2006 1 oz Proof American Buffalo Gold Coin Boxed

2006 gold proof 1oz Buffalo in a very handsome navy blue box and with certificate. As with all US gold coins, this coin was minted at the West Point Mint. Unlike the bullion Gold Buffalo 1oz coins however, the proof versions carry the “W” mint mark on the obverse of the coin, just to the left of the year.

This contains exactly 1oz of pure 999.9 Gold.

From 1837 until 1986, the United States Mint had not struck a gold coin with a metal content greater than .900. Beginning in 1833, the US moved away from the so-called crown gold alloy content (22-karat gold) and struck its last gold coin with such purity by 1837. It wasn’t until the introduction of the American Gold Eagle in 1986 that the US broke that mold and struck a 22-karat gold coin again.
