The 2018-W 1 oz Proof $50 American Gold Buffalo, minted in .9999 fine gold, is a distinguished coin in the numismatic community with a mintage of 15,500. This coin is an integral part of the American Gold Buffalo series, launched by the U.S. Mint in 2006, representing the thirteenth year of the series. It upholds the celebrated design by James Earle Fraser from the 1913 Type I Buffalo nickel, featuring the obverse with a Native American profile and the reverse depicting an American buffalo, believed to be based on Black Diamond, a bison that was housed in the Central Park Zoo. The proof coin, identifiable by the 'W' mint mark from the West Point Mint, is offered in its original mint packaging, including a box and a Certificate of Authenticity. The 2018-W Gold Buffalo is particularly valued by collectors and investors for its artistic design, historical roots, and its limited mintage.
