.S. Gold
2006 was the year the U.S. Mint first struck a coin in .9999 fine, or 24-karat, gold, and the American Buffalo was that coin. Its design comes from James Earle Fraser's Buffalo Nickel, with a Native American profile wearing braided hair and feathers on the obverse, marked LIBERTY and Fraser's F, and an American buffalo standing and facing left on the reverse. NGC's Ultra Cameo designation means the frosted portrait and bison contrast strongly with mirror fields, and PF 70 means no imperfections under 5x magnification.
