Struck at the West Point Mint with a limited mintage of just 49,306 pieces, this coin is a testament to the challenging production year of 2009. Designed by the renowned James Earle Fraser, this one-ounce .9999 fine gold proof showcases the iconic Native American profile and buffalo motif in stunning deep cameo relief. Graded a perfect PCGS PR70 DCAM with certificate #44649548, this specimen represents the absolute pinnacle of strike quality and preservation. With only 5,064 examples achieving this elite certification, it stands as a true numismatic treasure. The 2009 Gold Buffalo has a unique historical context, being the sole gold Buffalo coin produced that year due to significant planchet supply challenges. The U.S. Mint canceled all other Gold Buffalo coin products, making this issue particularly scarce. Originally retailing at $1,360, the coin has appreciated significantly, with current price guide values approaching $4,043.
