The 2022-W Proof Gold Buffalo showcases the enduring legacy of the U.S. Mint's premier 24-karat gold coin. Struck at the West Point Mint in .9999 fine gold, this coin features the iconic design of James Earle Fraser's 1913 Type I Buffalo Nickel—an American classic that comes to life in brilliant proof finish with sharp reliefs and mirrored fields.
Collector Insight:
The 2022-W issue remains a top choice for collectors seeking visual excellence, historical significance, and .9999 gold purity. Its low mintage, timeless design, and official U.S. Mint packaging make it a distinguished addition to any collection or portfolio.
Mintage Note:
As with all Proof Gold Buffalos, the 2022 edition was produced in significantly smaller numbers than bullion versions, enhancing its rarity and appeal in the secondary market.
