2008 W Uncirculated Gold Buffalo Set

All 4 Coins Certified "Perfect" Mint State - 70 by NGC

There are several versions of Gold Buffalo coins available for investors and collectors,  the most desirable of all Buffaloes is this 2008 set.  This is the collectible Uncirculated Gold Buffalo bullion complete coin set of $50, $25, $10, and $5. 

The Gold Buffalo coin series was created to compete in a global market with the 24k Krugerrand, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf and Chinese Gold Panda.   Although all Gold Buffalo coins are struck at the West Point Mint, only Uncirculated Gold Buffalos and Gold Buffalo Proofs carry the "W" mint mark. 

The gold used in Gold Buffalo coins comes from newly mined sources within the United States. The weight, content, and purity of each coin is guaranteed by the United States Government.

Gold Buffalos are made of 24k (.9999) gold—also known as "fine gold"—which is 99.99% pure.

Face Value Nominal Gold Weight Purity Diameter Thickness
$50 One Troy Ounce 99.99% 32.70 mm 2.95 mm
$25 Half Troy Ounce 99.99% 26.00 mm 1.85 mm
$10 Quarter Troy Ounce 99.99% 21.50 mm 1.53 mm
$5 Tenth Troy Ounce 99.99% 16.00 mm 1.05 mm

Each of these coins has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty  Corporation as MINT STATE 70 (Perfect).   NGC Certified Gold provides you with independent assurance of the metal content and genuineness of historic gold coins. NGC provides an accurate indentifying description for every certified gold coin, including the coin’s metal content and an expert assessment of its state of preservation.  MS-70 is the highest grade possible.  Additionally, every coin certified by NGC is backed by a full money-back guarantee of authenticity.

There are EXTREMELY few sets of the 2008 Uncirculated Gold Buffalo Coins in existence worldwide.

2008-W Uncirculated Gold Buffalo Mintages

2008-W Uncirculated $50 Gold Buffalo (1 ounce): 9,074
2008-W Uncirculated $25 Gold Buffalo (1/2 ounce)
: 16,908
2008-W Uncirculated $10 Gold Buffalo (1/4 ounce)
: 9,949
2008-W Uncirculated $5 Gold Buffalo (1/10 ounce): 17,429

The $50 denomination was the lowest mintage.  There were only 9,074 $50 coins minted.  As the 2008 Set of Gold Buffalo Coins must have one of each denomination, logically, there can not be more than that number of sets in existence.

It is a fact that fewer than 20% of coins sent to be graded reach the MS-70 classification standards.  This limits the maximum number of sets with the designation of "Perfect" to not more than 1,815 complete, perfect sets worldwide.

Now factor in the fact that many of these 2008 Gold Buffalo $50 coins that are sold as single coins and will never be placed into sets, limiting even further the number of sets in existence.

This is truly a collector set that has all the hallmarks of a great investment:

  • 99.99% Pure Gold

  • MS-70

  • Graded by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation)

  • Very Limited Mintage

  • Single Year of Issue (Fractional Buffalo Set Only Issued In 2008)

  • The Complete Set, Each Coin Perfect

This purchase includes one each of all 4 coins issued by the US Mint in the 2008-W Uncirculated Gold Buffalo Set
