Discover a new chapter in one of America's most respected gold coin programs with the 2026-W 1/10 oz $5 Reverse Proof Gold American Buffalo 20th Anniversary NGC PF 69 ER. Issued to celebrate two decades of the American Gold Buffalo series, this special collectible combines 1/10 troy oz of .9999 fine gold with a striking Reverse Proof finish. Certified NGC PF 69 Early Releases, the coin offers outstanding Proof quality and a recognized early-release designation. Its anniversary theme and distinctive fractional format make it an appealing addition to modern U.S. gold collections.

The American Gold Buffalo series began in 2006, when the United States Mint introduced its first 24-karat gold bullion coin. Drawing inspiration from the celebrated 1913 Buffalo Nickel, the program brought historic American artwork to a modern precious metals format. For its 20th anniversary in 2026, the U.S. Mint presents a special 1/10 oz Reverse Proof edition. This release provides collectors with an unusual fractional version of a coin traditionally associated with the full-ounce format.

Struck at the West Point Mint, the anniversary Gold Buffalo also arrives during America's Semiquincentennial year, adding another layer of historical interest to this commemorative issue.  The Early Releases designation confirms that the coin satisfies NGC's requirements for coins received by the grading service or an approved depository within the first 30 days of release.
