2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz Ed Moy

Description

2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz, Ed Moy Signature. This exceptional NGC PF70 specimen represents the finest quality for this modern commemorative issue. The 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz features the iconic design by James Earle Fraser, originally created for the legendary Buffalo Nickel series. The obverse displays a Native American profile, while the reverse showcases a majestic American buffalo standing on a mound, a design that has remained virtually unchanged since its introduction over a century ago. The coin was struck at the West Point Mint during the height of the American Bison Commemorative coin program, with Ed Moy serving as Director of the U.S. Mint. This particular example has achieved the coveted Perfect 70 grade from NGC, indicating flawless striking and exceptional preservation. The proof finish displays brilliant fields and frosted devices characteristic of West Point's premium production standards. The 1/10 oz fractional gold buffalo series has proven popular among both precious metals investors and numismatic collectors seeking accessible entry points into U.S. Mint gold coinage. The Perfect 70 grade is notably difficult to achieve on modern proof gold issues, making this certified specimen particularly desirable for advanced collectors. NGC Certification Number: 399932
