The 2012 version of the U.S. Mint's renowned 1-ounce Proof Gold Buffalo presents a blend of storied history and exquisite craftsmanship. This iconic gold piece draws collectors and investors alike, featuring stunning detail and impeccable quality courtesy of its 'W' mint mark from the esteemed West Point Mint. What sets this piece apart is not just its inherent value in .9999 fine gold, but also its embodiment of American heritage through the revered design originally introduced by James Earle Fraser in 1913.

This exquisite Gold Buffalo captures attention with its intricate depiction of a proud Indigenous leader on one side and the majestic American bison on the other, reflecting a time-honored narrative deeply entrenched in American numismatic history. Its proof finish further enhances its visual appeal, offering a mirror-like background that sharply contrasts with the frosted designs, making it a standout addition to any collection.

My overall experience has been excellent. Great communication from the start. They let you know the status of your order in a timely manner. Quick shipment after payment clears. Excellent packaging. The fact that Bullion Standard sends a link to confirm whether I've received my product is also remarkable. You can tell they care about the customer, and are trustworthy and reliable, 10/10, would shop again (already have).

I always buy from momentum metals and jam bullion but decided to give you a chance. The coins were sub par and the gold coin was not to my liking
