Description
2015-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz FS Bison Label. This exceptional 2015-W Proof Gold Buffalo represents the finest quality achievable in this popular modern gold series. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded PCGS PR70, this coin achieves a perfect numerical grade, indicating flawless surfaces with no imperfections visible to the naked eye or under magnification. The *First Strike* designation confirms this coin was among the earliest examples certified from the initial release. The American Buffalo Proof Gold series, introduced in 2006, has become one of the most sought-after modern bullion-related products from the United States Mint. Each coin contains one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold and features James Earle Fraser's iconic design—the American Indian obverse and the American Bison reverse—originally created for the 1913 Type I nickel. The 2015 date represents a key year within the series, with relatively modest mintage figures that have contributed to collector demand. A PR70 example with the coveted *First Strike* designation is exceptionally scarce, as most examples are encountered in lower grades. This coin represents the absolute peak of quality for the date and represents a significant holding for the serious gold collector or investor focused on modern numismatic rarities.
