2012 1 oz Gold Buffalo MS-70 PCGS (Black Diamond)
The 2012 American Buffalo gold coin stands as a remarkable tribute to classic American numismatic art. Struck in one troy ounce of highly pure 0.9999 fine gold, this fifty-dollar denomination coin carries the full backing of the United States government. With a limited mintage of 100,000 pieces, the issue represents a perfect marriage of precious metal purity and historic design. The obverse displays a powerful profile portrait of a Native American, originally created by the celebrated sculptor James Earle Fraser. This side also features the inscription LIBERTY and the year 2012, celebrating the enduring legacy of early twentieth-century American coinage. On the reverse, a majestic American bison stands in profile, a design adapted from the historic Buffalo Nickel. The imposing animal depicted on the coin is widely believed to be modeled after Black Diamond, a famous buffalo of the era. This side is inscribed with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the coin's weight, purity, and face value of $50.
