Each of these stunning gold coins was struck by the United States Mint in reverse proof. This type of striking lends a strong, frosted appearance to the background field of the coin, which is offset brilliantly by the clear, mirrored finish of the design features.
The 2013-W 1 oz Reverse Proof American Gold Buffalo Coin was struck as such by the US Mint to celebrate 100 years of the Buffalo Nickel design. Fraser’s iconic creation first hit circulation on the five-cent piece in 1913, and remained there until it was replaced in 1939..
Both designs on the American Gold Buffalo were created in 1913 by James Earle Fraser for the nation’s five-cent piece, which became known as the Buffalo Nickel. Fraser, a native of Winona, Minnesota, grew up in the American Midwest and Plains and used his early childhood experiences as influence for his design of the Buffalo Nickel.
