2017-W Buffalo Gold $50 (Edmund C. Moy - 38th Director US Mint - Authentic Hand-Signed) NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo

PF70 Ultra Cameo is the highest grade NGC awards to a proof coin. PF70 indicates a perfectly struck coin with no post-production flaws under magnification, while Ultra Cameo describes the sharp, frosted devices contrasting against deeply mirrored fields — the hallmark of a top-tier U.S. proof issue.

The 2017-W Gold Buffalo contains one full troy ounce of 0.9999 fine gold, the highest purity standard used by the U.S. Mint. The coin carries a $50 face value as legal tender of the United States.

Both the obverse and reverse reproduce sculptor James Earle Fraser's designs from the 1913 Buffalo Nickel. The obverse shows a composite portrait of a Native American chief, and the reverse depicts an American bison on a mound — among the most recognized and celebrated designs in U.S. numismatic history.
