The 2019-W Proof Gold Buffalo showcases the U.S. Mint's dedication to purity, craftsmanship, and iconic American imagery. Struck at the West Point Mint in .9999 fine gold, this proof coin revives James Earle Fraser's revered Buffalo Nickel design with frosted reliefs and deep mirror-like fields—hallmarks of premium proof strikes.
Collector Insight:
The 2019-W edition continues to appeal to collectors who value high-purity gold, historical design, and limited-mintage coins. Its status as a modern proof issue enhances its long-term desirability among both investors and numismatists.
Mintage Note:
