Description
2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz, NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo. This exceptional 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo represents one of the finest examples of this popular modern gold issue. Struck at the West Point Mint, this fractional ounce gold piece showcases the iconic Buffalo nickel design adapted for contemporary precious metal coinage. The coin exhibits the characteristic sharp striking and mirror fields typical of proof production. Graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo (Certificate #399932), this specimen achieves the highest numerical grade on the Sheldon scale, indicating virtually flawless surfaces with no visible imperfections under magnification. The ultra cameo designation confirms exceptional contrast between the frosted design elements and deeply mirrored fields—a hallmark of superior proof striking quality. The 1/10 ounce format makes this an accessible entry point for collectors seeking U.S. Mint gold bullion in proof condition. These fractional weights have proven popular with both numismatists and investors, and examples in this exceptional grade are increasingly scarce as the secondary market absorbs available inventory. A premium offering for the discerning collector of modern gold coinage.
