The 2024-W Proof Gold Buffalo continues the U.S. Mint's legacy of issuing high-purity, low-mintage gold coins that celebrate iconic American design. Struck at the West Point Mint in .9999 fine gold, this proof edition of the Gold Buffalo features the timeless James Earle Fraser imagery from the 1913 Type I Buffalo Nickel. Its frosted design details and mirror-like fields offer an elegant contrast that showcases the exceptional craftsmanship behind every coin.
