Description

# 2009-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz PCGS PR70 DCAM. A numismatic treasure from a uniquely limited year, this pristine 2009-W Proof Gold Buffalo represents a pinnacle of modern American coinage. Struck at the West Point Mint during an extraordinary production period, this coin stands as a testament to the challenging economic conditions of its era. Designed by the renowned James Earle Fraser, this perfect PCGS PR70 Deep Cameo specimen showcases the iconic Buffalo design in exceptional quality. Composed of .9999 fine gold and weighing a full 1 troy ounce, the coin represents the sole Gold Buffalo product released by the U.S. Mint in 2009. With a total population of just 5,065 coins graded at this supreme level, it embodies true numismatic rarity. The coin's provenance is particularly noteworthy. Due to significant planchet shortages, the U.S. Mint canceled all other Gold Buffalo coin products for 2009, making this $50 Proof Gold Buffalo the singular release in its category. Originally issued at $1,360, the coin was sold from October 29, 2009, through late March 2010, with a final mintage of approximately 49,306 pieces. Its perfect preservation and DCAM finish make it an exceptional addition to any advanced numismatic collection.
