2001-D American Buffalo Commemorative Silver Dollar PCGS MS70 JEF Wet Sig Lbl
This 2001-D Buffalo Silver Dollar is a terrific modern commemorative that pairs one of America's most beloved classic coin designs with flawless certified preservation. Struck at Denver and graded a perfect MS70 by PCGS, this piece features James Earle Fraser's iconic Native American portrait and bison motif revived for the 2001 National Museum of the American Indian commemorative program. The coin in the photos shows bright original brilliance, a satiny-to-reflective look, and notably sharp design detail that gives the piece a very clean, premium presentation. The Fraser signature label is an especially fitting touch on this issue, making the overall presentation even more collectible. A standout feature of this issue is that the Mint used unusually strong striking pressure and multiple strikes on the uncirculated pieces, helping explain the bold detail and impressive eye appeal seen here. This example appears essentially blast white with only the faintest warmth at most, and it offers the kind of fresh, high-end look collectors want in a top-pop modern commemorative.
