Description

2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz. A stunning example of the 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo, graded NGC PF70 with certificate number 399932. This diminutive yet highly collectible fractional gold piece represents one of the most sought-after modern American bullion coins, combining the iconic imagery of James Earle Fraser's famous Buffalo nickel design with the prestige of U.S. Mint proof coinage. The Buffalo gold series, introduced in 2008, was produced in limited quantities, with the West Point mint's proof issues commanding particular attention from serious collectors. The 1/10 oz fractional size offers accessibility while maintaining the design integrity and numismatic appeal of its larger counterparts. The perfect PF70 designation indicates exceptional eye appeal with no visible imperfections under magnification—a remarkable achievement for this challenging denomination. This coin represents both numismatic artistry and precious metal value, appealing to collectors of modern American gold, Buffalo nickel enthusiasts, and investors alike. The combination of the prestigious NGC PF70 grade, the limited mintage of proof issues, and the enduring appeal of this design makes this an excellent addition to any collection.
