Description
2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz, Ed Moy Signature, NGC PF70. This exceptional 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo represents one of the most popular modern gold issues from the United States Mint. Struck at the West Point facility and bearing the signature of Ed Moy, who served as Director of the Mint during this period, this fractional gold piece captures the iconic imagery that has made the Buffalo design a cornerstone of contemporary numismatic collecting. The coin features James Earle Fraser's celebrated Buffalo design, originally introduced on the reverse of the Buffalo nickel (1913-1938). The obverse displays a Native American profile, while the reverse showcases an American bison standing on a mound. As a 1/10 oz proof issue, this piece combines the artistry of proof striking with the precious metal content that appeals to both collectors and bullion investors. Certified by NGC as PF70, this coin represents an exceptional example of the issue, achieving the highest standard of proof preservation. The PF70 designation indicates virtually perfect striking with full mirror fields and frosted designs characteristic of premium proof coinage. This grade places the coin among the finest known examples, making it highly desirable to both modern gold proof specialists and Buffalo enthusiasts. The 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo remains a key date in the series and continues to attract serious collectors seeking quality examples of 21st-century American gold coinage.
