The story behind 2006-W 1 oz Proof Gold Buffalo (w/Box & COA)
The American Buffalo gold program began in 2006. James Earle Fraser’s 1913 Buffalo nickel supplied its Native American portrait and bison imagery, bringing a familiar circulating-coin design into 24-karat gold. This gold program is separate from the 2001 silver Buffalo commemorative and private Buffalo-design rounds.
What distinguishes this offering
The proof finish is a collecting distinction. It should be compared with the same issue in proof, with matching packaging, rather than with a bullion version selected only for metal weight.

Frequently asked questions
What presentation materials are included?
The product title specifies a box and Certificate of Authenticity. Retain them with the coin. A complete presentation should be compared with other complete examples, rather than with a loose coin.
Is proof the same as a perfect grade?
No. Proof describes a method of manufacture and finish. A numerical grade, when explicitly supplied, is a separate assessment of condition.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
