A pinnacle of modern U.S. coinage, the 2008-W 4PC Proof Gold Buffalo Set, certified PF70 by NGC with the exclusive "Modern Numismatic Masterpieces/Cabral Auto" label, is a collector’s masterpiece. Struck at the West Point Mint with a mintage of just 7,803 sets, this rare set includes four denominations ($5, $10, $25, $50) in flawless proof condition, showcasing James Earle Fraser’s iconic Buffalo Nickel designs. The PF70 grade and Anna Escobedo Cabral’s autograph, as the 42nd U.S. Treasurer, elevate its status as a numismatic treasure, blending artistry, scarcity, and historical significance.

A Historic Milestone for the Gold Buffalo Series

Introduced in 2006 as America’s first 24-karat gold coin, the American Gold Buffalo series reached a high point with the 2008-W 4PC Proof Set, the only year the U.S. Mint offered all four fractional denominations ($5, $10, $25, $50) in proof finish. Struck at West Point with a “W” mintmark, the set’s low mintage of 7,803 reflects its exclusivity, driven by collector demand for premium strikes. This set stands out for its comprehensive representation of the Buffalo series, celebrating Fraser’s 1913 design in a year marked by numismatic innovation, making it a cornerstone for collectors at Global Coin.

The Prestige of the “W” Mint Mark

The “W” mintmark signifies West Point’s reputation for crafting premium collector coins. With its low mintage and proof finish across all four denominations, this set is a rare achievement, distinguishing it from standard bullion Buffalos and marking it as a collector’s prize.

Iconic American Design

Each coin in the set features Fraser’s timeless designs, originally created for the 1913-1938 Buffalo Nickel, now rendered in 24-karat gold with stunning proof clarity.

  • Obverse: Fraser’s Native American portrait, a composite of chiefs Iron Tail, Two Moons, and John Big Tree, faces right with detailed braids and feathers. “LIBERTY” arcs above, “2008” and Fraser’s “F” initial sit below, with the “W” mintmark to the left. The proof finish delivers mirror-like fields and frosted relief, with PF70 examples showcasing flawless radiance.

  • Reverse: Fraser’s American buffalo, modeled after Black Diamond from the Bronx Zoo, stands on a mound. Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the respective denominations (“$5,” “$10,” “$25,” “$50”) with “1/10 OZ.,” “1/4 OZ.,” “1/2 OZ.,” or “1 OZ.” and “.9999 FINE GOLD.” The frosted buffalo contrasts sharply with polished fields, vivid in PF70 condition.

  • Edge: Reeded, enhancing the set’s elegant presentation.

The proof finish transforms Fraser’s designs into a sculptural showcase, with each denomination in PF70 condition offering museum-quality perfection across the set.

Certified Perfection with “Modern Numismatic Masterpieces” Label Autographed by Anna Cabral

Graded PF70 by NGC, each coin in this set achieves flawless perfection, with no imperfections under magnification. The "Modern Numismatic Masterpieces/Cabral Auto" label, signed by Anna Escobedo Cabral, adds a prestigious pedigree, linking the set to her influential tenure (2004-2009) during the Gold Buffalo’s early years. The 24-karat gold surfaces and impeccable proof finish make this set a standout for collectors seeking rarity and prestige.
