The 2008-W Burnished American Gold Buffalo represents a collector version of the popular Gold Buffalo bullion coin, which was first released by the United States Mint in 2006. Struck from 1/2 ounce of .9999 fine gold, this coin features a "W" mint mark indicating its production at the West Point Mint. Unlike the standard bullion issue, the burnished version has a matte finish, achieved through a special minting process involving the use of specially treated blanks and dies. The coin's design is a tribute to the classic Buffalo Nickel designed by James Earle Fraser, with the obverse showing the profile of a Native American and the reverse featuring an American buffalo. Certified by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), the coin's "SP" (Specimen) designation indicates a quality between mint state and proof, highlighting its unique finish.
