Description
The 2009-W 1 oz Proof $50 American Gold Buffalo, made of .9999 fine gold, stands out in the numismatic world with a mintage of 49,388. This coin is part of the American Gold Buffalo series, initiated by the U.S. Mint in 2006, and represents the fourth year of issue for this series. It features the revered designs of James Earle Fraser from the 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel. The obverse of the coin displays a Native American profile, and the reverse showcases an American buffalo, believed to be based on Black Diamond, a bison that lived in the Central Park Zoo in the early 20th century. The proof coin is identified by the 'W' mint mark from the West Point Mint and is presented in its original mint packaging, including a box and a Certificate of Authenticity. The 2009-W Gold Buffalo is particularly valued by collectors and investors for its artistic merit, historical relevance, and its relatively limited mintage.
