2016 W 1 oz $50 Proof Gold American Buffalo (w/Box & COA)

Step into modern U.S. coinage history with the 2016-W 1 oz Proof Gold American Buffalo, a stunning collectible struck from .9999 fine 24-karat gold. Produced at the West Point Mint, this coin comes in its original U.S. Mint packaging with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), ensuring its authenticity and preserving its proof-quality brilliance. Its mirror-like fields and frosted details elevate one of America’s most iconic coin designs into a masterpiece admired worldwide.

The American Buffalo Gold Coin was first introduced in 2006, becoming the first-ever 24-karat pure gold coin struck by the United States Mint. Its design revives James Earle Fraser’s 1913 Type I Buffalo Nickel, a classic of American coinage that symbolized the nation’s frontier spirit. The obverse features a composite portrait of Native American chiefs, while the reverse captures the powerful image of an American bison, modeled after Black Diamond, a buffalo once displayed at the Central Park Zoo in New York.

The Gold Buffalo program quickly rose in popularity for its unmatched purity, bold design, and government backing, making it a cornerstone for both investors and collectors
