Both faces reproduce the artwork Fraser created for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel, a design still ranked among the finest ever struck on American coinage. The obverse presents a right-facing portrait of a Native American chief, feathers trailing behind his braided hair, with LIBERTY along the upper rim and the date at the truncation of the neck. The reverse shows an American bison, modeled on Black Diamond of the Bronx Zoo, standing on raised ground with its shaggy hump and shoulders struck in dense, textured relief, framed by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and $50 1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.
An MS70 designation means NGC’s graders found the coin flawless, full strike, no marks, no distractions, the ceiling of the grading scale. Each coin measures 32.7 mm in diameter and about 2.95 mm thick, and arrives sonically sealed in an NGC holder with a certification number verifiable through NGC’s online registry. Dates and label styles vary and may include standard brown labels, Early Releases, or First Releases inserts; whichever you receive is guaranteed to meet the stated MS70 grade.
A perfect grade on pure 24-karat American gold puts this coin at the top of what the series offers. Order your NGC MS70 Gold Buffalo from Hero Bullion today and add a flawless ounce to your holdings.
