2008-W 1/10 oz Burnished Gold Buffalo (w/box & COA)

The 2008-W 1/10 oz Burnished Gold Buffalo is one of the only fractional-size issues in the Gold Buffalo series, struck in .9999 fine 24-karat gold with a distinct burnished (uncirculated) finish. Issued exclusively in 2008 by the West Point Mint, this coin features a soft matte luster, setting it apart from standard bullion or proof versions. It comes in its original U.S. Mint packaging with an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

Collector Insight:

The 2008-W fractional Burnished Gold Buffalos were a one-year-only release, with no other year offering 1/10 oz coins in this finish. That rarity, combined with its premium presentation and 24-karat gold content, makes this piece highly sought-after by collectors and investors alike.

Mintage Note:

This coin is among the lowest mintage coins in the Gold Buffalo series. The fractional burnished Buffaloes, especially in 1/10 oz format, are rarely seen on the market and often command premium prices when found in pristine condition with OGP and COA.

• "W" mintmark denoting West Point Mint
