Description
2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo 1/10 oz Brown Label. This exceptional specimen represents a 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo, struck at the West Point Mint and graded by NGC as PF70. The one-tenth ounce fractional gold buffalo is among the most popular modern gold proof issues, combining elegant design with practical size and weight. The brown label designation indicates this example was graded during NGC's earlier certification period, adding to its collectible appeal for vintage slab enthusiasts. The 2008-W Proof Gold Buffalo features James Earle Fraser's iconic buffalo design, originally created for the Buffalo nickel series. The obverse displays a Native American profile, while the reverse showcases an American bison in naturalistic detail. At the PF70 designation, this coin exhibits the highest level of preservation with no visible imperfections under magnification, showcasing pristine mirror fields and fully struck design elements. Fractional gold buffalo proofs have maintained strong collector interest due to their accessibility and the enduring popularity of the buffalo motif in American numismatics. The NGC PF70 grade (Certificate #399932) confirms this example's exceptional quality and represents an outstanding opportunity for collectors seeking premium examples of modern American gold coinage.
