Description
2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1 oz. This exceptional 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo represents one of the finest examples of the American Buffalo gold series. Struck at the West Point Mint and graded by NGC as a perfect PF70, this coin exemplifies the highest standards of the U.S. Mint's modern precious metals coinage program. The American Buffalo gold series, introduced in 2006, features James Earlon Fraser's iconic buffalo design from the reverse of the Buffalo nickel (1913-1938). The obverse displays a portrait of a Native American, also by Fraser. As a proof issue from the West Point Mint, this coin was carefully struck multiple times to achieve the characteristic mirror fields and frosted design elements that define the series. This PF70 example represents the ultimate grade for the issue, indicating perfect strike and preservation with no visible imperfections under magnification. The coin contains one full troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, making it both a numismatic treasure and a significant bullion holding. NGC Certificate #393329.
