Description
2008-W Burnished Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz, NGC MS70. This exceptional 2008-W Burnished Gold Buffalo represents one of the finest examples of this popular modern bullion issue. The coin features the iconic American Buffalo design on the reverse, paired with a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse, continuing the tradition established by the American Buffalo Gold Bullion series. Struck at the West Point Mint, as indicated by the "W" mintmark, this 1/10 ounce piece is composed of .9999 fine gold. The NGC MS70 designation represents a perfect or near-perfect strike with no visible imperfections under magnification. This exceptional grade is rarely achieved for modern bullion coins and indicates exceptional quality in both strike and preservation. The brown label designation confirms this as a burnished (matte finish) specimen rather than the standard brilliant finish, a characteristic that appeals to both bullion investors and collectors seeking the distinct aesthetic of burnished gold issues. The 2008 date falls within the early years of the American Buffalo Gold Bullion series, and burnished versions remain popular among collectors for their unique finish and lower mintages compared to their brilliant counterparts. This MS70 example represents the highest quality available for this specific issue. Starting Bid: $1,250
