2018 W Breast Cancer Awareness $5 Proof Gold Commemorative (w/Box & COA)

The 2018 W Breast Cancer Awareness Proof Gold Commemorative, as allowed under U.S. law, is a certified part of the commemorative coin program. This program allows for any portion of the purchase of the coin over the denomination, the surcharge as it’s named, to fund organizations and projects benefiting the public. For this exciting new coin,a portion of the price is paid to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation in New York as a way to fund and continue breast cancer research efforts.

Approximately 1 in 8 United States women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in their lifetimes. This shocking statistic is perhaps why breast cancer research has become one of the most popular causes for fundraising efforts. There are very few families who are untouched by this terrible disease. These efforts have contributed to a decreasing death rate and even a decreasing diagnosis rate through advances in treatment, early detection, and increasing awareness. This beautiful new release is a tangible representation of this movement forward.
