In America I'd say the Buffalo then the Eagle. Overall the Britannia wins it for me with the security features and being pure gold. My problem with the gold maple is that the silver maple looks more stunning 🤣
I am with you. Brittania is absolutely gorgeous. Not a big fan of the buffalo. Do not see the appeal compared to the detail and security features of the britt
I truly admire your discipline. I made many financial mistakes in my twenties. Watching you has given me inspiration to get my affairs in order (among other things). When you stop spending for today, and instead save for the future, it completely changes the way you look at life. People need to stop thinking that having personal discipline means they have to stop having fun or enjoying life.
I started out as a collector of coins so I love pre 33 gold. Way more valuable than just melt and I love the history behind them. I stack constitutional silver but almost all the gold for me are pre 33...
The Krugerrand is a world standard bullion coin and globally recognized and accepted. Currently the premiums aren't crazy so I would put it higher on the stacker list
The krugerrand is very expensive to buy in Canada because it is taxable upon buying because of its purity. So it costs an extra like $140 or so to buy on top of spot and the premium. I'd love to get one someday but not any time soon
My overall Rankings: 1. Britannia 2. Buffalo 3. Eagle 4. Maple Leaf 5. Krugerrand 6. Liberty 7. Kangeroo 8. Libertad 9. Panda 10. Philharmonic On a different day I could easily choose the Buffalo or Gold Eagle as my number 1, especially since I live in America. The Britannia is just perfection imo, and it usually has a better premium than the AGE, Buffalo, or Maple. I’m not as down on the Libertad as Yankee, but I wouldn’t pay the normal premium for one either. I would never stack a Philharmonic when I could get a Maple Leaf or Britannia at the same price. The Krugerrand’s ruggedness is appealing as a change up as it would likely make the best currency out of all of these. I like the Panda design, and we can have disdain for China all we want, but if we’re ever using gold as currency again, then there is a high probability that the Chinese will be a top trading partner of ours. The Kangeroo is okay, but like the Philharmonic, it’s a step below its competition imo. The Libertys are an interesting coin. I know some like Bill Holter highly recommend the Liberty for confiscation reasons. At the end of the day, an ounce of gold is an ounce of gold. The lower the premium the better, though I do prefer gold coins to bars or rounds.
My brother just got me a gold 1oz 2023 buffalo from Apmex as a emergency savings . Awesome idea right .. I am not great with cash so this is safer to hold onto for long term
Its funny over here in NZ, Kangaroos and Maples are probably the best 1oz coins to stack as the American stuff has huge premiums. Also Gold sovereigns are pretty good to buy with the lowest premiums for fractional gold.
i missed this somehow glad it popped up in my feed. i buy silver from all around the world but when it comes to gold, all i buy are buffalos, eagles and pre-33. i pay the premium and know i could get more for my money if i bought foreign gold. but, i just never have. good video
My father-in-law was big on krugs. I think he watched Lethal Weapon a few too many times! I am not a fan of krugs unless I can get them close to spot, very close. I dumped all that I had when gold went up a decent amount. Unsurprisingly, they did not command the same premium other gold coins did such as the AGE and Buffalo. I probably have more kangaroos than I should, usually obtainable at about half the premium as the AGE, but the resale again suffers on the premiums. Nice top 10 review, and gorgeous proof AGE. I should do a top 10 worst gold coins to stack, because I've bought my fair share of them!
Excellent presentation. I have more Krugerrands than any other gold coin (12) and agree that the color is a little off-putting. But I got them at good discounts and gold is gold, correct?
I appreciate you Yankee. Not just for good advice on silver and gold stacking, but for your patriotism, character, and most importantly, your Christian spirit. If we are to make it in this country, it won't be without God's help. Thank you for being an unashamed witness for God and all that is good in our country.
Nice collection there Yankee! Although in the US, all my gold ounces are Maples. Beautiful design, 24K, and a substantially lower (right now at my LCS $45 lower) premium than on Buffalos. The US Mint should match their prices IMO.
The image of the Queen is indeed very beautiful. However it's no longer being minted. We now have King Charles III and it looks like his face is melting.
I agree with that. There’s something about the added copper durability of the Krugerrand that is appealing to me. I’d place it over the Kangeroo and Philharmonic.
I’m starting to add Gold to my stack. Great vid! Personally I really dislike the Queen on my coins lol. That being said can’t beat the low premiums on gold maples.
My favourite bullion coins are Krügerrand and American Eagle. No Queen and one of the traditional modern bullion coins. The guys also thought of something when they decided on the alloy. You have to treat 24 K gold like raw eggs.
Hi Yankee, first i wanna thank you for the great input your channel provides to me. I am from Austria - and the value of the theme (of the austrian philharmoniker) is the room acoustics of the hall in which this organ is built in! it is proven to be one of the top sounding rooms on EARTH! no joke! ;) that's why we're proud of the "golden hall of musikverein wien" ;) If you visit Austria - just holla at me, I have some place to stay for both you guys.
Hi Yankee! I was totally surprised that we both choose the Buffalo. Some don’t like it because of the design however it is a US Mint and .9999 purity. Best bang for the buck IMHO. I picked up a Buffalo first strike ms70 for less than a cull AE 22 karat..
I agree with your rankings and reasons, especially the top 5, spot on. I can't believe you don't own a proof Buffalo, though, Yankee (I assume because you didn't mention it). Gotta get one for your collection!
Yankee the best gold ounce is the cheapest gold ounce. With that said, my desire to pay a little premium goes to the buffalo. Krugerrands always end up on bottom next to bars and rounds, all the other’s are about the same when you sell them.
My brother just got me a gold 1oz 2023 buffalo from Apmex as a emergency savings . Awesome idea right .. I am not great with cash so this is safer to hold onto for long term
I started with Krugerrands, then Buffalos, then Britannias & Maples, then got a screaming deal on some Philharmonics. Thereafter, the rest of my gold stack has been all Buffalos. Just couldn't beat the premiums at the time and they felt good in the hand.
For stackers in the USA, the Maples, Krugerrands, and Libertads have 1099-B IRS reporting requirements when 25 troy ounces are bought from or sold to a bullion dealer in a single transaction. The Eagles, Buffalos, Philharmonics, Britannias, Perth Mint coins, and even the Pandas are exempt from reporting. This is something people should be aware of before choosing a gold stacking target. I did not know this when I started stacking in 1999 and chose to stack Maples exclusively. So if I wanted to sell my entire collection and wished to avoid reporting, I would have to divide it up between several bullion dealers.
Excellent video, sir! And thank you for your witness at the end. May our Lord bless you for that! I love that you're stacking variety. I started out doing that: Kruggs, Kangaroos, AGEs, $10 pre 33 Eagles, some ½ oz. Philharmonics, and even a 1982 ½ oz Panda. My goal was to have as many different coins as possible. And then I bought 2 Buffalos. My next purchase was to be 2 Britanias, and 2 of something else, maybe Maples. Somehow that ended up being 4 more Buffalos. Then I ended up ordering 4 more so we now have a half tube. Not sure what happened, but I’ve really grown to like that coin. OK, I do know what’s happened: they’re American bullion and they’re four 9’s fine - ‘nuf said. So, yeah, count me in the Buffalo column! 😊
I would flip #1 and #2 personally. The buffalo is beautiful but just isn't as popular and I always consider how well they will sell if it ever comes to that. However, I know that you don't ever plan to sell and neither do I but you never know. Now the buffalo will sell but I think there is more interest in the AGE. Thanks Yankee...great video!
well i am glad i did not miss this episode > i really enjoyed this love seeing the colors all together i think i am pretty close if not the same on you list almost spot on thanks 🙏🏻 for you hard work and GREAT CONTENT
Good choices. The Kuegerand was my first one ounce coin. Too much copper even though it still has one ounce of gold. The American Gold buffalo is a modern day classic that truly captures the American spirit. That's my number one as well
My top 9. 1) Britannia, 2) Maple, 3) Kangaroos 4) Libertads 5) AGE 6) Buffalo 7) Liberty 8) Philharmonic 9) Krugerrands. Only 9 because I'm not giving money to the Chi-Coms full stop.
Great video Yankee, always love your insight on stacking. Is your stack insured? Is that something you believe in? Just always wondered if other stackers do it as a precaution
Trying to get my gold stack up at the moment. Got started with a 1/10 philharmonic, 1/10 brittania, 1/10 age, and 1/10 maple leaf. 3 are 2022 and the AGE I got from Tim is a 1995 which is my birth year and I didn’t even see the date when I bought it!!
Nice ranking. I personally don´t care what´s on the coin but what´s inside. And: I am not a huge fan of PRC, but if you can get gold pandas near melt value, buy them. Some of them (especially from the 90s) got some very high premiums.
I found an interesting process is to checkout the buy-back values online. One to watch out for is pre-33s. Folks seem to only be paying well below spot for them. So if you are really looking to sell later, probably not the best one to be buying or even in the top ten. If you are doing it for history/looks/etc, probably #1. Anyway, always good to have some more data when deciding what to stack/invest in. Thoughts on that? Is it a waste to do checking because things change over time, or a good datapoint?
Yankees what are your and Tim’s thought on stacking older vintage gold. Half sovereigns- Mexican pesos- Austrian ducats- roosters- Helveticas- would like to hear your take. The premiums use to be much more favorable.
But be careful who you are buying from…….do not trust the dealers’ grading if you can’t see it in person. I will never buy graded pre 1933 from SD ever again. I was super disappointed.
You should have included the Spanish Doubloon. Now the 2023 version is the Caballo (Lince 2021 and Toro 2022). An ounce coin with the quadruple image security system. I believe that today a gold coin that does not have an anti-counterfeiting system is outdated.
If you haven't already can you a video on stacking for fractionals? I'm fond of Mexican 50 pesos(1.20 troy ounces), Austrian and Netherlands 1 Ducats (basically 1/9th troy ounce 3.494 0.1107 ozt but its getting harder and harder to find Netherland ducats and proofs.
I'm thinking a keyboard instrument...and because I live in the US for stacking I put all the US gold in the #1 spot, which order would be dictated by the price of the day. As collectors pieces the coins from free countries are all beautiful options, but I especially like the 50 Pesos and the Libertad.
Oh….tsk tsk, Yankee! I understand “stacking” to be without emotion. It is to gather the purest gold at the best price (lowest premiums). Is that not correct? And here ya go, all subjective and gushing about “design” and “beauty”. Yankee, you are turning into a collector now! 🤣🤣🤣 This was a great video, even tho I tease you. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and responses on the coins. 👍🏻
Il like pre-33... but in the last 3 months or so the price has gone up. I don't see any price difference from Liberty's and St. Gaudens anymore... they are both about $200 over of you get a deal. I would tank the Canadian male leaves lower due to the reporting issues.
I don't necessarily disagree with your take, but I think it's always worth noting that buying too many Maples or Krugerrands in the US is a bad idea. If the time comes that you need to sell them (I know we never want to but if times get tough we may need to) you can be audited if you sell too many at once. Given the recent "upgrades" to the IRS I take that threat pretty seriously
I love the gold 🦬 it truly is simply the best in my opinion. Number two is the gold Britannia is simply stunning. It is followed by the gold Canadian 🍁 another beautiful coin. That’s my top three. Awesome video and yes Yankee I did hit the like button. HaHa.
In east Europe: 1. The Australian Kangaroo 2. The Wiener Philharmoniker 3. Britannia 4. The Maple leaf 5. The Krügerrand 6. The Sovereign The Buffalo and Eagle are bad idea here especially in my country. What you said about China from political perspective, totally the same goes for the Usa government and the usa embassies which are trying desperately to interfere politically in every single country here in Europe in the worst possible way. So as you see, the coin has other side too,but hey.....no matter what, nice and informative video 👍 and thumbs up for your channel !!!
My brother just got me a gold 1oz 2023 buffalo from Apmex as a emergency savings . Awesome idea right .. I am not great with cash so this is safer to hold onto for long term
I like the Krugerrand for its reddish tint and hardness keeps it looking great. The worst coin is the Maple. They were too cheap to add extra medal for hardness and they always scratch up.
@yankee Stacking, youre wrong on the american gold you said it doesnt have less gold but it does. its 1oz but it has silver and copper in them the gold content is less on the American eagle but its still 1 oz
Nope, I’m afraid you are wrong. The overall weight of a gold eagle is MORE than a Troy ounce. Weigh one, you’ll see. The mint compensates for the alloy. There is a FULL TROY OUNCE OF PURE GOLD in a 1 ounce American Gold Eagle.
While searching for the best deal, several times I have found proof coins that were the lowest premium over spot at the time. One quarter ounce eagle I bought below spot! When the prices shot up in 2020 they were some of the first ones I sold and I made a good profit on them - so don't automatically discount proofs! If you can buy them for less than a BU coin and keep them or sell them for a profit they are a winner!
Britannias and Maples are my first pick, followed by Philharmonics. The only reason I would stack AGE's or Buffalos would be because I live here. They are not particularly pretty coins the same with the Krugerrand.
10 - Chinese Panda cz they're not in troy ounces, 9 - Libertads cz they're so expensive, 8 - Kruggerrand cz they're taxable in my country, 7 - Eagle cz they're taxable in my country, 6 - Pre 33 cz they're taxable in my country, 5 - Australian, 4 - Austrian, 3 - Buffalo, 2 - Britannia, 1 - Maple Leaf

Hey everyone, don’t forget to hit the thumbs up 👍🏻! (Right now it’s only around 10% of you. 😉)
Definitely want to get one of those tree of life coins pretty cool looks like they’re sold out
The way I look at it, the more Chinese gold in American hands, the better.
I always do before I click play!
So From here on out...
We'll be known as "the 10 percenters"???
👍🤠✌️
The top 10 was worth a thumbs up, but the last minute of the video makes me wish I could hit the thumbs up a million times.
Britannia takes #1 for me. 24k gold and the 2022 security features make it the most trustworthy coin out there.
Love the Britannias.
I’m 100% with you for the same reasons also the premiums are too high on US coins.

Probably. For sure American Gold Eagle and Buffalo and St Gaudens.
The spanish doubloon caballo has the better security feature.

Notorious for child labour. Some say meh, but it is a consideration for some.
Krugerrand are the most expensive gold coin available in my country. Over $400 premium.
The krugerrand is very expensive to buy in Canada because it is taxable upon buying because of its purity. So it costs an extra like $140 or so to buy on top of spot and the premium. I'd love to get one someday but not any time soon
I am from Germany and the Krugerrand is here the cheapest one, the American Buffalo cost 5 % more then every other gold coins

Although in the US, all my gold ounces are Maples.
Beautiful design, 24K, and a substantially lower (right now at my LCS $45 lower) premium than on Buffalos. The US Mint should match their prices IMO.
I like the lunar series from Perth. They go up in premium in a couple of years.
The Britannia is stunning and no other coin comes close to it. The beautiful image of Her Majesty the Queen adds to its perfection.
I got the one with charles
The image of the Queen is indeed very beautiful. However it's no longer being minted. We now have King Charles III and it looks like his face is melting.
Coming from the UK I would have to rate the Krugerrand much higher. Great coins you have there.
I agree with that. There’s something about the added copper durability of the Krugerrand that is appealing to me. I’d place it over the Kangeroo and Philharmonic.
Many UK dealers would tell you their TWO most sought after coins are the Sovereign and the Krugerrand
My favorite gold coins are the ones I can get the best deal on. I look at weight and purity and ignore the fanfare.
The premium on a Brittiania is $65.00 where the Eagle is $140.00 and the the Buffalo is $128.00. My money is on the Brittiania.
I’m starting to add Gold to my stack. Great vid! Personally I really dislike the Queen on my coins lol. That being said can’t beat the low premiums on gold maples.
I have to agree with you Yankee. The Buffalo is just gorgeous! I also stack the silver Buffalo rounds.
I absolutely love silver and gold maples. My favorite bullion coin.
My favourite bullion coins are Krügerrand and American Eagle. No Queen and one of the traditional modern bullion coins. The guys also thought of something when they decided on the alloy. You have to treat 24 K gold like raw eggs.
I love the maple leaf too! But I hate my criminister Trudy. Thank you for your videos.
Don’t worry about that clown,keep buying maples😎
Libertads are beautiful and classy coins, a timeless design.
I mostly stack silver, but I do love the Gold Maple Leafs and Buffaloes
Hi Yankee, first i wanna thank you for the great input your channel provides to me.
I am from Austria - and the value of the theme (of the austrian philharmoniker) is the room acoustics of the hall in which this organ is built in! it is proven to be one of the top sounding rooms on EARTH! no joke! ;) that's why we're proud of the "golden hall of musikverein wien" ;)
If you visit Austria - just holla at me, I have some place to stay for both you guys.
As you narrowed it down, I was cheering on the buffalo 🤣. I didn’t know why it was my favorite, but now I do❤️. I think you played the French horn🎶

curious your thoughts on the Austria 100 Corona coin, it's 0.98oz and is usually found for sale at within $25 from spot price in BU condition.
Pretty much agree with ya, maybe have the Krug a little higher though! Beautiful new pickup!
I can only admire the tree of life proof coin with YHVH inscription, so incredibly beautiful!
I agree with your rankings and reasons, especially the top 5, spot on. I can't believe you don't own a proof Buffalo, though, Yankee (I assume because you didn't mention it). Gotta get one for your collection!
Yankee, I focus on stacking silver but I do have 9 1oz gold coins, and all are Buffalos.
Best for stacking? Which ever you can get for the lowest premium. Personally love the Brittania. Stunning coin.
Valcambi combibar in gold? Or maple leaf, or Buffalo? Only 24k for me
Yankee the best gold ounce is the cheapest gold ounce. With that said, my desire to pay a little premium goes to the buffalo. Krugerrands always end up on bottom next to bars and rounds, all the other’s are about the same when you sell them.

Nice list, I agree with the Buffalo being at the top.
Great video Yankee, always love your insight on stacking. Is your stack insured? Is that something you believe in? Just always wondered if other stackers do it as a precaution
The Eagle and Krugerrand are 22carat gold and as such they are taxed by countries such as Canada or Singapore. However 24 carat coins are not.

Yankees what are your and Tim’s thought on stacking older vintage gold. Half sovereigns- Mexican pesos- Austrian ducats- roosters- Helveticas- would like to hear your take. The premiums use to be much more favorable.
I only buy my Libertads in Mexico. Banco Azteca and premiums are much less.
Hello Yankee stacker I'm only working on my Hatzinikolis Cannon... Like your's.. great video..
I would’ve placed the 1. Buffalo, 2. Maple, 3. Britannia, 4. Eagle
If the BU pre33 are on sale, they are a good choice.
But be careful who you are buying from…….do not trust the dealers’ grading if you can’t see it in person. I will never buy graded pre 1933 from SD ever again. I was super disappointed.
You should have included the Spanish Doubloon. Now the 2023 version is the Caballo (Lince 2021 and Toro 2022). An ounce coin with the quadruple image security system. I believe that today a gold coin that does not have an anti-counterfeiting system is outdated.
Glad I stuck around until the end. Always makes me happy to hear a RUclipsr proclaim Christ.
👊🏼
I bought 1en Dcam ms-70z pcgs ,ngcs when I started stacking again for the 4th time. Saw the writing on the wall. Was doing gems & jewelry wholesale.
If you haven't already can you a video on stacking for fractionals? I'm fond of Mexican 50 pesos(1.20 troy ounces), Austrian and Netherlands 1 Ducats (basically 1/9th troy ounce 3.494 0.1107 ozt but its getting harder and harder to find Netherland ducats and proofs.
50 peso is an awesome coin. Hefty in hand and beautiful. 20 peso is also nice.
Love your selections for top 10. My guess is you played the saxophone.
What about the St. Guadian???
The 🎻 Yankee? Great list thank you!
I'm thinking a keyboard instrument...and because I live in the US for stacking I put all the US gold in the #1 spot, which order would be dictated by the price of the day. As collectors pieces the coins from free countries are all beautiful options, but I especially like the 50 Pesos and the Libertad.
I like your line up and its about the same as mine. Good reasoning.
The Truth Coin is really pretty! I have never seen one of those.
Oh….tsk tsk, Yankee! I understand “stacking” to be without emotion. It is to gather the purest gold at the best price (lowest premiums). Is that not correct? And here ya go, all subjective and gushing about “design” and “beauty”. Yankee, you are turning into a collector now! 🤣🤣🤣 This was a great video, even tho I tease you. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and responses on the coins. 👍🏻
Il like pre-33... but in the last 3 months or so the price has gone up. I don't see any price difference from Liberty's and St. Gaudens anymore... they are both about $200 over of you get a deal. I would tank the Canadian male leaves lower due to the reporting issues.
I still see a slight difference.
I guess you played the trumpet 🎺 Britannias all the way for me ‘cos I’m a Brit and not interested in paying Capital Gains Tax when I sell 😁
I don't necessarily disagree with your take, but I think it's always worth noting that buying too many Maples or Krugerrands in the US is a bad idea. If the time comes that you need to sell them (I know we never want to but if times get tough we may need to) you can be audited if you sell too many at once. Given the recent "upgrades" to the IRS I take that threat pretty seriously
Love that you aren’t afraid to share your love for the Lord. Subscribed!
I’m guessing trumpet?? Am I right? Very nice coins! Love the vids!
I just bought 2 buffalos and the dealer said there are no holders for it. What airtight size do you use?
Thanks and I enjoy your videos.
I love the gold 🦬 it truly is simply the best in my opinion. Number two is the gold Britannia is simply stunning. It is followed by the gold Canadian 🍁 another beautiful coin. That’s my top three. Awesome video and yes Yankee I did hit the like button. HaHa.
My top 3 gold coins are the Gold Eagle,Britannia and Austrian Philharmonic .
In east Europe:
1. The Australian Kangaroo
2. The Wiener Philharmoniker
3. Britannia
4. The Maple leaf
5. The Krügerrand
6. The Sovereign
The Buffalo and Eagle are bad idea here especially in my country.
What you said about China from political perspective, totally the same goes for the Usa government and the usa embassies which are trying desperately to interfere politically in every single country here in Europe in the worst possible way.
So as you see, the coin has other side too,but hey.....no matter what,
nice and informative video 👍
and thumbs up for your channel !!!
My brother just got me a gold 1oz 2023 buffalo from Apmex as a emergency savings . Awesome idea right .. I am not great with cash so this is safer to hold onto for long term
I just can’t afford to stack. But you sure are doing well! Congrats!
I like the Krugerrand for its reddish tint and hardness keeps it looking great. The worst coin is the Maple. They were too cheap to add extra medal for hardness and they always scratch up.
All pure gold coins scratch so easily. South Africa made the right decision with 22 carot. It's also the easiest to sell, when the time comes.
Watching a 2nd time to help with the views on this one to push it more....great video
Thanks!!
What are your thoughts on Gold restrikes?
Where can I get Coin Capsurles? Also, may I know the dimensions?
@yankee Stacking, youre wrong on the american gold you said it doesnt have less gold but it does. its 1oz but it has silver and copper in them the gold content is less on the American eagle but its still 1 oz
Nope, I’m afraid you are wrong. The overall weight of a gold eagle is MORE than a Troy ounce. Weigh one, you’ll see. The mint compensates for the alloy. There is a FULL TROY OUNCE OF PURE GOLD in a 1 ounce American Gold Eagle.
Now I have to get your 2 top choices. Sweet!
Hi, Yankee! I love your videos. As far as the musical instrument, I would guess, Clarinet, or French horn?
While searching for the best deal, several times I have found proof coins that were the lowest premium over spot at the time. One quarter ounce eagle I bought below spot! When the prices shot up in 2020 they were some of the first ones I sold and I made a good profit on them - so don't automatically discount proofs! If you can buy them for less than a BU coin and keep them or sell them for a profit they are a winner!
Britannias and Maples are my first pick, followed by Philharmonics. The only reason I would stack AGE's or Buffalos would be because I live here. They are not particularly pretty coins the same with the Krugerrand.
10 - Chinese Panda cz they're not in troy ounces, 9 - Libertads cz they're so expensive, 8 - Kruggerrand cz they're taxable in my country, 7 - Eagle cz they're taxable in my country, 6 - Pre 33 cz they're taxable in my country, 5 - Australian, 4 - Austrian, 3 - Buffalo, 2 - Britannia, 1 - Maple Leaf
