If you're interested in hearing more about _why_ I think it's important to buy domestic coins rather than those from foreign mints (as much as I love them), I posted an earlier video here: ruclips.net/video/_G-j_hzuX-c/видео.html. Thanks for watching!
I bought one (because I liked the U.S. History behind it, and the artwork) for $1,200.00. Now, my Coin is worth $1,900.00. I wish I would have bought more of them...
Having a global economy and social globalisation in mind, I find it difficult to suggest to hold American Coins as the primary option! I’d always prefer to diversify in Karat, Countries, Motives (Asian people don’t like fairly masculine American motives e.g.) as well as fungibility. Also, give collectors elements a chance to increase your coins value too. So, your recommendation seems short eyed to an in depth consideration and it would be by far better, less risky in the long term to recommend a mix of Kangaroos, Wiener Philharmonics, Britannias, Eagles, Buffalos, Maples, Pandas, Libertad and Krugers… All continents, max. global fungibility, partially increasing value on top of spot, etc. pp…
I agree with your assessment if based in America or Canada. It's a bullion contest and not a beauty contest so I think you were a bit harsh on the krugerand. It was the coin that started the 1 ounce bench mark back in 1967 with over 40 million sold worldwide and traditionally commands the lowest premium and highest liquidity internationally. In the beauty contest the buffalo wins hands down everytime. I'm in Europe and in addition to ugly krugerands I like the gold Philharmonics as well, but that's a European flipside to the Eagle.
So there are about 40 million Krugerrands in circulation, @gerry2828 kelly? How many Maple Leafs and Gold Eagles are in circulation? Just to get a reference.
@@maxsiem77 that's a good question i went and Googled it just now. Its over 50 million Krugerand minted, 26 million maple leaf. Not sure on American Gold Eagle since 1986 but some years over a million and others just under 200,000. Its still a huge number for all 3 coins. I was surprised at so many maple leafs been minted.
The Australian Gold Kangaroo. New design every year which functions as a security feature, Perth Mint gold finish is beautiful, 9999 gold. You can't go wrong with any as it's gold but my preference is always Perth Mint. For fractional, I think the gold British Sovereign is an amazing coin. The coin has a great history and the imagery of the coin transcends time.
@Anthony Tsatsis You are. I'm an American but the Perth Mint is easily my favorite mint. I love the kookaburras, koalas,gold kangaroos, and their gold bars. Great products and quality.
Nice video! Important to note that the gold eagle has not that much demand and liquidity here in Europe. Britannia, Austrian Philharmonics and e Canadian Maples are more liquid here
just a word, in australia if you buy 92% gold you pay GST goods and services tax of 10%, you do not pay 10% GST on 99% gold... same with platinum and silver...
You should mention that you can touch and play with the coin and scratch the hell out of it. You will still get 100% spot price. You don't have to worry about anything. it's just a store of wealth.
@@2is1gold you weren’t “bad” here but the level of production is so starkly different I had to say something. Really goes to show how much the tiny details matter and come together to make something magnificent.
In my experience, scratches and dents do not affect affect my ability to resale buffalos or eagles. I have always been able to sell eagles back to coin shops for $10 over spot and usually get at least spot price for buffalos. As long as the weights reflect 1 oz scrap gold, the will give me the same quote regardless of condition because the are only concerned with the scrap gold value and not numismatic value.
jaden zheng I see and have been told more or less the same with Eagles and Buffalos as long as they’re in decent condition. (Maples are different in my experience.) Thanks for the info!
I really appreciate your sound investing advice. You really help me understand all the noise around the Gold community. There are talks its going to the moon, then there are talks its going down again. I am glad there are people like you who tell me all the facts and can also advocate for both sides of view. It is refreshing. I am calling 100K subscribers soon... calling less than 12 months.
The other key I guess you can add is the premium of gold coins. That means the difference of spot price and buy price. Typically, maple is the lowest in these three, while buffalo is the highest in price. In that case I also recommend krugerrand as it is cheaper.
I always look at the ability to use in an Emergency when I travel out of the States. I have Gold Clasps and wear American Eagles or Kugerands as Necklace's while Traveling. If I need Cash they really are recognized anywhere in the World. Since I can't Travel to buy Gold out of the U.S. I admire them on tbe Nightstand.
I would also like to recommend two types of gold coins that ate not mentioned in the video. One is the British sovereign which is about 7.96 grams. It's an easy way to buy gold. It's also historical. It's got different monarchs on the back of the coins. The second coin I would like to recommend is the 50 pesos 1947 coin from Mexico. It's a 1.27 Oz gold coin. One of the most beautiful gold coins and it is a large gold coin. You don't believe me check it out on RUclips.
I love sovereigns! I only have 1, but it’s my only proof coin. I just love the design and I was willing to pay a little extra for the proof version. My dealer gave me a good price since he knew I’d been saving up for it for a while
@@Crocodile2873 : I think "Sovs" are the perfect size and price for most people and they're known all over the world so you will never have any problems selling them. I have 18 of them so far and will be buying more when / if the spot price drops.
I have a 1oz. Buffalo and I love it. I also have the 1/10, 1/4, 1/2oz. Eagles and they are good too. I have to say there is something about the 24k .9999 buffalo that I like better. The color is amazing, the design is amazing and it’s more pure. I feel like you can’t go wrong with a Buffalo. As a matter of fact that is the next video I’m putting out. It’s my 11th order in stacking. A 1oz. Gold buffalo. Hope you get a chance to check it out.
I'm an American and I don't like either American coins. The American Eagle is a collector item and does not need copper added to it because it isn't going anywhere. I don't like the Indian gold piece because it looks like a big glorified nickel. Now the gold maple leaf.....that's beautiful because it looks like royalty. And it is pure gold.
The AGE and the American Gold Buffalo both had to grow on me. The reason they're the *best* coins to buy is a lot less about their looks and more about their popularity. I agree with you on the Maples. They look fantastic, and I wish the US Mint would take note. Cheers!
And you are correct about the Krugerrands. They're the first.....and they're well-respected......but I just don't like the copper color to them. Sure, the Eagle has some, but it's lightened by the silver content. Krugerrands are 100% copper for the alloy content. TOO coppery.
Because it's mixed with other metals the American gold eagle I would not purchase, The gold American Buffalo is far more attractive especially in its purity not mix with other metals. Queen Elizabeth pisses me off
Fractional low premium govt coin.....british sovereigns. Check out SD bullion. 5% over spot for the 1/4 and 1/2 oz. Well.....they're just a shade under those sizes. Best price anywhere on a fractional coin.
Dub City Stacker the texture of the Buffalo is very different. The flat field or a field with perfect radial lines like the Maples have will show a scratch way more easily than than the molded field of the Buffalo. I’ve never noticed micro scratches on a Buffalo. I rarely do not notice them in Maples.
I live in Panama. Here you see a lot of Canadian gold maples. You see a lot of Krugerands. When you want to buy gold here you have to buy what is available. Many times the coins are older. Or, sometimes the coins are not in perfect condition as well. If they weigh out correctly and you can get them at a good price, you buy them. I feel that later on in the US, it will be the same way. Currently there are not many gold owners in the US. When gold becomes more in demand, and it will, people are going to complain less about the scratches and just be happy to have the opportunity to own some gold. Since people are just now waking up to the fact that owning gold coins is a must you do have the opportunity for now, to be picky and make sure you only own the most desirable bullion coins with the least amount of scratches. Take advantage of this if you can. If gold becomes hard to find though, buy those Kruggerands and Mexican Peso gold coins. There is nothing wrong with them.
We're picky with scratches because if we sold our scratched coin to a coin or bullion shop, they would pay you less for it. But yeah, gold is gold scratches shouldn't matter, but they do if you sell them.
@@lamarravery4094 Buy gold coins while you can with no scratches. As time goes on this will matter less as there will be less coins out there for sale. Where I live, a few scratches don't matter. Gold is hard to find so a few scratches don't deter me. I buy older gold coins if that is all there is. Like the old kruggerands etc or older gold maples. Maples get scratched. No two ways around it. If a coin is scruffy, try to get a little discount.
@@glenh4971 Thanks for the advise. There will be a time when gold can't be bought, either because it's too expensive or they were all bought up. Right now, I'm waiting for a pull back, I want to get it under $2,000 one last time.
I was buying krugerrands back in 1972-75 while in the military for $38-$42 dollars each. Back then it was illegal for americans to buy and own them because of the South African policy of racial apartheid. Well I bought 5 of them every month for 4yrs. 48 months × 5 monthly= 240 coins. They cost me roughly
I decided in an envious way I absolutely hate you now but I so want to be you😂😂. You held those coins through good times and bad but you never were at a loss. It just shows you what inflation has done to the purchasing power of the dollar. What tremendous foresight you had. I'm hoping that 20 years from I will be making the comments you made and someone will be say that they think $20,000 a coin is too high🤣🤣🤣
@@gerrykelly-zk6lf Kelly I am very fortunate and grateful for my life. I am not complaining hear me out. I lived in foster homes until I joined the military at age 17. I spent 20yrs.
Perfect! Thank you. I appreciate the straight-forwardness of where to put the money to make it work. I am doing what your video is showing, which are the non-numismatic bullions. I just want to build wealth. And I think both gold and silver eagles (since I'm in the US) is going to be the best. You pay for the premium for the eagle, but you get it back when having to sell them. It takes much less effort and you get closer to spot than generics or the others. That's my game. Save, save, save, and then let my children inherit and hopefully continue the saving ritual.
Spot On. I’m actually weird and am quite a fan of the Eagle’s color but I think just having 1 in the 1 oz variety is the ticket and going for the Buffs whenever possible is the better long term option. 24K is the way of the future with Asia’s population and preference for purity. I also say that as we cannot currently stack a Fractional Buffalo (I’m not talking the broken set way overpriced ones on eBay) and so I’m relegated to stacking Eagles In all the fractional weights I want to build weight in as well so it’s also a variety play. Great vid sir
Florida Stacker my personal brand of weird is a compulsion to have an even split between Eagles and Buffalos. I’m even at the moment, so a Buffalo is the next one up for me. If 1/4oz Buffalos were still a thing, that might be all I’d stack from here on out!
You have a couple of other options as well. For example is the Austrian Philharmoniker a really good bullion coin, and it is also nice to look at. Another good bullion coin is the Krugerand from South Africa. Each coin contains one troy ounce of gold, but it is a few grams heavier, and that extra weight is copper mixed with the gold.
American Gold Eagles are more popular in the US, but they're both great. If you want a 24k coin, go with the Buffalo. If it doesn't matter to you, go with the Eagle. Good luck!
Gorgeous coins/stack and great Video! I think it’s worth mentioning that the 1 oz gold philharmonic isn’t a bad option either. It’s pretty well known internationally, 24k, and has the lowest premium I can find for a well known minted 1 oz gold coin. Very affordable with all the great perks. Looking forward to your next uploads!
I agree that buying US gold coins is the most sensible living in America and I do buy mostly eagles... but, I also love the philharmonics.. I like them better for 24k fractionals better than the maple leaf... also, I doubt that you would really have a problem selling them anywhere, since (of course) they ARE in fact gold...lol
Philharmonics are well-known enough that any dealer will pick them up without hesitation. Maples have the edge on them here for general awareness if you run a private sale, though, and dealers in my area will pay a little more for Maples. They’re like Britannias and Kangaroos, though. Stack ‘em if you like ‘em!
Don’t forget about the American Liberty gold coin , 24k purity also has $100 denomination. It’s a more obscure modern coin. Should be same premium as an eagle or buffalo. Purity matters to me as well. I just don’t like alloyed gold.
IMHO, a Britannia, Maple Leaf, Eagle, Philharmonic, or Kruggerand with the LEAST premium. At the end of the day you are buying an ounce of Gold, not a rare coin. Now a coin is worth a small premium over a bar for liquidity reasons. BUT, do not pay insane premiums over spot for any coin.
Everything you mentioned is common and well-known. When I recorded the video, you could find Eagles for about $10-$20 more than the others you mentioned, and you could get $20 or more back in a sale, so Eagles covered the spread. They also have the widest buyer population, so they're the way to go if you don't know what to grab. None of the coins you mentioned are bad choices in my mind, though. Thanks!
As USA yes, maybe , but USA not all world and as we want to buy as cheap as possible and also we buy for investment and stacking and not to speculate or resell, also try get at closer at spot price and dont pay to much over- australian nuggets are the best. Hard to find coin with 999.999 purity closer to spot price than perth kangaroos. 2nd austrian philharmonic.And also they both are well know world wide.
The Gold Maple Leaf is the best coin of the three. It's got the lowest premium and it's the cheapest of the three coins on average - you don't believe me check JM Bullion, Provident Metals. It's .9999 pure or 24 carat has mentioned in the video. It also its got a security feature, so it cannot be counterfeited as easily as an Eagle and a Buffalo. Just my thoughts and yeah I am bias because I am from Canada. American coins are not always the best coins to buy even if you live in America.
gold maple I posted a video recently about another Maple I picked up. It’s a fantastic coin. It’s a distant second to Eagles and Buffalos here in terms of demand, though.
@@2is1gold I can understand that most Americans would buy Eagles and they would be most popular in the United States. However, have you checked the prices lately. You are better off buying Maples because they are 24 carat, they are also cheaper in the United States right now than Eagles. They do not get scratched as easily as much as before.
I've always wanted a gold coin and I'm finally in a place to buy one. I've searched and the only gold coin that meets my expectations of what will likely be my only gold coin for life is the 2017 Gold Swan. Elegant, minimal, broadly appealing, and has a timeless beauty. And Elizabeth's profile, not Charles's. Everything a gold coin should be. Seriously, does anyone really WANT a pig or ugly face on their gold coin? Sorry to be crass, but that's how I feel, and wanted to get it off my chest.
I started about 5 years ago listening to people talk about gold and happened onto ITM Trading and Lynette Zang. She was very informative and convinced me to buy numismatics and so I did and then after some looking around found out I paid way over premium. I then asked them if I could send them back and buy the Gold Eagles as I didn't really want collectibles but was convinced that they wouldn't be confiscated by Zang which she now says it could happen. They wouldn't do it and told me that I was informed that all sales were final but I still can't see why they wouldn't do it if they thought the numismatics was so great and I was willing to pay their premium on the gold eagles. So now I'm basically stuck with them but hoping that at some point their price goes higher as people jump into the market as they did in 2011 and I can sell them and buy or exchange them for gold eagles. The coins were appraised by MIlesFranlin so I didn't get screwed there at least. I could have bought more coins for the amount of money I paid for the numismatics. Don't be fooled by all of the economics and politics that people use to get you to buy their product. All they had to do was exchange my coins and everyone would be happy but no they decided that their profit margin was more important than the customer. Done
The best one to buy is the ones u can afford 🤔 ,the sovereign takes some beating as not only can you sell in coin stores ,but collecters will pay a premium for older ones 👍
Number one coin is the krugerrand!! Sold the most! Over 50,000,000 worldwide The most beautiful gold coin is the BUFFALO. The best coin for anti-counterfeiting is the British Britannia 2021
GOLD IS GOLD is GOLD...any 1oz coin is fine. probably with lowest premium. That way you can ding the hell out of it and still get spot for it when you sell it.
@@2is1gold You actually had a dealer not willing to pay you spot because of a blemish. That is unheard of. I would never do business with them again. It's GOLD, the value is in the metal, not the form. You are better off selling on facebook marketplace then in the future.
All great coins! The gold Buffalo is the cream of the crop; especially in the US. Always recommend pure gold For its purity and beauty. It’s 100! The gold eagle is great; however, I don’t care for the reverse so much. It’s a little to busy. Hopeful they simplify it in 2021 to resemble the original double eagle design. I recommend putting all coins in the airtite capsules so the added copper content for it’s durability isn’t much of a concern. It is neat and good to have if there ever comes a time that these coins need to be circulated.
2 is 1 Great video by the way. I’m hoping the mint will reissue the gold buffalo fractional coins. I’m looking forward to those as well. Great hobby, investment and store of wealth. Keep stacking man!
@@scotttild not quite. You don’t have to file any tax forms when buying or selling eagles or buffalos. But you still have to claim it as capital gains. Filing tax forms and claiming capital gains are two different things.
@@SergiuM42 Am I missing something or is there simply no way anyone can tell how much I bought it for, then sold it for, if I walk in with a piece of metal in my hand??????
He said if they are damaged some people freak out if their pretty Coin gets scratched. Not me Gold is gold as long as they are minor abrasions I will buy them. As long as the weight is not affected. This guy did a nice presentation for New Gold savers. What I have learned over the years is my Wife likes Gold. So if I buy her Earrings I will throw in a Half Ounce Eagle. She says nothing. And remember many woman can't or won't save. I have always treated my gold as my Savings Account. I always have money to fall back on if I need the plumber, need a car repair. I can sell gold anytime and always more than what I purchased it at as of this writing. Everyone's situation is different but Gold & Silver is my Place Marker in Life.
@@bustbeel1 Dealers make money on premium. so they will just reduce your premium over spot when they buy a 'damaged' coin from you. BUT the lowest premium coin you can find (which should be less than 4%) and just eat the cost and expect spot when you sell it back.
I just don't buy the idea of Gold Eagles. You pay so much to the U.S. Mint for the privilege of marginally more liquidity. But to get liquidity from gold, you need a buyer who understands gold, and most buyers who understand Gold Eagles will understand almost any other form of bullion grade coin, too. I'm trying to buy a tangible asset, not a seal of approval from the government.
I've found that there are a fair amount of people (here in the U.S.) who recognize the American Gold Eagle (and American Silver Eagle) but have no clue whatsoever about any other coin. I get your point, though. Cheers!
@@2is1gold So in the US there are lots of people that do know the American Gold Eagle, but not the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Krugerrand or even the American Buffalo? In that case I would certainly go for the American Gold Eagle if I were living in America.
@@maxsiem77 right. People who buy regularly will absolutely know CMLs and Krugs (and Philharmonics, Britannias, Kangaroos, etc.) but that's such a small part of the population.
You always get that Thumbs-up brother. I am trying to decide on what to buy today. A tube of silver buffalos or a quarter ounce eagle... What say you sir?
Hi friend, I'm from Germany and I'm a fan of your channel! I love and buy buffalos and AE! Even if I have to pay a brutal surcharge in Germany ........
Yeah, hopefully you needed to sell it to cover an emergency. Rule #1, you hoard gold, you never sell unless you can really get something of real value for it.
@@lamarravery4094 I was 20years old at the time. Didn't really have a investing mentality at the time. I sold the coin and bought me some video games at best buy. Lol
You cover all the bases I feel the same buy and collect the ones easiest to sale wonderful video really enjoy listening to other stackers wish utube was around when I started collecting could saved me from buying other coins i still like them but it will be harder to sale 😪
Eagle fractionals (1/4 & 1/2 oz.) are .9167 pure vs the .999 pure 1 oz. Eagle. Canadian Maples are always .9999 even if it is a 1, 1/4 or 1/2 oz. Seems like a no brainer to not have anything less than .999 fine purity. Otherwise, why not just buy 22 kt jewelry? The Eagles already carry a heavier premium. Seems like the Maples are the way to go IMO.
Mike Elbow What you say makes sense. I stack for SHTF scenario. I think people in the US might be hesitant to barter with maple leafs. Just my thoughts.
@@gmajors2237 I partially agree, but both can be counterfeited and both mints are just as credible and World renowned. In SHTF people will be trading their 14k family heirlooms and ear rings if they have to and suddenly people may not care if a coin has a Maple Leaf or and Eagle on it. As long as its purity and content can be verified, that is all that will matter. Not arguing with you. It is just a thought. I have never been in a SHTF situation so I honestly don't know.
I don't particularly like the copper tone of the Krugerrands, and I've had a few run ins with fake Krugs. That's all personal. Krugerrands are a great option. Cheers!
Swiss Helvetia 20 francs is one of the best bangs for the buck as far as gold content vs premiums. Great little coins for adding gold to your stack on a budget.
Great rundown. Even though you love the Buff, you gave a great description of the Eagle and the benefits of the Cupro-Silver alloy which 'hardens' and strengthens the Eagle. 22-Kt or not, I prefer the Eagles. As you said, EVERYONE knows them. And you'll get tops for it. ANYWHERE in the World.
Coins have numismatic value on top of gold value so 1oz coin of a particular year is worth more than just a 1oz bar of the same year. Coins are minted by a country with a value and have different tax laws vs bars because they are money. I keep all of them. Liberty eagles for cash here, but I am keeping some Canadians if I ever have to leave the country and Krugerrands are recognized in any country in the world and can be converted to cash of that country in an instant.
@@calvingrace2538 Not right now at JM bullion. $1830 for a 1oz Gold Eagle. $1790 for a 1oz PAMP Swiss Gold Bar. The problem seems to be finding 1oz swiss gold bars. EVERYONE buys them up but you can still get Eagles.
I find the bars have a lower premium but it depends on which country and dealer I suppose. I like the veriscan anti counterfeit technology on the Pamp Suisse bars.
what about british sovereign gold coins ? i am from Greece and for some reason a lot of people like them. also i think its the only gold coin i can buy from banks here.
Sure. It's a government-backed 24k gold coin. They aren't as popular as Canadian Maple Leafs (and definitely not as popular as US Mint coins), but they have a very low premium right now. Cheers!

@@2is1gold you weren’t “bad” here but the level of production is so starkly different I had to say something. Really goes to show how much the tiny details matter and come together to make something magnificent.
In my experience, scratches and dents do not affect affect my ability to resale buffalos or eagles. I have always been able to sell eagles back to coin shops for $10 over spot and usually get at least spot price for buffalos. As long as the weights reflect 1 oz scrap gold, the will give me the same quote regardless of condition because the are only concerned with the scrap gold value and not numismatic value.
jaden zheng I see and have been told more or less the same with Eagles and Buffalos as long as they’re in decent condition. (Maples are different in my experience.) Thanks for the info!
Yeah, scratches don't matter on any of the buillion coins. They give you melt or spot price when you sell them, regardless of appearance.
Love the 1/2 ounce as it has a higher premium but is produced in much lower Mintage. Hence, higher resale price.
This is my favourite of all your videos. I learned a lot from this and factored everything you said into my early stacking. Thanks!
Charon thanks for the comment - I appreciate it! Good luck with your stacking!
I really appreciate your sound investing advice. You really help me understand all the noise around the Gold community. There are talks its going to the moon, then there are talks its going down again.
I am glad there are people like you who tell me all the facts and can also advocate for both sides of view.
It is refreshing. I am calling 100K subscribers soon... calling less than 12 months.
Thank you! I really appreciate the comment!
I have some silver but plan on some Gold. That Buffalo looks pretty.
Love the positivity and laughter in your voice. Your voice makes me want to give free hugs 🤗 happy stacking
Hey, thanks!
The gold Britannia coin for me.
The other key I guess you can add is the premium of gold coins. That means the difference of spot price and buy price. Typically, maple is the lowest in these three, while buffalo is the highest in price. In that case I also recommend krugerrand as it is cheaper.
Krugerand is that South African
Cvetko Popov correct
I always look at the ability to use in an Emergency when I travel out of the States. I have Gold Clasps and wear American Eagles or Kugerands as Necklace's while Traveling. If I need Cash they really are recognized anywhere in the World. Since I can't Travel to buy Gold out of the U.S. I admire them on tbe Nightstand.
Im planning to get my first gold coin soon im gonna get a 1/10 oz maple leaf from apmex should be good just alot cheaper to me gold is gold
I have a copy golden double 1933 eagle want to i know if it has any value and if so what is it worth
I would also like to recommend two types of gold coins that ate not mentioned in the video. One is the British sovereign which is about 7.96 grams. It's an easy way to buy gold. It's also historical. It's got different monarchs on the back of the coins. The second coin I would like to recommend is the 50 pesos 1947 coin from Mexico. It's a 1.27 Oz gold coin. One of the most beautiful gold coins and it is a large gold coin. You don't believe me check it out on RUclips.
I love sovereigns! I only have 1, but it’s my only proof coin. I just love the design and I was willing to pay a little extra for the proof version. My dealer gave me a good price since he knew I’d been saving up for it for a while
@@Crocodile2873 : I think "Sovs" are the perfect size and price for most people and they're known all over the world so you will never have any problems selling them. I have 18 of them so far and will be buying more when / if the spot price drops.
I have a 1oz. Buffalo and I love it. I also have the 1/10, 1/4, 1/2oz. Eagles and they are good too. I have to say there is something about the 24k .9999 buffalo that I like better. The color is amazing, the design is amazing and it’s more pure. I feel like you can’t go wrong with a Buffalo. As a matter of fact that is the next video I’m putting out. It’s my 11th order in stacking. A 1oz. Gold buffalo. Hope you get a chance to check it out.
I'm an American and I don't like either American coins. The American Eagle is a collector item and does not need copper added to it because it isn't going anywhere. I don't like the Indian gold piece because it looks like a big glorified nickel. Now the gold maple leaf.....that's beautiful because it looks like royalty. And it is pure gold.
The AGE and the American Gold Buffalo both had to grow on me. The reason they're the *best* coins to buy is a lot less about their looks and more about their popularity. I agree with you on the Maples. They look fantastic, and I wish the US Mint would take note. Cheers!
Krugerrand for the win! And IMO is the most popular.
worldwide it is, this video is american centric.
@@robertoh.20 yeah most vids are
And you are correct about the Krugerrands. They're the first.....and they're well-respected......but I just don't like the copper color to them. Sure, the Eagle has some, but it's lightened by the silver content. Krugerrands are 100% copper for the alloy content. TOO coppery.
I think so too.
Because it's mixed with other metals the American gold eagle I would not purchase, The gold American Buffalo is far more attractive especially in its purity not mix with other metals. Queen Elizabeth pisses me off
I’m sure she’s bothered.
Got more gold than you will ever have.
My opinion would be the cattle... The gold buffalo in other words... doesn't hurt to have a herd of them!
Jãy Brøwñ a herd of Buffalo is a great plan!
I have a heard too!
Great video. I think the Kruggarrand and maple are the most popular coins on the planet. But 100% agree, if in United States buy eagles and buffalos.
You’re right in terms of lifetime sales. I wish I could go in and make a few edits to this video. Cheers!
50 pesos Mexican centenario gold coin for me Is the best. Then right under Is the 1 oz Maple leaf. 👍👍😎😎
Fractional low premium govt coin.....british sovereigns. Check out SD bullion. 5% over spot for the 1/4 and 1/2 oz. Well.....they're just a shade under those sizes. Best price anywhere on a fractional coin.
The buffalo and maple are both 24k but you didn't mention that the buffalos will be just as easy to scratch as the maples
Dub City Stacker the texture of the Buffalo is very different. The flat field or a field with perfect radial lines like the Maples have will show a scratch way more easily than than the molded field of the Buffalo. I’ve never noticed micro scratches on a Buffalo. I rarely do not notice them in Maples.
You make a good point, well said.
I would select the coins based on the premium and price spread. This may differ across the globe.
I love the buffalo but for sure prefer to buy American Eagles every weight.
Yeah, I prefer to buy the Buffalo at 1oz, but I know the AGE is the smart choice, especially at fractional size.
I wouldn’t knock any of them back but I do like the Buffalo.👍
I live in Panama. Here you see a lot of Canadian gold maples. You see a lot of Krugerands. When you want to buy gold here you have to buy what is available. Many times the coins are older. Or, sometimes the coins are not in perfect condition as well. If they weigh out correctly and you can get them at a good price, you buy them. I feel that later on in the US, it will be the same way. Currently there are not many gold owners in the US. When gold becomes more in demand, and it will, people are going to complain less about the scratches and just be happy to have the opportunity to own some gold. Since people are just now waking up to the fact that owning gold coins is a must you do have the opportunity for now, to be picky and make sure you only own the most desirable bullion coins with the least amount of scratches. Take advantage of this if you can. If gold becomes hard to find though, buy those Kruggerands and Mexican Peso gold coins. There is nothing wrong with them.
Glen H thanks for the perspective. I’m always interested to hear what it’s like in other regions.
Words of wisdom, everyone should heed your words very carefully.
We're picky with scratches because if we sold our scratched coin to a coin or bullion shop, they would pay you less for it. But yeah, gold is gold scratches shouldn't matter, but they do if you sell them.
@@lamarravery4094 Buy gold coins while you can with no scratches. As time goes on this will matter less as there will be less coins out there for sale. Where I live, a few scratches don't matter. Gold is hard to find so a few scratches don't deter me. I buy older gold coins if that is all there is. Like the old kruggerands etc or older gold maples. Maples get scratched. No two ways around it. If a coin is scruffy, try to get a little discount.
@@glenh4971 Thanks for the advise. There will be a time when gold can't be bought, either because it's too expensive or they were all bought up. Right now, I'm waiting for a pull back, I want to get it under $2,000 one last time.
My first gold coin is 1909 D $5 Indian head. Love this coin and the history in it
Nice!
@@2is1gold you like those Indian head pre 55 gold coins?
I was buying krugerrands back in 1972-75 while in the military for $38-$42 dollars each. Back then it was illegal for americans to buy and own them because of the South African policy of racial apartheid. Well I bought 5 of them every month for 4yrs. 48 months × 5 monthly= 240 coins. They cost me roughly
Scott Ouellette WOW!
I decided in an envious way I absolutely hate you now but I so want to be you😂😂. You held those coins through good times and bad but you never were at a loss. It just shows you what inflation has done to the purchasing power of the dollar. What tremendous foresight you had. I'm hoping that 20 years from I will be making the comments you made and someone will be say that they think $20,000 a coin is too high🤣🤣🤣
@@gerrykelly-zk6lf Kelly I am very fortunate and grateful for my life. I am not complaining hear me out. I lived in foster homes until I joined the military at age 17. I spent 20yrs.
@JUSTICE ChargeD4Officers You never know.
Perfect! Thank you. I appreciate the straight-forwardness of where to put the money to make it work. I am doing what your video is showing, which are the non-numismatic bullions. I just want to build wealth. And I think both gold and silver eagles (since I'm in the US) is going to be the best. You pay for the premium for the eagle, but you get it back when having to sell them. It takes much less effort and you get closer to spot than generics or the others. That's my game. Save, save, save, and then let my children inherit and hopefully continue the saving ritual.
Spot On. I’m actually weird and am quite a fan of the Eagle’s color but I think just having 1 in the 1 oz variety is the ticket and going for the Buffs whenever possible is the better long term option. 24K is the way of the future with Asia’s population and preference for purity. I also say that as we cannot currently stack a Fractional Buffalo (I’m not talking the broken set way overpriced ones on eBay) and so I’m relegated to stacking Eagles In all the fractional weights I want to build weight in as well so it’s also a variety play. Great vid sir
Florida Stacker my personal brand of weird is a compulsion to have an even split between Eagles and Buffalos. I’m even at the moment, so a Buffalo is the next one up for me. If 1/4oz Buffalos were still a thing, that might be all I’d stack from here on out!
Great information. Thank you.
You have a couple of other options as well. For example is the Austrian Philharmoniker a really good bullion coin, and it is also nice to look at. Another good bullion coin is the Krugerand from South Africa. Each coin contains one troy ounce of gold, but it is a few grams heavier, and that extra weight is copper mixed with the gold.
Which one is better... The Eagle or the Buffalo coin? Please help!
American Gold Eagles are more popular in the US, but they're both great. If you want a 24k coin, go with the Buffalo. If it doesn't matter to you, go with the Eagle. Good luck!
Gorgeous coins/stack and great Video! I think it’s worth mentioning that the 1 oz gold philharmonic isn’t a bad option either. It’s pretty well known internationally, 24k, and has the lowest premium I can find for a well known minted 1 oz gold coin. Very affordable with all the great perks. Looking forward to your next uploads!
Dan Philharmonics are beautiful coins. I stick with North American coins, but you’re right about their reputation. Thanks for the comment!
Any is the best pick
I agree that buying US gold coins is the most sensible living in America and I do buy mostly eagles... but, I also love the philharmonics.. I like them better for 24k fractionals better than the maple leaf... also, I doubt that you would really have a problem selling them anywhere, since (of course) they ARE in fact gold...lol
Philharmonics are well-known enough that any dealer will pick them up without hesitation. Maples have the edge on them here for general awareness if you run a private sale, though, and dealers in my area will pay a little more for Maples. They’re like Britannias and Kangaroos, though. Stack ‘em if you like ‘em!
Maple, Buffalo then Eagle in that order. Gold purity matters to me, low premiums and aesthetics are my measures.
Don’t forget about the American Liberty gold coin , 24k purity also has $100 denomination. It’s a more obscure modern coin. Should be same premium as an eagle or buffalo. Purity matters to me as well. I just don’t like alloyed gold.
IMHO, a Britannia, Maple Leaf, Eagle, Philharmonic, or Kruggerand with the LEAST premium. At the end of the day you are buying an ounce of Gold, not a rare coin. Now a coin is worth a small premium over a bar for liquidity reasons. BUT, do not pay insane premiums over spot for any coin.
Everything you mentioned is common and well-known. When I recorded the video, you could find Eagles for about $10-$20 more than the others you mentioned, and you could get $20 or more back in a sale, so Eagles covered the spread. They also have the widest buyer population, so they're the way to go if you don't know what to grab. None of the coins you mentioned are bad choices in my mind, though. Thanks!
Krügerrand is the most popular goldcoin.
Yiddisch Connection most popular where?
@@2is1gold worldwide
It was. Canadian maple leaf is now probably accepted worldwide, the world likes Canada over the USA.
As USA yes, maybe , but USA not all world and as we want to buy as cheap as possible and also we buy for investment and stacking and not to speculate or resell, also try get at closer at spot price and dont pay to much over- australian nuggets are the best. Hard to find coin with 999.999 purity closer to spot price than perth kangaroos. 2nd austrian philharmonic.And also they both are well know world wide.
The Gold Maple Leaf is the best coin of the three. It's got the lowest premium and it's the cheapest of the three coins on average - you don't believe me check JM Bullion, Provident Metals. It's .9999 pure or 24 carat has mentioned in the video. It also its got a security feature, so it cannot be counterfeited as easily as an Eagle and a Buffalo. Just my thoughts and yeah I am bias because I am from Canada. American coins are not always the best coins to buy even if you live in America.
gold maple I posted a video recently about another Maple I picked up. It’s a fantastic coin. It’s a distant second to Eagles and Buffalos here in terms of demand, though.
@@2is1gold I can understand that most Americans would buy Eagles and they would be most popular in the United States. However, have you checked the prices lately. You are better off buying Maples because they are 24 carat, they are also cheaper in the United States right now than Eagles. They do not get scratched as easily as much as before.
@@goldmaple4360 I have, and I agree that Maples are much better priced. I'm not done buying Maples. I just try to hold U.S. Mint coins as my primary.
I've always wanted a gold coin and I'm finally in a place to buy one. I've searched and the only gold coin that meets my expectations of what will likely be my only gold coin for life is the 2017 Gold Swan. Elegant, minimal, broadly appealing, and has a timeless beauty. And Elizabeth's profile, not Charles's. Everything a gold coin should be. Seriously, does anyone really WANT a pig or ugly face on their gold coin? Sorry to be crass, but that's how I feel, and wanted to get it off my chest.
I started about 5 years ago listening to people talk about gold and happened onto ITM Trading and Lynette Zang. She was very informative and convinced me to buy numismatics and so I did and then after some looking around found out I paid way over premium. I then asked them if I could send them back and buy the Gold Eagles as I didn't really want collectibles but was convinced that they wouldn't be confiscated by Zang which she now says it could happen.
They wouldn't do it and told me that I was informed that all sales were final but I still can't see why they wouldn't do it if they thought the numismatics was so great and I was willing to pay their premium on the gold eagles. So now I'm basically stuck with them but hoping that at some point their price goes higher as people jump into the market as they did in 2011 and I can sell them and buy or exchange them for gold eagles. The coins were appraised by MIlesFranlin so I didn't get screwed there at least. I could have bought more coins for the amount of money I paid for the numismatics. Don't be fooled by all of the economics and politics that people use to get you to buy their product. All they had to do was exchange my coins and everyone would be happy but no they decided that their profit margin was more important than the customer. Done
Sorry to hear about that!
The Austrian Philharmonic is a great option.
Agreed!
The best one to buy is the ones u can afford 🤔 ,the sovereign takes some beating as not only can you sell in coin stores ,but collecters will pay a premium for older ones 👍
That’s for the advice my friend.
Tks I just started n yjis video was very helpful
Number one coin is the krugerrand!!
Sold the most! Over 50,000,000 worldwide
The most beautiful gold coin is the BUFFALO.
The best coin for anti-counterfeiting is the British Britannia 2021
There have definitely been a lot of Krugerrands sold over the past 53 years. No question.
GOLD IS GOLD is GOLD...any 1oz coin is fine. probably with lowest premium. That way you can ding the hell out of it and still get spot for it when you sell it.
Mileage may vary. That wasn't my experience.
@@2is1gold You actually had a dealer not willing to pay you spot because of a blemish. That is unheard of. I would never do business with them again. It's GOLD, the value is in the metal, not the form. You are better off selling on facebook marketplace then in the future.
All great coins! The gold Buffalo is the cream of the crop; especially in the US. Always recommend pure gold
For its purity and beauty. It’s 100! The gold eagle is great; however, I don’t care for the reverse so much. It’s a little to busy. Hopeful they simplify it in 2021 to resemble the original double eagle design. I recommend putting all
coins in the airtite capsules so the added copper content for it’s durability isn’t much of a concern. It is neat and good to have if there ever comes a time that these coins need to be circulated.
Love the Buffalo, but I’m looking forward to the 2021 Eagles too! Cheers!
2 is 1 Great video by the way. I’m hoping the mint will reissue the gold buffalo fractional coins. I’m looking forward to those as well. Great hobby, investment and store of wealth. Keep stacking man!
justludicrous thanks! I’d love to see the Buffalo quarters rereleased too!
Gold Buffalos & American Eagle are exempt from filling IRS tax form when it comes to selling.
@@scotttild unless it was lost in an unfortunate boating accident 🤣
@@scotttild not quite. You don’t have to file any tax forms when buying or selling eagles or buffalos. But you still have to claim it as capital gains. Filing tax forms and claiming capital gains are two different things.
@@SergiuM42 Am I missing something or is there simply no way anyone can tell how much I bought it for, then sold it for, if I walk in with a piece of metal in my hand??????
Great videos!
Thank you!
Why would the Maple Leafs be harder to sell when I heard that it's internationally accepted and sellable?
Lucky Winner I’ve never had trouble selling a Maple. Local coin shops in the United States just don’t pay as much for them.
He said if they are damaged some people freak out if their pretty Coin gets scratched. Not me Gold is gold as long as they are minor abrasions I will buy them. As long as the weight is not affected. This guy did a nice presentation for New Gold savers. What I have learned over the years is my Wife likes Gold. So if I buy her Earrings I will throw in a Half Ounce Eagle. She says nothing. And remember many woman can't or won't save. I have always treated my gold as my Savings Account. I always have money to fall back on if I need the plumber, need a car repair. I can sell gold anytime and always more than what I purchased it at as of this writing. Everyone's situation is different but Gold & Silver is my Place Marker in Life.
@@bustbeel1 Dealers make money on premium. so they will just reduce your premium over spot when they buy a 'damaged' coin from you. BUT the lowest premium coin you can find (which should be less than 4%) and just eat the cost and expect spot when you sell it back.
I just don't buy the idea of Gold Eagles. You pay so much to the U.S. Mint for the privilege of marginally more liquidity. But to get liquidity from gold, you need a buyer who understands gold, and most buyers who understand Gold Eagles will understand almost any other form of bullion grade coin, too.
I'm trying to buy a tangible asset, not a seal of approval from the government.
I've found that there are a fair amount of people (here in the U.S.) who recognize the American Gold Eagle (and American Silver Eagle) but have no clue whatsoever about any other coin. I get your point, though. Cheers!
@@2is1gold So in the US there are lots of people that do know the American Gold Eagle, but not the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Krugerrand or even the American Buffalo? In that case I would certainly go for the American Gold Eagle if I were living in America.
@@maxsiem77 right. People who buy regularly will absolutely know CMLs and Krugs (and Philharmonics, Britannias, Kangaroos, etc.) but that's such a small part of the population.
You always get that Thumbs-up brother. I am trying to decide on what to buy today. A tube of silver buffalos or a quarter ounce eagle...
What say you sir?

Glad it was helpful!
Great review. Very informative. Fractional US gold is the way to go. Thanks.
Eagle fractionals (1/4 & 1/2 oz.) are .9167 pure vs the .999 pure 1 oz. Eagle. Canadian Maples are always .9999 even if it is a 1, 1/4 or 1/2 oz. Seems like a no brainer to not have anything less than .999 fine purity. Otherwise, why not just buy 22 kt jewelry? The Eagles already carry a heavier premium. Seems like the Maples are the way to go IMO.
Mike Elbow What you say makes sense. I stack for SHTF scenario. I think people in the US might be hesitant to barter with maple leafs. Just my thoughts.
@@gmajors2237 I partially agree, but both can be counterfeited and both mints are just as credible and World renowned. In SHTF people will be trading their 14k family heirlooms and ear rings if they have to and suddenly people may not care if a coin has a Maple Leaf or and Eagle on it. As long as its purity and content can be verified, that is all that will matter. Not arguing with you. It is just a thought. I have never been in a SHTF situation so I honestly don't know.
@@mcleb84 True, I did not think about the counterfeit aspect. Great point.
Any advice on living in Ireland on what the best coin would be, the Brittania?

It’s called kangaroo
Juraj Benak well I’m calling it a “jump animal” from here on out! 😁
Juraj Benak lol, I really couldnt remember the name when i was writing this comment 😂
How come you don’t like Krugerands? Was thinking about getting one as I love the color. Do they come in 1/4 or 1/10?
I don't particularly like the copper tone of the Krugerrands, and I've had a few run ins with fake Krugs. That's all personal. Krugerrands are a great option. Cheers!
Swiss Helvetia 20 francs is one of the best bangs for the buck as far as gold content vs premiums. Great little coins for adding gold to your stack on a budget.
I'm on the fence on coming back to LMU coins. I had trouble selling 20 francs Roosters in the past.
Great rundown. Even though you love the Buff, you gave a great description of the Eagle and the benefits of the Cupro-Silver alloy which 'hardens' and strengthens the Eagle. 22-Kt or not, I prefer the Eagles. As you said, EVERYONE knows them. And you'll get tops for it. ANYWHERE in the World.
Thanks!
Not everywhere in the world...
Tops in the US
Coins have numismatic value on top of gold value so 1oz coin of a particular year is worth more than just a 1oz bar of the same year. Coins are minted by a country with a value and have different tax laws vs bars because they are money. I keep all of them. Liberty eagles for cash here, but I am keeping some Canadians if I ever have to leave the country and Krugerrands are recognized in any country in the world and can be converted to cash of that country in an instant.
ditpook I like having Maples as a secondary option as well. Makes good sense.
Not really true with gold haha. Look at the gold bar prices vs coins, gold bars are always more expensive..
@@calvingrace2538 Not right now at JM bullion. $1830 for a 1oz Gold Eagle. $1790 for a 1oz PAMP Swiss Gold Bar. The problem seems to be finding 1oz swiss gold bars. EVERYONE buys them up but you can still get Eagles.
I find the bars have a lower premium but it depends on which country and dealer I suppose. I like the veriscan anti counterfeit technology on the Pamp Suisse bars.
I live in Europe, so it is Sovereign's which are good anywhere on the planet and Britannia's.
Think also about philharminicas is well
Very nice... real money
what about british sovereign gold coins ?
i am from Greece and for some reason a lot of people like them.
also i think its the only gold coin i can buy from banks here.
Oh I gotta watch this one!
How about the Australian kangaroo coin? Is that a good investment for someone in the US?
Sure. It's a government-backed 24k gold coin. They aren't as popular as Canadian Maple Leafs (and definitely not as popular as US Mint coins), but they have a very low premium right now. Cheers!
Definitely the American gold Buffalo

@@2is1gold you think it's a good time to buy gold right now? Premiums are ridiculously high.
