Came to say the same ;) Last i bought gold was 2024 when it was 2500 CAD... I was waiting and hoping it dropped down it did.. then shortly later skyrocketed to 3800 CAD. Happy Stackin eh!
Before I see the whole video, my reason for not buying Gold Eagles is simple. Love the back, nice eagle. But as much as everyone claims is beautiful, I don't care for it at all. Buffalos are by far more beautiful.
I’m working my way towards my first ounce. Found a cheaper way than 10 x 1/10th Gold Eagles. 8 x 1Austrian Ducet and 1 x 1/2 British Sovereign. I spend about $300 less than buying 10 of the Eagles and end with 1.0025 ounce.
While most people can afford a full ounce gold coin it requires *much* more discipline than a 1/10th ounce which will generally fit nicely into most budgets. Thanks, Silver Heist!
I myself have switched to 1/10 oz coins,krugs and brits, cheaper than eagles,i almost always was getting 1 oz but im happy with the weight i got so starting to scale back,been stashing cash also, crazy how You go in different directions over the yrs, Happy New Year everyone
No thanks, the premiums on the 1/10 are to high, you never get that back when you sell. Save your money until you can afford 1 oz. And shop around for low premiums on those also.
I can't afford a 1 oz gold coin, at least not without saving money for it. However, I don't want to not not have gold so I buy 1/10th Gold Britannias every month. I have 11 of those and I want 9 more and hopefully by the time I have saved enough for a American Gold Buffalo. I care more about purity, and yes yes the Gold Eagles have a full ounce of gold...I like simplicity. Now I am buying tubes of American Silver Eagles. They get good price when you sell. Hoping to complete a monster box of those in 2025! Saving up for a house and this is a fun way to do so! My many thanks to you, SH. You've shown stackers like me that fractionals are the way!
Balance CHECKED! I just can’t ‘chase’ the price of a full oz of gold for weeks and months. I’m perfectly content with buying 1/10 ounce and quarter ounce gold when they’re on sale.
@ lately I’ve been finding 1/10 gold ounce coins at $280 but I try to keep myself under a certain percentage of premium, the same with 1/4 oz -680 is doable, I know they’ll both go back up and cover that cost
I just ordered a 2024 American Eagle One Ounce Gold Uncirculated Coin West Point from the mint 2 days before listening to this video after I saw in Coin News that only 2740 had been sold so far.
It’s a good looking coin. Yours is a special minted collectible one. Not sure how the mintages of those mintmark W ones in capsules compare year to year.
@@SilverHeist According to CoinNews 2019 sales were 5851, 2020 sales were 6284, 2021 sales were 9063, 2022 sales were 8900, 2023 sales are 6521 and 2024 sales are 2740 as of their December 27 printing date.
Gold doubling would mean the market cap would need to go from 18 Trillion to 36 Trillion. Bitcoin doubling would mean the market cap would go from 2 Trillion to 4 Trillion. It's simple math, Bitcoin has more potential for growth than Gold.
@@TheMostSlyFox Central banks are buying gold, not bitcoin. Bitcoin is more related to the stockmarket so if/when the stockmarket drops, I believe bitcoin will as well. I therefore have to disagree with you😊
I also stopped stacking one ounce gold eagles at the end of 2008 and switched to stacking silver. On March 18, 2020, I traded all my gold for silver when the GSR was 128.75 to 1. That trade has now tripled in value. I've never paid more than 14.50 an ounce for silver till July of 2022.
🤣🤣🤣 No stacking today! Took my 10-year-old daughter to see the Home Alone house in person (which is about 75 minutes from where we live). She's a big fan of the movie and just received the $300 Lego set for Christmas...😱
The halves are my favorite size gold eagles . I prefer to buy those when I can . When I can’t afford them (and some months I can’t ) I go for the 1/10th and quarters
I like 1 oz eagles, even though the premiums are typically higher. But I like them at $2000 spot, not at $2700. I will buy again when price comes down.
High prices have shook out a lot of eagles. Dealers have to move through these so not as much need for new supply. Sounds like a healthy market with the deals on random years.
Pretty amazing drop. As I've been saying all year, demand doesn't support spot, for silver or gold. It's like they're just trying to make it harder for us to buy it, in a reverse of the traditional argument that the markets are artificially being held down, the price is being inflated.
The unit price for 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10th ounce coins is much higher that for one ounce coins. If you’re buying gold as a hedge against inflation, it doesn’t make sense to buy smaller deniminations.
Isn't looking at mintages the wrong metric? I mean, how many coins were minted (decided by the US Mint) isn't directly related to the number of coins bought by people... so it's not necessarily the same thing, is it?
It’s the public info I can get, and it does change year to year. If people in both 2023 and 2024 were selling old coins to local coin stores and others were buying old coins from local coin stores, then the new minted ones meet the demand not met by the churning. New coins Seem representative of the overall unmet demand and vary year to year.
I prefer 1/2 AGE generally, as they are similar size & weight to what used to be our gold currency unit before 1933: the $10 Gold Eagle. They also tend to have more reasonable premiums compared to the 1/4 and 1/10 oz coins.
I always like seeing the numbers! This guy is holding and watching. I'm pretty content with what I have, but I am willing to splurge should an opportunity arise. Smash for you, kind sir.
I've always tried to buy bulk based on premiums/cost average. Now what I've found is that it's harder to sell 1oz peer-to-peer just because of the overall price, LCS will mostly offer spot or less when selling back. Sadly, fractionals are more liquid than 1oz even though they come with a higher front end premium, can still get a bit more on the back end. That's why I only have fractional gold now.

Buying 1/10 oz is foolish IMO, because the cost per oz is way higher. The only advantages I can think of, is they'd be easier to "spend" if we ever get to the point where that's actually a _thing,_ and they're easier to conceal. If that's what the "crowd" is doing these days, that's a pretty strong indication to me that it's _not_ what the smart people should be doing.
There’s two major camps. Full Oz and 1/10 oz. The main difference is the size of the savings available for gold. Although some save multiple months before buying the Oz. Stack what works for you.
The problem with One Ounce Gold Eagles the high premiums running about $100 to $150 that’s to high. Personally rather purchase Raw Pre-33 Gold & Mexico Gold Pesos with low premiums. I’ll keep purchasing more Silver on the low dips each week it’s more affordable.
Good morning, Heist. as for me, I haven't bought a full oz in some time. Fractional is the most doable these days. Stacking little by little as I'm able. Cheers ☕️ and happy Sunday.
Once they went over $2000 I stopped. Then I went into silver until they got stupid with the premiums. Im currently sitting on my holdings waiting for both to tank so I can get more.
Happy New Year to you as well I keep trying to put out videos but I have video block (writers block) hopefully I’ll figure it out lol 😂 thanks for the video always great content my friend
Considering the premium of gold coins less than 1 ounce, silver is a better deal. At $300+ for 1/10 oz gold coin, might as well get silver rounds/bars.
The government is going wacko... A lot of people, myself included, have no money to buy anything like gold! But besides that, it's better to get pure gold which cannot be identified by its alloy content and doesn't have to be refined, in case the government bans gold again. Furthermore, fractional pieces would be much better if the monetary system breaks down!
Premiums are relative. Premiums combined with the vendor makes the difference. People are posting that they are getting gold bars under spot at Costco once you factor in credit card cash back. That is what makes PAMP low premium.
@ wow! I’ve clearly been doing wrong 😎 For most bullion buyers of PAMP, we cartwheel with excitement when premiums are 40% off from the big online dealers
I've been stacking tenth ounce coins when I can get them below a five percent premium. I don't find American Eagles under five percent, but Britannia and Maple Leaf coins are available. These coins are inexpensive enough to buy with my current cash flow, and that is the main reason I buy them. They fit within my cash flow.
Without watching I’ll say: the silver to gold ratio (89:1) is ridiculous. Silver is unbelievably cheap compared to gold and it’s been doing better than gold.
Thanks for keeping it real, Silver Heist. Way too many tinfoilhats out there, so it's refreshing to see reasonable, common sense commentary. Glad to see you're a fan of First Majestic, one of my favourites, and I'm especially glad to see your emphasis on value stacking. Fractional is the way forward for more and more people. Thank you !
I think the main reason why private investors didn´t buy AGE is that they don´t trust the high prices ("What goes up, must come down"). And another reason is as simple as that: they can´t afford it ! On both sides of the Atlantic, 75 % of folks are living from paycheck from paycheck and are not able to purchase PM in higher denominations. Just my 2 cents. Greets from GER, U.
Consider this. I bought oz silver Britannia in June this year. Yet today in 30.12.2024 the value of difference between bought - sell (3.5 BGN ) and I'm not in the green (proffit)
I have some full oz GAE, but have always prefer fractionals. I imagine the higher prices in 2024 kept some men from buying one ounce eagles. Other gold offerings like PAMP and Maples, etc took some of the one ounce market. Good insight on a vital subject.
Economic squeezes just as gold requires more dollars to purchase inflated priced essentials. I have now only 12 x 1oz coins and to find a buyer prepared to pay anywhere near spot prices, wont be found as easily. However when it comes to fractionals, i can sell any amount close to spot.
Why would we want to buy eagles or buffalos when we can get other gold coins, rounds, or bars with less of a premium? Gold, in general, is universally recognized as money.
i can only afford 1/10 when im buy constantly but like a lot of stackers when i get a few extra $$ ill splurge on a 1/4. as a canadain i stack maples though. keep stacking everyone
I been put off by the one ounce because of the great expense. When I buy gold it's in the quarter or 10th ounce. Or I buy more silver. Gold is shifting in my reasoning to buy gold calling it the metal of oligarchs. Silver is the money of the people.
Costco has nothing to do with it. The eagles are too expensive, above the spot price of gold. Folks can’t afford them and have better options of pure Canadian maples for example.
2024 was perfect storm of expensive one oz eagles and a re-assessment of options whether gold maples or Costco gold bars under spot (with credit card points).
..instead .. change & convert to stacking those one-kilo size weight 999.9 purity Gold Bullion Bars .. the premium is really as low as 0.5% to 1.0% over spot to purchase .. same as selling !.
Personally, I prefer to buy 1/4 Eagles; I've had an obsession with quarters since I was a kid. After stacking gold bars/coins, silver, and platinum, I know now that I really only want to own either gold or silver eagles; I'll pay more to get the gov. issued stuff, I don't care.
I have some of these Eagles but I've been stacking the Buffalos because I like 100% gold with no silver in it for most of my stack. Still stacking silver bars too.
The premiums on gold eagles are rediculious. I got an Argor Heras Kine bar for 70 dollars less. There isnt any practical advantage buying gold coins over bullion.
I think the drop in demand is because of the premium the mint charges. The mint charges a crazy high premium. People would rather buy a pre-1933 coin for the gold content from a coin dealer than the Mint. .
If the mint wanted to sell more 1 oz eagles they just needed to sell them to Costco, no way I will pay 200 or more dollars on a diff website for the same coin at costco.
I love eagles but Costco has the best deals. Bars and rounds. 4% back. The gold game is changing. Transfer of wealth from sellers to buyers. The rich are buying gold. The poor needs to sell.
@@TheMostSlyFoxwould people even trust crypto in the long run if the dollar printed to death . The likes of bitcoin is priced by a very few but incredibly wealthy individuals. Meanwhile the rest of the world’s strongest economies are buying up gold like no tomorrow. Also if America plans to buy crypto with gold reserves it makes sense they’ll want gold to skyrocket & also buy crypto when much lower . Time will tell.
Love Maples too with the mirror like portrait. If you want .9999 buy Buffalos. The older ones did not stack well for some reason. They seemed to have an irregular edge to them. The newer years seem to have at least partially fixed this.
Because they're really friggin' expensive?
Bingo!

@@5ivestring the Gold Buffalo has *two* iconic designs! Heads and Tails.
I love buffalos too. I even was lucky enough to buy the reverse proof version. Besides, I don't like some pagan bitch on my coins.

I agree with this. We need to stop pretending everyone is "broke" and can't afford things.
I prefer the buffaloes rather than the eagles.
Don't forget that some folks may simply be switching to Buffalos or to a lower premium 1oz gold coin/bar/round.
I believe the Costco Pamp bar at a cheap price is a part of the story in the drop of full oz gold eagle mintages.
Buying both silver and gold. They just keep printing more money.
Good plan!

Hard to dig any deeper. But 900,000 gold one ozs coins in 2023 dropping to under 300,000 gold one oz in 2024 is a big move down.

@@jerkojalsovec by the tube preferably
Bought mostly quarters in 2024; shifting to tenths in 2025.
Two great coins! Happy New Year!
I have some full oz GAE, but have always prefer fractionals.
I imagine the higher prices in 2024 kept some men from buying one ounce eagles.
Other gold offerings like PAMP and Maples, etc took some of the one ounce market.
Good insight on a vital subject.
Economic squeezes just as gold requires more dollars to purchase inflated priced essentials.
I have now only 12 x 1oz coins and to find a buyer prepared to pay anywhere near spot prices, wont be found as easily.
However when it comes to fractionals, i can sell any amount close to spot.
GOLD Fractionals have their benefits for sure !

Great scene!
Expensive, people want smaller amounts to be easier to use, and many buying silver, and finally the others are broke.
Why would we want to buy eagles or buffalos when we can get other gold coins, rounds, or bars with less of a premium? Gold, in general, is universally recognized as money.
Gold is money! Indeed!
If you cannot afford 1 ozt gold coin, you don't have wealth to preserve.
Wealth is relative. If a man has 1 oz or ten ozs of fractional gold … $2600 to $26,000 is REAL money to him.
Heist sporting some extra fluffy Christmas hair. 🎅
I need a hair cut! Maybe tomorrow!
i can only afford 1/10 when im buy constantly but like a lot of stackers when i get a few extra $$ ill splurge on a 1/4. as a canadain i stack maples though. keep stacking everyone
I been put off by the one ounce because of the great expense. When I buy gold it's in the quarter or 10th ounce. Or I buy more silver. Gold is shifting in my reasoning to buy gold calling it the metal of oligarchs. Silver is the money of the people.
I like the fractional gold and the silver. Maybe some day I will trade for the bigger gold ounce coins.
I am still buying!!!
Good man!
Costco has nothing to do with it. The eagles are too expensive, above the spot price of gold. Folks can’t afford them and have better options of pure Canadian maples for example.
2024 was perfect storm of expensive one oz eagles and a re-assessment of options whether gold maples or Costco gold bars under spot (with credit card points).
Costco also sells the 1oz gold esgles. They sell out within 12 hours is the issue. So far i got 4.
..instead .. change & convert to stacking those one-kilo size weight 999.9 purity Gold Bullion Bars .. the premium is really as low as 0.5% to 1.0% over spot to purchase .. same as selling !.
That’s nice … but first stackers need 32 ounces of gold!
Personally, I prefer to buy 1/4 Eagles; I've had an obsession with quarters since I was a kid.
After stacking gold bars/coins, silver, and platinum, I know now that I really only want to own either gold or silver eagles; I'll pay more to get the gov. issued stuff, I don't care.
A man should buy what he likes!
Keep stacking.
I have some of these Eagles but I've been stacking the Buffalos because I like 100% gold with no silver in it for most of my stack. Still stacking silver bars too.
All gold in your gold coins is a nice option to have!
Keep stacking.
I don't buy eagles unless i can get them very close to spot!
Then you will never be buying Eagles.
Lol. Bought plenty of them and umder spot. Lol. Been stacking a while kid..@Abraham.Lincoln22
Buffalos are nicer. Inflation made 1 oz coins so expensive. The new mint isn’t as appealing.
Buffalos are a great option for those with the budget for the full oz. Otherwise the smaller and smallest gold eagle may be the way.
The premiums on gold eagles are rediculious. I got an Argor Heras Kine bar for 70 dollars less. There isnt any practical advantage buying gold coins over bullion.
I like coins, it’s the high spot price and my budget that limits what size I get.
Keep Stacking.
The beginning 😂
😂😂🤣
I think the drop in demand is because of the premium the mint charges. The mint charges a crazy high premium. People would rather buy a pre-1933 coin for the gold content from a coin dealer than the Mint. .
Peace and Prosperity. How to value Silver and Coins??? Do you buy coins pounds and Euripean Coins??? Thanks.
Man that geiger gram is a beautiful piece
Indeed! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
I don’t like eagles I buy strictly gold Buffalo’s
Buffalos are nice for sure!
Bought a 2024 tube of the 1/10 ounce gold eagles, plan to buy 2025 tube of the 1/10th eagles first of Jan.
If the mint wanted to sell more 1 oz eagles they just needed to sell them to Costco, no way I will pay 200 or more dollars on a diff website for the same coin at costco.
The premium is to high for the smaller coins
High premiums relative to other sizes, But more than half of the 2024 eagles were 1/10 size.
The only Gold coin I would buy is the Britannia as it's the only coin I can guarantee legitimate without a metal analytics machine.
Security against fakes is important.
I love eagles but Costco has the best deals. Bars and rounds. 4% back. The gold game is changing. Transfer of wealth from sellers to buyers. The rich are buying gold. The poor needs to sell.
Każdy w końcu sprzeda - po to kupował. Albo zrobią to spadkobiercy.
Nic w tym dziwnego.
The rich are not buying gold, they are buying crypto.
@@TheMostSlyFox2% of the crypto whales own 95% of btc. The rest of us buy gold. Btc is a locked up game already.
@@TheMostSlyFoxwould people even trust crypto in the long run if the dollar printed to death . The likes of bitcoin is priced by a very few but incredibly wealthy individuals. Meanwhile the rest of the world’s strongest economies are buying up gold like no tomorrow. Also if America plans to buy crypto with gold reserves it makes sense they’ll want gold to skyrocket & also buy crypto when much lower . Time will tell.
Maples are prettier. So are Brittanias and Germanias. I wish they would make AGE’s gold instead of alloy.
Maples have incredible detail ! Gold and silver ones.
Love Maples too with the mirror like portrait. If you want .9999 buy Buffalos. The older ones did not stack well for some reason. They seemed to have an irregular edge to them. The newer years seem to have at least partially fixed this.
1/4 oz gold eagle once a month for me! Ill get there eventually 🎉❤
We have similar stacking budgets but I'm silver heavy and get a tenth ounce in gold and spend the rest on ounces of silver eagles.
Too heavy on silver, and Gold so expensive, I'm on hold until I see a clear direction for either metal. Hoping for a narrowing of the Ag/Au ratio.
