The coin being described is a 2008 $50 Gold Buffalo, part of the prestigious series of Gold Buffaloes and Gold High Reliefs produced by the United States Mint. This particular coin is distinguished by its proof finish, which enhances its visual appeal with a mirror-like surface and sharp details, making it a favorite among collectors and investors alike. Struck in 99.99% pure gold, the coin displays a stunning depiction of a buffalo, a classic symbol of American heritage, on its reverse side, while the obverse features a profile of a Native American. This coin has a diameter of 32.7 mm and a total mintage of just 18,863 pieces, contributing to its rarity and desirability in the market. The lack of a mint mark indicates that it was produced at Philadelphia, though this specific coin does not have an identifiable mint location. Although the provided properties for weight, width, height, and edge type are noted as "0.00000000" or "N/A," the coin's significant features lie in its purity, historical value, and limited mintage. As an investment, the $50 Gold Buffalo coin represents both a secure store of value and an artistic tribute to American culture, making it a rewarding addition to any coin collection.
