American Buffalo proof 2016, 1 oz gold 2016-W Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin: 10th Anniversary Edition Celebrating a decade of excellence, the 2016-W Proof American Gold Buffalo is a landmark issue. It stands as the only 24-karat gold proof coin minted by the United States, representing the collector pinnacle of the iconic bullion series. This coin immortalizes one of America's most beloved numismatic designs, originally created by sculptor James Earle Fraser for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel. Inspired by real-life encounters—using a bison named Black Diamond as a model and composite portraits of Native American chiefs—Fraser’s art captures the enduring spirit of the American frontier. The "F" minted on the coin pays direct homage to the artist. Struck at the West Point Mint ("W" mint mark) in .9999 fine gold, this proof coin features deeply mirrored fields and exquisitely frosted, high-relief designs. The obverse portrays a noble Native American profile, while the reverse showcases the majestic American bison. Each coin is presented in proof condition, sealed in an airtight capsule, and accompanied by a display box and Certificate of Authenticity. Combining historic artistry with the highest purity of American gold, this 10th-anniversary proof is a centerpiece for any collection, honoring a timeless legacy
