This product offering consists of a 20-coin Premier Tube of 2026 American Gold Buffalo bullion coins — each containing 1 troy ounce of .9999 pure gold. The “MD®” designation refers to Modern Delivery®, a packaging format used by some dealers/bullion suppliers to describe tubes of modern-issue coins. The included PCGS FS (FirstStrike®) designation means the coins (or at least those submitted for grading) were received by PCGS for grading within a certain early window after the mint release (typically within 30 days), which many collectors view as a premium attribute.
