Description
# 2006-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz PCGS PR70 DCAM. An exceptional example of the inaugural year proof Gold Buffalo, this 2006-W one-ounce gold coin represents a pinnacle of modern American numismatic artistry. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded a perfect PCGS PR70 Deep Cameo, this specimen embodies the highest standard of minting excellence. Designed by the renowned sculptor James Earle Fraser, this coin features the iconic Native American profile on the obverse and a majestic buffalo on the reverse - a design that pays homage to the classic *Buffalo Nickel* of the early 20th century. The Deep Cameo designation highlights the coin's extraordinary contrast between frosted devices and mirror-like fields, creating a stunning visual presentation. With a total population of just 6,973 coins graded at this perfect level, this 99.99% pure gold specimen is a true collector's treasure. The coin's technical specifications are impeccable: weighing 31.108 grams, measuring 32.7mm in diameter, and struck from a limited mintage of 246,267 pieces. Its PCGS certification #47794590 guarantees both its authenticity and exceptional state of preservation. A premier modern gold proof that represents both numismatic art and investment quality, this 2006-W Gold Buffalo offers collectors an opportunity to own a pristine example from the series' inaugural year. Its flawless preservation and historical significance make it a standout piece for sophisticated numismatists and precious metal enthusiasts alike.
