A Legacy Honored: The American Gold Buffalo Series
The American Gold Buffalo series, first introduced in 2006, pays homage to the iconic "Buffalo Nickel" designed by James Earle Fraser in 1913. Fraser's original artwork features a stoic Native American profile on the obverse and a majestic American bison (often referred to as an American buffalo) on the reverse. These designs are renowned for their intricate detail and cultural significance, representing the spirit of the American frontier. Struck from 1 oz of .9999 fine gold, the Gold Buffalo coin stands as America's first 24-karat gold coin series. The "W" mint mark signifies its origin from the esteemed West Point Mint, known for producing high-quality proof coinage. This particular 2022 proof issue carries an additional layer of collector appeal, being certified with a special PCGS "AR Reagan Legacy Series Michael Reagan Picture" label, commemorating a unique aspect within the numismatic community.
