Description
The 2016-W 1 oz Proof $50 American Gold Buffalo, struck in .9999 fine gold, stands out in the numismatic community with a mintage of 21,878. This coin is a significant part of the American Gold Buffalo series, which was initiated by the U.S. Mint in 2006, marking the eleventh year of the series. The coin continues to exhibit the revered design of James Earle Fraser from the 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel. On the obverse, it features a Native American profile, and the reverse displays an American buffalo, thought to be modeled after Black Diamond, a bison that lived in New York's Central Park Zoo. The proof version of the coin is identified by the 'W' mint mark from the West Point Mint, and it is presented in its original mint packaging, including a box and a Certificate of Authenticity. The 2016-W Gold Buffalo is highly valued by collectors and investors for its fine craftsmanship, historical importance, and its moderately limited mintage.
