{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}In 2026, the United States Mint is celebrating two significant anniversaries tied to its most popular bullion coins. The American Eagle series turns 40, while the American Gold Buffalo marks 20 years since its debut. Introduced in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo remains the only 24-karat gold coin issued each year by the United States Mint. Right now, 2026 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Coins in certified condition are available from BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 2026 1 oz American Gold Buffalo Coin offered here is certified in perfect MS70 condition and housed in an individual plastic slab to help protect its surfaces. Coins with an MS70 grade show full mint luster and no visible imperfections under normal viewing. Early Release coins are those that were received for grading within 30 days of the mints release, making them a popular choice for collectors who like early-date certified examples.
Obverse
On the obverse of 2026 American Gold Buffalo Coins is an image of an indigenous figure. The right-profile portrait features braided hair and a feather woven into the braid, giving the design a strong, classic look. Sculptor James Earle Fraser first created this artwork in 1913 for the Buffalo Nickel, and it has since become one of the most recognized indigenous portraits in U.S. coinage history.
Reverse
The reverse of 2026 1 oz Gold Buffalo Coins features an American bison. Designed by Fraser for the 1913 Buffalo Nickel, this side shows the bison standing on a small area of ground with a sturdy, realistic stance. The inspiration for the bison is often credited to Black Diamond, a bison that lived at the Central Park Zoo in New York in the early 20th century.
History
The United States Mint released the 1 oz American Gold Buffalo in 2006 as the first U.S. bullion coin struck in 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold. It provided an alternative to the 22-karat Gold Eagle series that had long been the Mints main gold bullion option. Authorized by the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, the Gold Buffalo was created to offer a U.S. competitor to major 24-karat gold coins from around the world, including the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf.
