Description
2018-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz, FDI 1ST Strike. This exceptional example represents the finest quality of modern American bullion coinage. The 2018-W Proof American Buffalo in one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold exhibits the superior finish and striking characteristics that distinguish West Point Mint proofs from their bullion counterparts. The reverse displays James Earle Fraser's iconic American Buffalo design, while the obverse features a profile of an American Indian, both rendered with extraordinary detail and clarity. Certified by NGC as a perfect Proof 70, this coin achieved the highest possible grade, indicating flawless surfaces and exceptional eye appeal. The FDI (First Day of Issue) designation further enhances the desirability of this piece, confirming it was among the earliest examples released in 2018. The certificate number 675284 provides complete authentication and documentation of this remarkable specimen. As part of the modern gold proof program, this Buffalo remains highly sought by collectors focused on contemporary American gold coinage and perfect specimens. The combination of a perfect grade, early release status, and the enduring popularity of the Buffalo design makes this an outstanding addition to any serious gold collection.
