# 2006-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz First Strike Gold Coin PCGS PR70 DCAM. An exceptional pristine proof specimen of the inaugural American Buffalo gold coin series, this 2006-W Gold Buffalo represents the pinnacle of modern American numismatic artistry. Struck at the West Point Mint with extraordinary precision, this *First Strike* example showcases James Earle Fraser's iconic Native American portrait design in flawless deep cameo brilliance. Graded a perfect PCGS PR70 DCAM, this coin represents the absolute zenith of strike quality and preservation. With a remarkably low population of just 521 coins at this grade level, this specimen is a true numismatic treasure. The coin features 99.99% pure gold in a substantial 1-ounce format, meticulously crafted with exceptional detail and mirror-like surfaces that highlight the intricate design elements. The First Strike designation adds significant collector premium, confirming this piece was among the earliest examples struck during the 2006 production run. With a total mintage of 246,267 coins, this proof represents a significant milestone in the American Buffalo series' inaugural year. The West Point Mint mark and deep cameo contrast make this an extraordinary addition to any sophisticated gold coin collection.
