2023 1 oz Gold Buffalo (MintDirect® Premier Single + PCGS FS)

Although the U.S. Mint does not sell its bullion coins directly to the public, it distributes its new releases to authorized purchasers, like APMEX, who sell the U.S. Mint coins to the public. This means that APMEX is one of the few companies able to get coins direct from the U.S. Mint and sell them to you.

In partnership with PCGS, a trusted name in numismatics, APMEX brings you further enhanced products thanks to the MintDirect® Premier program. This partnership with PCGS allows MintDirect® Premier with PCGS FirstStrike® 2023 Gold Buffalos in their sealed packaging to remain eligible for the FirstStrike® designation if submitted to PCGS for grading, even after new FirstStrike®-eligible coins are usually taken off the market.

Since each new year brings new dies, APMEX has designated all products delivered by the U.S. Mint in January that go through the MintDirect® process as MintDirect® Premier.

APMEX has partnered with PCGS to add the authenticity of the PCGS FirstStrike® designation to the MintDirect® Premier product. After reviewing and vetting the MintDirect® process, PCGS acknowledges these 2023 MintDirect® Premier Gold Buffalos as meeting their rigorous requirements for FirstStrike® eligibility if the coin is submitted for grading in their original sealed packaging.

After the process is completed, the coin in the tamper-evident package is removed from the machine and checked to ensure that the quality of the packaging meets our exacting standards.
