2008-W 1/4th-oz Gold Buffalo NGC MS70

One-Year-Only Fractional Gold Buffalos

One of the most iconic designs in American numismatics is the Buffalo Nickel, which was originally struck from 1913 to 1938. For this coin, designer James Earle Fraser took up nearly the entire face of both sides, presenting a composite portrait of three Native American chiefs on the obverse and a mighty American bison on the reverse. The design was so beloved that the U.S. Mint resurrected it for their Gold Buffalo series — a series that comes struck not in 91.7% (22 karat) gold like the American Gold Eagles, but rather 99.9% (24 karat) pure gold!

High-Grade, One-Year-Only Fraction Gold Buffalo Coins

Normally these coins are struck in one Troy ounce of pure U.S. gold. But for one year only — 2008 — the U.S. Mint decided to strike limited numbers of fractional Gold Buffalos. Mintages for these coins were extremely small, with just 9,949 Quarter-Ounce Gold Buffalos struck. We’ve managed to track down one of these extremely limited coins certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means these perfectly-graded coins have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. And when we say, “limited number,” we mean it — we have just ONE quarter-ounce gold coin certified in perfect condition!

No United States gold coin collection is complete without these fractional weights — meaning these few coins aren’t likely to stay in our vault for long. Don’t wait for this one-year-only Fractional Gold Buffalo to disappear back into the pages of numismatic history. Hurry and secure it for your collection today!
