Proof Gold Buffalos
Employing a distinct minting technique, proof coins stand apart from their bullion counterparts due to several key differences. The process commences with carefully prepared coin blanks, undergoing meticulous polishing to achieve a flawless, mirror-like finish, often requiring multiple rounds to eliminate any imperfections. Only after achieving this level of perfection are these planchets placed into the coin press to begin the striking phase. The dies utilized in creating proof coins undergo meticulous polishing and precise alignment to ensure the accurate depiction of intricate design elements.

The American Gold Buffalo Coin Design
Derived from James Earle Fraser's legendary Buffalo Nickel, the Proof Gold Buffalo coin exhibits the revered Indian Head on the obverse, a combination of portraits of three distinguished Native American chiefs. On the reverse, it showcases a buffalo reminiscent of Black Diamond, a prominent resident of Central Park Zoo in the early 1900s. This coin revitalizes a timeless design with refined intricacies, appealing to collectors seeking a convergence of aesthetics and enduring value.
