2023 NGC MS-70 Early Release 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Coin

American gold buffalos. While most gold coins available in the bullion market are 22k, American Gold Buffalos are 24-karat gold coins. Minted for the first time in 2006, it was also the first time the US Mint fabricated a 99.99% pure gold coin.

The US Mint was already famous for the American Eagles Series, but a 24k gold coin combined with a popular motif made Gold Buffalos another success for the Mint.

The NGC evaluates and grades coins following the Sheldon Grading Scale, which attributes classification to coins according to their condition and authenticity.

The 2023 MS-70 Early Release Gold Buffalos are coins struck in the first 30 days of production, taken to the NGC’s accreditation to provide investors and collectors the necessary reliability for their purchase.
