USA – 2013 – 50 Dollars – American Buffalo – Gold – Reverse Proof – NGC PF70 – Cert 4951198-017

The 2013 US American Buffalo 50 Dollar gold coin is among the most sought-after modern US gold issues in the series and is a particularly striking collector’s item in its reverse proof version. This special edition was minted by the United States Mint at West Point and released to commemorate the 100th anniversary of James Earle Fraser’s classic Buffalo nickel design. Characteristic of the reverse proof are the frosted surfaces and reflective elements, which give the time-honored Buffalo motif a particularly high-contrast and sophisticated appearance.

This particular example has been graded PF70 Reverse Proof by NGC, certifying it as being in the highest possible numerical condition for this issue. Furthermore, the slab bears the Don Everhart Signed Label . Don Everhart is identified on the label as a former US Mint Lead Sculptor , adding further collector appeal to this already strong issue. The certification number is 4951198-017 .

The American Buffalo is the first regular US bullion coin series in .9999 fine gold , thus combining classic American motif tradition with modern fine gold minting. The 2013 reverse-proof edition stands out within the series, as it was released as a special anniversary edition and therefore clearly distinguishes itself from the regular series both thematically and visually.
