Description

2011-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz Red Book, NGC PF70. This exceptional 2011-W American Buffalo Proof represents the pinnacle of modern U.S. Mint gold coinage. Struck at the West Point Mint, this one-ounce gold proof showcases James Earle Fraser's iconic buffalo design, originally introduced on the reverse of the Buffalo nickel from 1913-1938. The obverse features a profile of a Native American, completing one of the most beloved and artistically significant designs in American numismatic history. Graded NGC PF70, this specimen achieves the highest numerical grade assigned by Numismatic Guaranty Company, indicating flawless strike and finish. The perfect grade reflects pristine reflective fields and sharply detailed reverse and obverse imagery, with no visible imperfections even under magnification. The "Red Book" designation indicates this coin was part of the special presentation packaging and documentation that accompanied early American Buffalo proof issues. The 2011-W Proof Buffalo represents a key date in the American Buffalo proof series, which began in 2006. These West Point Mint proofs are highly sought by both gold bullion investors and serious collectors of modern U.S. Mint commemorative issues. The combination of perfect certification and the gold content make this an outstanding example for advanced collections. NGC Certification Number: 506885
