2015 1 OZ American Gold Buffalo Ultra Cameo Proof PF-70 NGC

In 2006, the United States Mint began striking the first 24-karat Gold Proof coin ever struck. These coins are collector versions of the American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coins which were introduced at the same time. Each coin contains one ounce of .9999 fine, 24-karat gold. The 2015 Gold Buffalo Proof is not only on pace to be the rarest Buffalo Proof in the entire Series, but also the rarest in PF-70 condition as well. Rarity by mintage and condition are the two most important factors in any coin’s value. The only other examples of any Modern Issue coins meeting both criteria : • 1995-W $1 Silver Eagle Proof 70 - Value : $25,000 (Rarest Silver Eagle) • 1988 $5 Gold Eagle MS-70 - Value : $8,000 (Rarest $5 Gold Eagle) Both of the above examples carry the highest premium and value in their respective Series. Given this unusual set of circumstances regarding the 2015 Buffalo Proof meeting both criteria of rarity, along with the fact that the Mint could shut down production any day, IPM is issuing a “strong buy” recommendation.
