Owner Comments:

Am I saving the best for last? No way! It's the late, great 68. With razor-sharp detail and a ghostly, almost reverse proof appearance; this coin is simply amazing! This Type 2 Brilliant boasts a solid strike and a rich, subdued, lavender patina. Just as the first Buffalo of the set met the golden, early colors of dawn; this bison seemingly stands majestic in the early light of a blue moon on the darkened plains. But, the sun will never set on these rare Buffalos of American history. They are unique tributes to a bygone era and they will be appreciated by seasoned numismatists and wide-eyed children for many years to come.
