Description
2017-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz, First Day Issue, NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2017-W American Buffalo proof represents one of the finest examples of this modern classic. Struck at the West Point Mint and designated as a First Day Issue, this one-ounce gold proof showcases the iconic buffalo reverse design that has captivated collectors since its introduction in 2006. The coin features James Earle Fraser's celebrated composition of a Native American profile on the obverse and an American buffalo on the reverse. NGC has certified this specimen at the remarkable grade of PF 70 Ultra Cameo (Certificate #626980), indicating flawless surfaces with exceptional contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and frosted design elements. The Ultra Cameo designation is particularly significant for proof gold coins, as it denotes the highest quality of finish and eye appeal. Coins achieving this elite grade represent the pinnacle of the mintage and are highly sought after by serious collectors. The 2017-W Proof Buffalo remains a cornerstone of modern American bullion proof collecting. First Day Issue designations add an additional layer of desirability to numismatic pieces, as they represent coins certified within the initial release period. This combination of perfect grade, premium finish, and FDI status makes this an outstanding example for the discerning collector.
