At 1\/4 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold — the highest purity standard in American coinage history — this coin combines the timeless artistry of James Earle Fraser's iconic Buffalo Nickel design with the prestige of the Gold Buffalo program, the first 24-karat gold coins ever struck by the United States Mint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Distinctive Burnished Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe burnished (uncirculated) finish sets this coin apart from the standard proof issues in the Gold Buffalo line. Rather than the deep mirrored fields of proof coinage, burnished Gold Buffalos display a distinctive satin-like texture across the entire surface, lending a warm, glowing quality to Fraser's masterful depiction of a Native American chief on the obverse and an American Bison on the reverse — both original designs from the 1913 Buffalo Nickel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Modern Numismatic Masterpieces Distinction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertified MS70 by PCGS — a perfect grade indicating no post-production flaws of any kind — this example is one of a select few to achieve the pinnacle grade from the nation's most respected third-party grading service.
