The 2012 $50 Gold Buffalo 1 oz NGC MS-70 .9999 FINE Mike Castle Signature numismatic coin from the United States is a remarkable addition to any collection. With a total mintage of only 100,000 coins, this exquisite piece features the iconic image of the American Buffalo, or bison, on the obverse, and the familiar eagle design on the reverse.
What sets this coin apart is the exclusive Mike Castle Signature label, which honors the legacy of the former U.S. Representative from Delaware. Castle, known as the "Coinage Congressman," was instrumental in the creation of several modern coin programs, including the 50 State Quarters, the Sacagawea Dollar, the Presidential Dollar Series, the American Platinum Eagle, the America the Beautiful Quarters program, and numerous commemorative coins.
Castle's contributions to the coin collecting community had a transformative effect, as it is estimated that 150 million Americans, roughly half the country's population at the time, became casual coin collectors due to the 50 State Quarters program. This, in turn, propelled modern coin collecting to new heights and fostered a greater appreciation for the art and history behind these numismatic masterpieces.
The 2012 $50 Gold Buffalo 1 oz NGC MS-70 .9999 FINE Mike Castle Signature coin is a testament to Castle's enduring impact on the industry. With only 74 coins in existence bearing the Mike Castle US Flag Signature Label in MS 70 grade, as graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), this piece is a true collector's item and a must-have for any serious numismatist.
