2026 1 oz American Gold Buffalo NGC & SD Bullion MintCertified™ FIRST30 | Sealed Tube

2026 1 oz American Gold Buffalo NGC & SD Bullion MintCertified™ FIRST30 | Sealed Tube

The American Gold Buffalo stands as one of the most recognizable and sought-after gold bullion coins in the world. First introduced by the U.S. Mint in 2006 as the nation’s first .9999 fine (24-karat) gold coin, the Gold Buffalo combines historic artistry with the highest purity standard offered by the Mint.

SD Bullion’s exclusive MintCertified™ FIRST30™ Sealed Coin Tube program—developed in partnership with NGC—ensures you receive coins sourced from the first 30 days of the U.S. Mint’s official release. Each original unopened Mint tube is sealed with the SD Bullion & NGC MintCertified™ FIRST30™ label, providing exceptional protection and provenance.

Coins inside these sealed MintCertified™ FIRST30™ tubes are eligible for submission directly to NGC for certification and grading with either the FIRST30™ or Early Releases® designation. Opening or tampering with the tube will disqualify the coins from eligibility, but the designation remains valid as long as the seal is intact.

The 2026 Gold Buffalo Design

The obverse features James Earle Fraser’s renowned design, originally seen on the 1913 Buffalo Nickel. It depicts a composite Native American chief, with the word “LIBERTY” inscribed along the rim and the mintage year displayed below.

The reverse presents an American bison standing on a mound of earth. Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “$50,” and “1 OZ. .9999 FINE GOLD.” This design embodies both American heritage and the nation’s untamed spirit.
