Struck at the West Point Mint, the 2010-W Proof Gold Buffalo contains 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold and showcases the U.S. Mint's exceptional commitment to artistry and purity. This proof coin is a continuation of the celebrated series first introduced in 2006, featuring James Earle Fraser's iconic 1913 Buffalo Nickel design with unmatched detail and contrast.
Collector Insight:
The 2010 issue follows the reinstatement of the 1 oz-only format for the proof Buffalo, after fractional denominations were discontinued post-2008. Its limited mintage and status as a U.S. Mint proof offering make it highly appealing to both investors and numismatic collectors.
Mintage Note:
Compared to bullion strikes, proof Gold Buffalos are produced in significantly lower numbers, enhancing their desirability. The 2010-W is part of a series that has become a cornerstone of modern American gold numismatics.
