How does the U.S. Mint make proof coins look so distinct? Well, take this guy for example! 🦬✨
Despite being a modern issue, this 2008-W $10 Gold American Buffalo is highly sought after by coin and bullion collectors alike; not only for its "First Day of Issue" designation, but for its stunning appearance as well.
Proof coins are struck multiple times using polished dies and specially prepared planchets, giving them those mirror-like fields and frosted devices that we love looking at so much.
And the cherry on top? This beauty earned a perfect "PR 70 Deep Cameo" grade from ANACS, which is the highest grade a proof coin can receive! 😍
Containing 1/4 ounce of .9999 fine gold and featuring James Earle Fraser's iconic 1913 Buffalo Nickel design, this piece is a wonderful blend of artistry, craftsmanship, and precious metal.
So whether you're a gold stacker, a Buffalo enthusiast, or simply appreciate gorgeous coinage, this little beauty might just be calling your name!
