Description

2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz Red Book, NGC PF70. This exceptional example represents one of the most desirable modern gold issues from the U.S. Mint's American Buffalo series. The 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo was produced at the West Point Mint and features James Earle Fraser's iconic buffalo reverse design, originally introduced on the Buffalo nickel (1913-1938). The 1/10 ounce denomination offers collectors an accessible entry point to this prestigious series while maintaining the full design integrity of the larger issues. Certified by NGC as PF70, this coin achieves the highest numerical grade, indicating flawless proof surfaces with no visible imperfections under magnification. The designation "Red Book" refers to this coin's inclusion in the official A Guide Book of United States Coins, making it a recognized key date within the modern proof gold buffalo series. The pristine surfaces showcase the remarkable reflectivity and sharp strike characteristic of West Point Mint proof production. As a modern bullion-related proof issue with perfect grading, this piece appeals to both gold investors and collectors pursuing complete sets of the American Buffalo series. The combination of perfect certification and the coin's status as a notable Red Book entry makes this an attractive offering for serious collectors.
