First introduced in 2006, the Gold American Buffalo remains one of the most iconic and historically significant gold coins ever struck by the U.S. Mint. Authorized by the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, it holds the distinction of being the first official 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold coin produced by the United States Mint.

The 2026 release marks two major milestones: The 250th anniversary of the United States Mint and the 20th anniversary of the American Buffalo Series. To commemorate the occasion, the coin features special semiquincentennial design elements, including dual “1776–2026” dates and a unique Liberty Bell privy mark with stacked “250” numerals.

Continuing the tradition established by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the obverse displays the iconic Native American profile inspired by several real-life tribal figures Fraser encountered, while the reverse features the powerful American bison modeled after Black Diamond, a buffalo once housed at the Central Park Zoo. Together, these timeless images capture the enduring strength, heritage, and spirit of the American frontier.

Each year, the U.S. Mint issues only a limited quantity of Proof Gold Buffalo coins, struck multiple times with specially polished dies to achieve a remarkable mirror-like finish and exceptional detail. Only a select number earn the coveted Proof 70 (PF70) grade from NGC, certifying a flawless example with no imperfections visible under magnification.

As part of the exclusive Ed Moy Signature Series, every 2026 Gold American Buffalo PF70 includes a certification label hand-signed by Edmund C. Moy, the 38th Director of the United States Mint. Available only through our firm, these limited-population coins combine historic significance, collectible exclusivity, and investment-grade gold appeal in one extraordinary release.
