2026-W 1/10 oz $5 Proof Gold American Buffalo Anniversary NGC PF 70 ER

Secure a perfect-grade example from the earliest release period of the 2026 American Gold Buffalo anniversary program with the 2026-W 1/10 oz $5 Proof Gold American Buffalo Anniversary NGC PF 70 ER. Struck at the West Point Mint, this special fractional Proof contains 1/10 troy oz of .9999 fine gold and carries a $5 face value. Issued for the 20th anniversary of the American Gold Buffalo series during the nation’s historic 250th anniversary year.

Since its introduction in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo has become a signature 24-karat gold program of the United States Mint. The series brought James Earle Fraser’s celebrated Buffalo Nickel imagery to modern American gold coinage while offering investors and collectors coins struck from exceptionally pure .9999 fine gold.

The 2026 anniversary edition marks 20 years since the series began and introduces the classic Gold Buffalo in a special fractional Proof format. At 1/10 oz, this $5 coin provides a smaller alternative to the traditional one-ounce Gold Buffalo while retaining the series’ recognizable artwork and high-purity gold composition.

In addition to its perfect grade, this coin carries the NGC Early Releases (ER) designation. Early Releases is an NGC designation for qualifying coins received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of the coin’s release.
