NYCBullion proudly offers the 2016 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Proof, a premier release from the West Point Mint that embodies both beauty and investment value. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine (24K) gold, this coin offers unmatched purity and a striking proof finish that highlights every detail of its iconic design. This limited-edition collectible is a must-have for anyone looking to enrich their collection with a piece of enduring American heritage.

Each coin arrives encased in an elegant brown leatherette U.S. Mint presentation box, complete with a gold-stamped buffalo insert and an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The 2016 Proof Gold Buffalo stands as a remarkable symbol of strength, artistry, and the enduring legacy of the American West.


Historic Design with New-World Precision

The Gold American Buffalo series was first launched in 2006 and quickly gained favor among investors and collectors for its 24-karat purity and vintage-inspired design. The 2016 release continues this legacy, showcasing James Earle Fraser’s beloved Buffalo Nickel artwork—featuring a powerful Native American portrait and the American Bison, believed to be modeled after Black Diamond from the Central Park Zoo.
