2008-W 4-Coin Proof Gold Buffalo Set (w/Box & COA). This 4-Coin Proof Gold Buffalo Set features coins from the only year that fractional Gold Buffalo coins were minted. There was a limited mintage of just 7,803 sets.

2008-W 4-Coin Proof Gold Buffalo Set Highlights:

  • Contains a total of 1.85 oz actual Gold weight.
  • Housed in the original mint box with a certificate of authenticity.
  • Obverse: Showcases a rendition of James Earle Fraser's acclaimed "Buffalo Nickel" design of an American Indian in profile originally minted in 1913.
  • Reverse: Depicts an American buffalo on the reverse which is a visual representation of the bison named Black Diamond who, in the early 1900s, lived in the Central Park Zoo in New York City.
  • Features the West Point Mint's "W" mint mark.
  • Guaranteed by the U.S. Mint.


The classic Gold Buffalo Set gains even more collectibility since 2008 was the only year that fractional Gold Buffalos were issued.

These 2008-W 4-Coin Proof Gold Buffalo Set comes in a beautiful display box and protective capsules so that you can enjoy your Gold investment for more than just their monetary value. There are many interesting Gold coins as there as the many Gold bullion rounds, but unlike rounds, Gold coins are considered to be U.S. legal tender. A Gold coin is guaranteed for quality and purity by its issuing government. Gold coin prices include a premium for this assurance, but it also typically makes the Gold coins more valuable when you sell the Gold coin.

Fractional Gold Buffalo coins were only produced in 2008, making this an ideal .9999 fine Gold coin set.
