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 in proof format, this fractional ounce gold coin features James Earle Fraser's iconic buffalo design, originally created for the reverse of the Buffalo nickel series (1913-1938). The obverse displays a Native American profile, also by Fraser, making this coin a modern homage to one of America's most beloved numismatic designs. Graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo, this coin represents the highest achievable grade from NGC, with exceptional strike quality and pristine surfaces. The Ultra Cameo designation indicates strong contrast between the mirrored fields and frosted devices—a hallmark of superior proof production. The 1/10 ounce denomination makes this an accessible entry point for collectors seeking to build a collection of American gold bullion proof coins. The American Buffalo gold series, which began in 2006, has maintained strong collector interest throughout its production run. This 2008-W proof issue, combined with its perfect grade, makes it a significant addition to any collection of modern U.S. gold coins or Buffalo designs. NGC Certification Number: 399932
