2013 West Point (W) Gold Buffalo Reverse Proof (PF)70 NGC Brown Label

The United States Mint chose one of it’s most beloved designs, the American Buffalo, sculpted by James Earle Fraser, (student of the legendary sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens), to celebrate the 100 year milestone of the American Buffalo Design this year by creating the first ever Gold Reverse Proof American Buffalo.

Reverse Proof Gold Buffalo $50 Coin

By reversing the mirror-like background finish of the traditional proof coin and applying it instead to the design elements of the coin, a magnificent visual contrast is achieved against the uniquely frosted background. This anniversary edition captures the beauty of coin design and the modernization of coin production over the last 100 years in one magnificent showpiece.
