Description
2017-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2017-W Proof American Gold Buffalo represents the pinnacle of modern U.S. bullion coinage artistry. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo (Certificate #626980), this one-ounce gold proof displays the flawless execution and mirror fields characteristic of the finest examples from this iconic series. The American Gold Buffalo, first introduced in 2006, continues the tradition of the historic Buffalo nickel design. This proof version features James Earle Fraser's celebrated obverse portrait of a Native American and his reverse design of an American bison, both rendered with exceptional detail and contrast. The Ultra Cameo designation indicates particularly strong frosted devices against deeply mirrored fields, a hallmark of superior proof striking quality. As a PF70 specimen, this coin exhibits no visible imperfections under magnification and represents the highest standard of preservation. The 2017-W Proof Gold Buffalo remains a sought-after issue for both gold investors and design enthusiasts, combining precious metal content with numismatic artistry. This outstanding example exemplifies why the Buffalo remains one of the most beloved designs in modern American coinage.
