Description

2008-W Burnished Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz, NGC MS70. This exceptional example represents one of the finest specimens of the 2008-W Burnished Gold Buffalo fractional issue. The coin exhibits the characteristic deep orange-gold coloration and sharp strike definition that define the burnished finish produced at the West Point Mint. The reverse features James Earhart Fraser's iconic buffalo design, while the obverse displays the Indian Head profile, both rendered with exceptional clarity and detail on this diminutive planchet. Certified by NGC as MS70, this piece achieves a perfect numerical grade, indicating flawless surfaces and ideal strike characteristics. The 1/10 ounce fractional size, combined with the exclusive West Point Mint burnished production, makes this a significant offering for collectors of modern U.S. gold bullion and commemorative issues. The burnished finish, distinct from standard proof and uncirculated productions, provides a unique aesthetic appeal that has garnered considerable collector interest since its 2008 release.
