America’s first-ever 24-karat gold coin celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2016, and now is your chance to capture one of these brilliant products in perfect condition as a proof specimen. The American Gold Buffalo debuted in 2006, and at the time was the only 24-karat gold product from the US Mint. Today, the 2016 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin is available to you with special certification and designation from the PCGS.
Coin Highlights:
Each 2016 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo in this product listing earned a perfect proof grade from the PCGS. Coins with a PR70 grade exhibit full, original mint luster and lack all detracting flaws on the surfaces.
First Strike coins are those received within the first 30 days of the release date as set by the United States Mint. Additionally, these 2016 Proof American Gold Buffalo coins have a DCAM finish. This indicates a proof coin with a strong, frosted finish on the design set overlaying a deeply-mirrored, clear background field.
James Earle Fraser’s classic Buffalo Nickel design from 1913 was chosen as the inspiration for the country’s first-ever 24-karat gold coin. The American Gold Buffalo debuted in 2006, making these 2016 coins part of the 10th anniversary.
On the obverse you’ll find Fraser’s right-profile portrait of a Native American leader, along with the engraving of “Liberty” and the year of issue for the coin. The reverse of the 2016 1 oz. Proof American Gold Buffalo features a depiction of Black Diamond, a resident bison from the Central Park Zoo in New York City that served as inspiration for Fraser’s design.
