Description

2011-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2011-W Proof Gold Buffalo represents one of the finest examples of this popular modern gold issue. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo (Certificate #506885), this coin achieves the highest possible grade designation, indicating flawless surfaces with exceptional contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and fully frosted devices. The American Buffalo gold proof series, which debuted in 2006, has become a cornerstone of modern U.S. bullion collecting. Each coin contains one troy ounce of .9999 fine gold and features James Earle Fraser's iconic buffalo design—the same artistic composition that graced the reverse of the Buffalo nickel (1913-1938). The 2011 date represents a popular year in the series, and specimens achieving the PF70 Ultra Cameo designation are particularly scarce, as they must exhibit pristine strike quality and superior optical characteristics. This coin represents both a significant bullion holding and a numismatic treasure for the advanced collector seeking museum-quality modern gold issues. The perfect grade and ultra cameo designation make this an outstanding addition to any gold proof collection.
