Description

# 2009-W Proof Gold Buffalo - PCGS PR70 DCAM - Low Mintage Rarity. A stunning gem proof example of the rare 2009-W $50 Gold Buffalo, certified in perfect *PCGS PR70 Deep Cameo* condition. This exceptional specimen represents a pivotal moment in modern U.S. Mint gold coinage, highlighting the challenging production year of 2009. The coin features the iconic James Earle Fraser design, struck at the West Point Mint with impeccable precision. Composed of .9999 fine gold and weighing a full troy ounce (31.11g), this proof represents an extraordinary collector's piece. With a remarkably low mintage of just 49,306 coins, the 2009-W Gold Buffalo is one of the scarcest modern gold issues, particularly in top-tier preservation. Notably, this coin was the sole Gold Buffalo product produced by the U.S. Mint in 2009 due to significant planchet supply challenges. Production commenced on October 29, 2009, and concluded by late March 2010, further enhancing its historical significance. The PCGS population of 5,064 underscores its collectible status, with this PR70 DCAM representing the pinnacle of numismatic quality.
