Description

2008-W Burnished Gold Buffalo 1/2 oz Brown Label, NGC MS70. This exceptional 2008-W American Buffalo Gold Bullion Coin represents one of the finest examples of this modern classic. The piece features the iconic James Earle Fraser design, with the powerful American bison on the reverse and a Native American profile on the obverse.
