Bison, often referred to as American bison or buffalo, were once one of the most numerous large mammals in North America, with estimates of their population ranging from 30 to 60 million before European colonization. However, due to overhunting, habitat loss, and disease, their population dwindled to just a few hundred individuals by the late 19th century.

All of the 2023-W 1 oz Proof American Gold Buffalo Coins available here come to you in plastic slabs. PF70 coins have full, original mint luster and no detracting flaws. Ultra-cameo coins are proof specimens with strong, frosted designs and deeply-mirrored, clear fields. The Early Release designation means the coins were received for grading within 30 days of release by the mint.

Please note that each of the Proof American Gold Buffalos available in this listing comes with a unique label in the slab. The label included in the slab has a beautiful photograph of bison in the wilds of North America.

On the obverse of the 2023 Proof American Gold Buffalo, you will find an indigenous figure in right-profile relief. This figure was created in 1913 by James Earle Fraser and was developed through the combination of facial features from three different real-world indigenous figures.

The reverse side of 2023-W 1 oz Proof Gold Buffalos comes with a depiction of the American bison. Also created by Fraser, this visual shows a mighty bison in left-profile relief as it grazes on a mound of dirt and grass.
