Grade assessment

Mint State (Uncirculated/Proof-like)

Mintage & rarity

High; common modern bullion product produced in large quantities.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check weight (should be approx 28.3 grams) and diameter (39mm). These are rarely faked due to the low value of copper, but zinc-core fakes exist.

Notable varieties & errors

None known for this specific bullion design.

Similar coins

Silver versions of the same design, and other Buffalo or Indian Head themed copper rounds.

Care & preservation

Store in a PVC-free flip or capsule to prevent spotting (fingerprints) and oxidation (turning brown/green). Do not clean with abrasives as it will ruin the luster.
