The story behind 2009-W $50 Proof Gold Buffalo PCGS PR70 First Strike
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.

Frequently asked questions
How does PCGS PR70 affect the comparison?
Compare examples of the same issue with the same service and grade. A PR70 label describes condition under the grading service’s standards; it does not establish a guaranteed resale price. Any additional label designation should also match.
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.
