In 2008, the West Point Mint produced some of the American Gold Buffalo coins, assigning them the "W" mint-mark. The Certified Uncirculated Gold Buffalo Tenth Ounce 2008-W MS70 NGC Early Release is the only date a tenth ounce Gold Buffalo was minted. The emblematic design, of the American Gold Buffalo has been consistently resurrected for other bullion products over the years and has never tired in popularity. For those who enjoy the process of buying gold, for investment purposes or sheer pleasure, the Uncirculated Gold Buffalo Coins should be included on their list! The Uncirculated Gold Buffalo Coins do not have unlimited mintages, like many other bullion coins, resulting in a yearly free for all, among collectors and investors, once the coin is released.

The American Gold Buffalo Coin was first released in the Summer of 2006, and goes down in history as the first 24-karat gold coin to be produced by the US Mint. The design is rooted in American history, inspired by the Indian Head Nickel design of 1913. James Earle Fraser is the artist responsible for such a stunning coin design, meeting an American bison in real life, just to draw it portrait. Black Diamond is the American Bison used as a model for the buffalo design. It has been recorded Fraser needed to constantly distract the beast, while drawing its portrait, to contain the side profile view, due to the bison wanting to constantly look forward.
