conclusion : THE best = Canadian Maple 1) security feature 2 ) lowest premium 3) 24 gold purity 4) very liquid 5) beautiful design 6) world recognition ( very popular )
My list goes like this in America buffalo's then eagles simply because I like the 24k instead of the 22k and that's just for looks. My next is the Britannia I think it's a beautiful coin and I like the fractional aspect. I have never cared for the Maple leaves just because of the aesthetic aspect. Beautiful coin they just don't do anything for me. After that I would have to say just about anything from the Perth mint. I even stack a little silver and its usually Britannias I have a lcs that let's me get them for 24 to 26 and sells me buffalo rounds for 23 to 25. Great show never miss it.
The US mint could learn many things from the Royal Canadian Mint and the British Royal Mint. By the way, has political correctness invaded the US Mint? Referencing the defenseless 'Turkey Buzzard" ASE coin... 😞
My LCS said he wouldn’t pay “spot” for my 1 oz gold coins If i ever sold. Said he’d buy under $150 or less spot. Guess I’ll find a new local coin dealer
The Britannia is BY FAR my favorite. Not into gold bars, but I ONLY buy Platinum in bar form in assay cards. Its the only metal I do in assay, and thats partially so my kids dont mix them up with the silver generic bars should I die before I can cash them out to spend on hookers and blow. I feel like I should be stacking more pre-33 double eagles, but I hate the premium. The 50 Peso coin is also super-chonky. I'm going to hit up Andy at Miles Franklin tomorrow to se if he has any deals on Double Eagles.
For your purposes, I'd say Britannia. Premiums are reasonable right now but if the new security features and design do increase demand, the premiums may grow in time and benefit early buyers. One thing I will say is that I've moved to prioritize buffaloes over eagles. Eagles are still more liquid stateside but I've never heard of any problems unloading buffaloes. The advantage of the Buffalo is it's easier to sell 24k internationally. It's sad to say but in the past year I've started to view my stack as not just as savings but also as an emergency get out of dodge if things get really bad stateside and in the broader west. It's not something that looms large just yet but it's enough of a remote possibility that my preference has shifted to 24k and the Buffalo walks that line of liquidity stateside and abroad best.
@@ewinmac3561 Agree. Have a 1/0 and a 1/4. For a bullion coin that has a reverse proof finish (like a couple other sovereigns), and one of the lowest premiums, you can't go wrong, collector or stacker. And, the US Mint should take a hint - we all know their premiums on their proofs - ridiculous - the Mint is making a mint!
@Great White I agree with you 100%. We have to fight 2 battles at once: keeping liberals from bringing America to its knees, and financially protecting ourselves. Any gold is good gold, and the more you can accumulate in the weeks, months, ahead, the better off you'll be when the shtf in a really big way. Kudos!
Various options I think you should consider: - Roosters - 20 Francs with a chicken flavor - French Gold coins with birds on them - Nice european gold coin with galinaceas on them can also be considered. I hope this helps.
I'm a big Sunshine Mint fan, even for gold. I buy their 1 oz bars whenever I see them. Nothing more satisfying than buying lower price gold, then laying that prism lens over it and seeing the word "VALID" light up! That really gives you confidence. And if I sell one to the dealer, I'll bring my lens!
Royal Mint has released a new Robin Hood series. I think there's only 3 coins (Robin Hood/Maid Marion/Little John). Could be an option if the price is right to go alongside the Britannia. I can't just be getting Kangaroos all the time, even though they change the design every year as it gets a little dull. Not sure about the new font on the 2022 Kangaroo but i'll still buy them. Anyway I tend to mix it up a little with Swans, Dragons, Emus, Pixiu, Golden Eagle, etc... Yep we have an eagle
Perth Mint does a better job than the Royal Mint on series in my opinion, but the RM nailed it with the Queen's Beasts series. We'll see how they do with the Tudors Beasts. Cheers!
A really nice way to stack fractional is the Dutch gold ducat. Minted since 1586, it weighs 3,49 grams (983/1000 purity) or 3,434 pure gold (0,11 Oz AGW). A nice feature is also the fact that they perfectly fit the A22 airtite capsule and are therefore perfect for tube stacking. 10 ducats equal just over an ounce of gold. And the premiums on ducats are still low at the moment. 👍🏻
Exactly to many good options! My main focus is and has been Buffalos, AGE's 1 oz and 1/4 oz, followed by Maples. I do have the random Krug and Britannia as well. I do like the premiums of the Brits the best!
1oz eagles sorry. They are under 5% over spot at silver gold bull right now. There's always a deal on them somewhere. Many fractional and proof options if you can catch a deal.
Yeah, they've always looked great (well, some weren't great), but I'm not sure I've ever seen them at a local coin shop. Not sure why they aren't more popular.
Also, I just bought a 10oz Fortuna bar... it's incredibly beautiful. It's by far my favorite thing. Since I have no intention of ever selling, I'm not worried about the testing process. Eventually gold will be so expensive and rare, that people will be begging us for these metals anyway.
I think a good out of the box coin to stack would be the 1oz Gold Lunar Tiger from the Perth Mint (2022). - It’s from a highly recognised mint and it’s government backed by one of the most stable economies on Earth - it’s a cool, kick ass design - low premium in the US I’m lead to believe (I’m from Australia 🇦🇺) - dragons and tigers are the two most popular lunar animal designs for coin collectors and non-collectors. Everyone wants a Tiger, not many want a mouse or a rat or a rabbit etc. - it also carries a future collector premium so you could potentially ratchet up your profits slightly when it comes to sell. - Did I mention that Tigers are bloody cool! 😎
I had the same struggles you have. I don’t like AGEs much because if I’m spending that much fiat I would rather get 24k. But with the crazy premiums of Buffalos I switched to Canadian maples 🍁 because I think 1. That would be the next popular coin in the US, 2. The premiums are lower, 3. The purity, 4. You can get some premium back when you sell them, 5. Like you said l, it won’t trigger 1099 unless you sell 25, so that’s quite a high number, and 6. I quite like the maple leaf! Good video!
Another advantage of coins over bars (in my opinion), is that bars need some sort of certificate and serial number for authenticity. However, an actual coin, backed by an issuing country, basically has its authenticity certified by its design. Not counting simple "rounds", a coin IS the "certificate". Also, harder to counterfeit a coin versus a certificate or card.
Buffaloes are definitely my number one choice based on rugged looks and 24k, closely followed by AGEs of various sizes. My third choice are Canadian Call of the Wild coins. They are very nice and look cool. Best wishes to all!
In my humble opinion if you're considering any bar I'd have to say the 1oz RCM Gold bar. It's made by a Sovereign country and it has security features as well. At least one 🧐
Thanks to the pandemic and having nothing to spend for, I got my only full ounce coin. Then just kept adding some silver and fractional gold every 2 months or so, now less and less, but I am still happy for what I have, and now it is much easier to make myself add a bit here and there :)
britannia is the way i'd go, think i said that before, but maybe cycling through the options will keep your interest going. kinda like shuffling cards to see what you get. kinda exciting. :)
I am at the same place. I'm thinking about alternating between an American coin every other month and a 9999 coin the opposite months. I'm still building cash right now. I need to buy 1.5 oz to complete my annual goal of one oz a month.
You didn't mention the 1/10th OZ American Gold Eagle. These can be stacked in a tube and are an ideal size for barter if ever needed. And you can collect them twice as fast as the 1/4 OZ Eagle. Yes, they're a little small but I like them.
I love the tenth Oz Eagles. Got them on sale, (I’m well known there as a buyer) from my LCS. I’m so glad I did and may buy more if the "sale" goes back on. Seriously beautiful. Would like all the "fractional" even better if each size had different and beautiful designs. Remember real silver "fractional" (dimes, quarters etc) would be nice instead of constantly same design.
Ive picked up a few of the 1/4 Britannia’s. I really think those are the best looking. I think I will work on a tube of those. They are usually the best deals out there and I think if you did the math and compared what you could sell them for, you would lose the least so that would put them overall the best right now. Only until the AGE premiums come down. I don’t think you can go wrong with the maples either, but that Queen is the worst image of all the Queen profiles in my opinion.
My next gold purchase is a 2022 gold 1 oz. Though you've got me thinking one of these years I might just do a quart once challenge where I pick up 1 ever month I don't think I'll do it any time soon cause I like stocks more and have a good basis with silver and gold. But I like that you gave me the idea of 1 quarter once gold coin every month for a year = 3 oz of gold.
Krugerrand, Maples, Brittanias, Philharmonics, Kangaroos, Eagles/Buffaloes, 10 oz each. That was/is my stacking goal. Eagles and Buffaloes I count together due to their high premiums, here in Europe. I’m short of two oz Kangaroos and three oz Brittanias. Once those are completed, I’ll make a new plan. Thanks for the vid!
I’d like to hear more about your vault and the process of getting that set up. Maybe info about monthly or yearly fees associated. Are you worried that there would be a chance you could not get to your coins. ie; power outages, bank closure, or other very bad scenarios?
If we got to that, we’d be in full cowboy mode. I have other things for that kind of world! 😅 I got your point on the vault info, though. I’ll work on something. Cheers!
@@2is1gold When you do your vault video I, and I am sure others, would be grateful if you would touch on: (1) how to recognise/do due diligence to ensure a reputable/reliable service provider, and (2) out-of-country vaulting services (offering vaults in different countries, shipment between their vaults, shipment to you, the customer, wherever you move to). Geographical and political diversification (not only in PM) seem to be coming increasingly desirable.
I JUST PICKED UP A 1/4 oz A.G.E. FOR $516.00.REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS.I BEEN SUBSCRIBE FOR ABOUT A YEAR MAYBE LONGER.BEEN STACKING ONLY SINCE 2020 JUST BEFORE EVERYTHING WENT CRAZY.THE FIRST THING I BOUGHT WAS A 10 oz SILVER BAR FOR $185.27.I WISH I STARTED STACKING A LONG TIME AGO.I JUST DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BUYING SILVER AND GOLD.AND I AM IN MY 50s.
At 70 y/o, I arrived late to the gold party. Have silver, collected it for years, have woo woo of it in my safes. But 2 is 1 helped accelerate my purchasing of gold. I love diversity in my gold portfolio - it's the 'collector' in me - not a 'stacker'. In my humble opinion, the premiums I'm paying on 1/4 ouncers, and fractional 5-10 gram bars, will evaporate if the dollar, the economy, inflation, and goodness knows, all the other factors that will hit our wallets and $ savings, send gold up, up, up. Set it (buy it) and forget it.
I actually haven't purchased any gold due to work but might be a blessing ....but keeping the powder dry or just go to Vegas and have a little bit of fun. Might go back to my currency collection
It's a challenging conundrum. Have you thought of moving down to the 1/2 oz. option and doing a "fill-the-tubes-race" between the Britannia and the Maple based on which coin has the lower monthly premium?
For me it's pretty easy. When I buy bullion from outside the US it's mostly a Maple leaf. The numbers don't lie and the buy sell spread is the slimmest for them. I like the Britannia's too (and I own one) but for me I get a little less back when I resell them. I decided that I'm ok with keeping my sales under 25 ounces of Maples a year or just taking the paperwork hit if I have to sell more. Thanks and good luck with your choice!
Enjoyed the video, the mint will never make fractional gold buffaloes as you mentioned in a earlier video might overtake the Gold Eagle, regarding reporting the Maple over 25 ounces, if that law regarding the reporting to the IRS anything over $600.00 goes into effect that will be for all coins/transactions. Talk about a kick in the ass.
Love the Britt, just got my first two, Such a beautiful coin! It's my new goal behind my 5 9's Call of the Wild series from the RCM. Really looking forward to a tube of these over time.
you have plenty of liquid gold 1 oz coins now. Why not go with something a little bigger like the 50gram pamp bars for example cheaper than the standard 1 oz bar. Bring your cost down quickly or you can go wth RCM 1 oz bars all in assays and serialized as well very safe and recognizable.
I love stacking, (usually one Oz) the tenth Oz gold Eagles. If I can get them on sale, (I’m well known there as a buyer) from my LCS. I’m so glad I did and may buy more if the "sale" goes back on. Seriously beautiful. Would like all the "fractional" even better if each size had different and beautiful designs. Remember real and different designs like on, (junk) silver "fractional" (dimes, quarters etc) would be nice instead of constantly same design. PS The Gold Maple Leafs are amongst the most "stunningly beautiful” coins I’ve ever seen.
I'm with you on CMLs being stunning, and would also love to see different designs at different sizes. The Mint isn't very creative, unfortunately. Cheers!
You are clearly not an OG Krugerrand guy. Don't blame you. I have a number of them, but I'd like to trade them out for an American, Canadian or British 1 oz. Nice gold show!
How about a five 9's RCM coin, like the call of the wild series? The elk, the bobcat, wolf, bear, etc are all beautiful coins. And the swagger of a 99.999% fine gold coin is tough to deny.
Buffalo monster box or bust. 1/2 oz lady fortuna is a good size and sometimes available cheap. Think of all You'll save on capsules! I am small time but go with the variety is the spice of life method
My choice is the eagles now but iam storing mostly green backs just in case it takes a big dip i think used vehicles is a great asset brought 2 last week for future trades great video my friend wonderful source of information
Moving a tube of 1 oz oro coins for cash will be challenging no matter how nice your coins are. Results will vary though depending on where you live and the market you are selling into. I will not wish to leave any sort of paper trail when I sell. I need cash on the barrel head for my oro. Dealing in cash-outside of the banking system is one of the main reasons I own yellow metal.
I get what you’re saying. It’s hard to know where we’re going. I’ve moved several tubes of Eagles in the past with no trouble whatsoever, though. The local shops have said they’ve done the same with Krugs and Maples, but will do it without hesitation for Eagles (and presumably Buffalos). Again, it’s hard to say what the case will be in the future. Hope you’re doing well. ✊
@@2is1gold Thanx for the well wishes. I am in prepping mode, not stacking mode. Prices are skyrocketing so its time to make sure everything is in order. 2022 will be a tumultuous year. I hope your house in order and the family is well.
@@glenh4971 - It’s getting ever harder not to leave a paper trail. The banks round my way get stroppy when you want to take more than a few hundred out in cash. “Why would you even want to do that?” I got asked last week.
I decided on some krugs, but when I got down to the shop yesterday he had six 1/10 maples & five 1/10 eagle so asked about price expecting something crazy, he said $190 a piece! I thought that was pretty great compared to apmex so I grabbed the lot. No dull brown krugs to add to the no emotional attachment pile, I just couldn’t pass up on the price. I don’t get how apmex is getting away with charging $270 for a tenth oz-
Love the idea of bars, but the non-uniform shape of the assay cards is a no-go for me. Most retail packaging seems like a lopsided nightmare to physically stack/store. Maybe an assayed square Geiger bar could work for me.
Very good video. I really value and appreciate the info you give out about purchasing gold. You hit all the points and tell it like it is without the BS. You just make a lot of sense! Due to my monthly financial means I really can only afford the fractional gold coins. The tenth oz is ok for me but I like saving for the quarter oz size. I really wish they would bring back the fractional buffaloes. Also I strongly agree with you on an update redesign for the obverse on the eagles.
When you purchase your coins, do you buy current year, random year, secondary market, or which ever is the lowest cost? Also, I really like PM Bars but your swaying me on future purchases with gold. I think with silver the 10oz bar is always the best way to go but gold maybe a different story. And finally, I didn't think any dealer would ever pay spot for any PM. It's good to know it's possible.
I don't care about year at all on Buffalos. I do care on coins where there's a feature change like Maples and Britannias, and I prefer the Type 2 Eagles. 👍
It's interesting how you like the radial lines. I'm so new to this there when I see the old design on the Maple Leafs I think wow that's cool! I guess I prefer things with a little more history as well.
When I first seriously began stacking 18 months ago, I had more of a "what if SHTF" mentality and so started out with fractional bars (5 grs), combi bars (Valcambi), RCM 5 x 1/10 oz packs. I didn't want to barter for a gallon a gas holding only a $2,000 Eagle. Since getting that out of my system I'm now sticking with 1oz and 1/4 oz Eagles, 1oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz Maples, although recently I couldn't resist a gold Queens Beast. Glad to see you dipping your toe into the Maple waters...however I did sell 3 1oz Maples just a couple of months ago and could get only $10 below spot for them...I did purchase a couple rolls of silver Britannias and they're beautiful. BTW...do you try and stick with BU coins or are you not put off by "lightly used" offerings?
Most of my coins purchased up to the shop closures in March 2020 were purchased at local shops, so 9 out of 10 were secondhand. Some of them had slight marks. I also tended to buy random year when I bought online, but with the recent demand, those deals kind of dried up. So, I’m mostly buying BU lately. Cheers!
Poured bars are harder to fake. Stamped well liked but low circulated poured bars like Scottsdale buttons are immensely less likely forged. Most fakes come from overseas so Engelhard and Scottsdale gold pours are rare to ever be faked
@@martymcfly9381 I absolutely love the dimensions of the gold Phil but I really wish it didn’t say “weiner” on it and had something a little cooler looking than musical instruments 🙄
@@TheOldSchoolExpert I don’t mind a couple of music instruments between all the goddesses in togas and flora and fauna from around the planet, that are shown on my other coins. Get 10 Phil’s, display them in front of you and the width of your grin will correlate with the width of the coins. Guaranteed 🤩
@@martymcfly9381 I actually went to my LCS a couple days ago and asked him to pull out one of each gold coin he had so I could look at them and buy one. He pulled out a Kruggerrand (awful copper color and ugly design), a Buffalo (I already had 2), a 2009 Eagle (I have a 1923 Gaudens Double Eagle) and a Philharmonics. I have to say, I was super impressed with the aesthetics of the Phil, and holding it felt amazing with that large diameter. But the damn design gets me. I just don’t like it much. I’m sure I’ll pick one up one day but idk when. By the way, I went with the Buffalo so now I have 3 🤷♂️. It’s a gorgeous coin in my opinion 😊
I have a couple of Buffaloes, Maples and Britannia - but I'm far from reaching the full tube for any of those. I personally much prefer the aesthetics of Buffalo above any other coins, my second option is definitely Maples. Britannia are nice, but there's something about it that doesn't make me want to stack more than the 2 I already have. Not sure what it is, though... 22kt coins are a no-go for me (I don't live in the US).
You already know the answer of best coin to stack. You live in the US it is the Buffalo or Eagle. Period. When I buy a coin I am thinking about how easy it will be to sell. I don't buy coins to look at, I buy for gold content. I don't play with my coins or look at them. And I would always wait till I had enough money to purchase a one once coin no matter how long it took rather than pay the money for more frequent fractional gold purchases at much higher premiums. With that said for full disclosure I did purchase a couple maple leafs just for fun. I like the looks of that coin but would never seriously accumulate them.
Though my main coins are Eagles and Buffalos, I tend to get the CML’s when I just wanna add an ounce to the stack at low premiums. I like the Britannia’s too but only own a few.
I have a 1oz krug, brit, buffalo, maple, AE type 1, and AE Type 2. I was curious and called apmex to see what they offered, they offered me spot for all of them, guess they don’t care what you have.
Just got my 29th & 30th Britannia for 3.5% over spot. The 2021 version is the best yet. Unfortunately the Buffalo premium is so high where I am it makes no sense. I think whatever the lowest premium 24k coin in your region is the best coin. If price doesn’t matter to you then that is a difficult choice as there are some gorgeous coins out there.
Liquidity matters most of all to me, so there are 2 great options, and then 5 good options there. Price is then the variable. Britannias at 3.5% are hard to overlook!
@@2is1gold yeah got lucky. My Dealer had a flash sale of 2021 Brits to make way for the 2022 ones arriving this week. Wish I could of grabbed more but I’m way over budget this month now 😂
I have nearly 7 oz of gold, but I haven’t started “stacking” any particular coin. My stack looks like a total grab bag. I even have some pre 33 stuff. I don’t necessarily view that as a bad thing, because it gives me a mix of different options to help me decide which one thing I do want to stack. Right now, I’m looking at 1/2 oz Eagles. I keep enough cash sidelined to get me through a $500 emergency without breaking a sweat. So, the 1/4 oz doesn’t make much sense to me. I’m sure I’ll at least pick up a gold buffalo at some point as well. But, the 1/2 oz 🦅 is going to be my focus going forward.
Great video! I’m in Asia so the Maple’s are the clear favorite here. The Britannia’s are nice as well but not as popular here. If it were me, I’d keep stacking more Buffaloes. I know that you’re definitely contemplating that as well. I’m sure that whatever you choose you’ll be a happy camper. 😀
I have no idea why but something about those dos pesos I really like. Unfortunately liquidity issues are a major hurdle and prevent me from really thinking about purchasing any however.
I bought a bar a couple years ago around 1450 and sold it last year, getting back in the game and getting my first coin tomorrow! P.S anyone have any strong opinions on Austrian philharmonics? Love my silver one
Funny I just watched this after pulling the trigger on a Double Pixiu, which I have admired for a while now. Not sure I’ll be able to complete the series though after hearing how hard it was to find the Phoenix @2is1
:( I bought my first ounce of gold, an APMEX bar. The shipment took a while (Not their fault) and I had to pick it up at a UPS store in the end. The quality leaves something to be desired. I can't tell if it's just the plastic case it came in, but it looks like there's a tiny bubble and maybe a few scratches.
conclusion : THE best = Canadian Maple 1) security feature 2 ) lowest premium 3) 24 gold purity 4) very liquid 5) beautiful design 6) world recognition ( very popular )
Maybe. I’m definitely a fan.
I would disagree and say the new Britannia is better, it has better security features, higher face value and everything else the same as the maple

A really nice way to stack fractional is the Dutch gold ducat. Minted since 1586, it weighs 3,49 grams (983/1000 purity) or 3,434 pure gold (0,11 Oz AGW). A nice feature is also the fact that they perfectly fit the A22 airtite capsule and are therefore perfect for tube stacking. 10 ducats equal just over an ounce of gold. And the premiums on ducats are still low at the moment. 👍🏻
Yeah, cool coins.
@@2is1gold and with 23.6 carat gold an excellent choice, at least for me.
Scottsdale mint has some good looking coins.
Agreed!
Exactly to many good options! My main focus is and has been Buffalos, AGE's 1 oz and 1/4 oz, followed by Maples. I do have the random Krug and Britannia as well. I do like the premiums of the Brits the best!
Sounds familiar. I think similarly. Cheers!
1oz eagles sorry. They are under 5% over spot at silver gold bull right now. There's always a deal on them somewhere. Many fractional and proof options if you can catch a deal.
Yep. You just have to search!
great video the older 22k Britannias are sweet they switched to 24k in 2013 🔥🐉
Yeah, they've always looked great (well, some weren't great), but I'm not sure I've ever seen them at a local coin shop. Not sure why they aren't more popular.
Also, I just bought a 10oz Fortuna bar... it's incredibly beautiful. It's by far my favorite thing. Since I have no intention of ever selling, I'm not worried about the testing process. Eventually gold will be so expensive and rare, that people will be begging us for these metals anyway.
I like Fortuna bars at the 10 oz size.
Been doing 1 Maple Leaf for every 2 Britannia's. Both have been similar in price but I like the Brit's face a lot better, 2021's are gorgeous.
That makes sense!
I think a good out of the box coin to stack would be the 1oz Gold Lunar Tiger from the Perth Mint (2022).
- It’s from a highly recognised mint and it’s government backed by one of the most stable economies on Earth
- it’s a cool, kick ass design
- low premium in the US I’m lead to believe (I’m from Australia 🇦🇺)
- dragons and tigers are the two most popular lunar animal designs for coin collectors and non-collectors. Everyone wants a Tiger, not many want a mouse or a rat or a rabbit etc.
- it also carries a future collector premium so you could potentially ratchet up your profits slightly when it comes to sell.
- Did I mention that Tigers are bloody cool! 😎
Ha, all true. But they'll be hard to get next year!
You can't beat the Perth Mint Lunar Coins, especially those Tigers in Gold and Platinum. Though I don't mind the Canadian Maple's...
@2 is 1 your channel is outstanding Sir. Always informative and I like your take on stacking.
Thank you!!
I had the same struggles you have. I don’t like AGEs much because if I’m spending that much fiat I would rather get 24k. But with the crazy premiums of Buffalos I switched to Canadian maples 🍁 because I think 1. That would be the next popular coin in the US, 2. The premiums are lower, 3. The purity, 4. You can get some premium back when you sell them, 5. Like you said l, it won’t trigger 1099 unless you sell 25, so that’s quite a high number, and 6. I quite like the maple leaf! Good video!
The 2021 Britannia has become popular amongst my friends
I'm guessing I'll be buying at least a few more CMLs. Just a great, overall option. Cheers!
Surely purity is irrelevant? Unless you have so much of the stuff you have trouble carrying it all...
Another advantage of coins over bars (in my opinion), is that bars need some sort of certificate and serial number for authenticity. However, an actual coin, backed by an issuing country, basically has its authenticity certified by its design. Not counting simple "rounds", a coin IS the "certificate". Also, harder to counterfeit a coin versus a certificate or card.
Yeah. I like the idea of bars at 10 oz size, but that's a bit outside my typical buying range. 😄
Buffaloes are definitely my number one choice based on rugged looks and 24k, closely followed by AGEs of various sizes. My third choice are Canadian Call of the Wild coins. They are very nice and look cool. Best wishes to all!
Thanks, Michael!
My answer has always been stack what you like, but then that does work well with my exit plan.
Yeah, I know from past experience that you can make it hard on the future you. 😄
Thanks for the great video. I’m a fan of the Buffalo and looking forward to the day I can say “done”
Thanks, and good luck!
In my humble opinion if you're considering any bar I'd have to say the 1oz RCM Gold bar.
It's made by a Sovereign country and it has security features as well.
At least one 🧐
Makes sense.
I do like the RCM 10 oz silver bars...
Thanks to the pandemic and having nothing to spend for, I got my only full ounce coin. Then just kept adding some silver and fractional gold every 2 months or so, now less and less, but I am still happy for what I have, and now it is much easier to make myself add a bit here and there :)
That's great!
britannia is the way i'd go, think i said that before, but maybe cycling through the options will keep your interest going.
kinda like shuffling cards to see what you get. kinda exciting. :)
Yes sir!
I am at the same place. I'm thinking about alternating between an American coin every other month and a 9999 coin the opposite months. I'm still building cash right now. I need to buy 1.5 oz to complete my annual goal of one oz a month.
That seems like a good idea. I think I'll be alternating one way or another. Cheers!
I just bought a Britannia. $1866 on Ebay Liberty. Not bad.
You didn't mention the 1/10th OZ American Gold Eagle. These can be stacked in a tube and are an ideal size for barter if ever needed. And you can collect them twice as fast as the 1/4 OZ Eagle. Yes, they're a little small but I like them.
They just have a high premium.
I love the tenth Oz Eagles. Got them on sale, (I’m well known there as a buyer) from my LCS. I’m so glad I did and may buy more if the "sale" goes back on. Seriously beautiful.
Would like all the "fractional" even better if each size had different and beautiful designs. Remember real silver "fractional" (dimes, quarters etc) would be nice instead of constantly same design.
Another Great Video! I am chipping away at my tube of Buffalo's.
Nice! 🦬🦬
Ive picked up a few of the 1/4 Britannia’s. I really think those are the best looking. I think I will work on a tube of those. They are usually the best deals out there and I think if you did the math and compared what you could sell them for, you would lose the least so that would put them overall the best right now. Only until the AGE premiums come down. I don’t think you can go wrong with the maples either, but that Queen is the worst image of all the Queen profiles in my opinion.
Ha, it all comes down to the Queen. 😄 I’m with you on the spread.
The Maples are definitely pretty but I have a serious crush on the Britannias!
Yeah, they’re both great!
My next gold purchase is a 2022 gold 1 oz. Though you've got me thinking one of these years I might just do a quart once challenge where I pick up 1 ever month I don't think I'll do it any time soon cause I like stocks more and have a good basis with silver and gold. But I like that you gave me the idea of 1 quarter once gold coin every month for a year = 3 oz of gold.
It’s a good price point.
Krugerrand, Maples, Brittanias, Philharmonics, Kangaroos, Eagles/Buffaloes, 10 oz each. That was/is my stacking goal. Eagles and Buffaloes I count together due to their high premiums, here in Europe.
I’m short of two oz Kangaroos and three oz Brittanias. Once those are completed, I’ll make a new plan.
Thanks for the vid!
The 10 oz idea is where I'm at right now. I might just bring a few to 5 oz. Then to 10 oz. Cheers!
I’d like to hear more about your vault and the process of getting that set up. Maybe info about monthly or yearly fees associated. Are you worried that there would be a chance you could not get to your coins. ie; power outages, bank closure, or other very bad scenarios?
If we got to that, we’d be in full cowboy mode. I have other things for that kind of world! 😅
I got your point on the vault info, though. I’ll work on something. Cheers!
@@2is1gold When you do your vault video I, and I am sure others, would be grateful if you would touch on:
(1) how to recognise/do due diligence to ensure a reputable/reliable service provider, and
(2) out-of-country vaulting services (offering vaults in different countries, shipment between their vaults, shipment to you, the customer, wherever you move to).
Geographical and political diversification (not only in PM) seem to be coming increasingly desirable.
I JUST PICKED UP A 1/4 oz A.G.E. FOR $516.00.REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS.I BEEN SUBSCRIBE FOR ABOUT A YEAR MAYBE LONGER.BEEN STACKING ONLY SINCE 2020 JUST BEFORE EVERYTHING WENT CRAZY.THE FIRST THING I BOUGHT WAS A 10 oz SILVER BAR FOR $185.27.I WISH I STARTED STACKING A LONG TIME AGO.I JUST DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT BUYING SILVER AND GOLD.AND I AM IN MY 50s.
I just grabbed a 1/4 oz AGE too. You came in at an interesting time!
@@2is1gold A LITTLE TO LATE.I WISH I GOT INTO STACKING SOONER.JUST LIKE WE ALL DAY IF I ONLY KNEW NOW WHEN I WAS ?
I bought Britannias. The new Britannia 2022 is released in a few days. I'm looking forward to owning some of those too. A beautiful looking coin.
Yes, it is!
Hi, 2. Fill a tube with 50 Peso coins. *:-)* *TYU*
😄
I love them all but Brittania has been my favorite for a while....the design is just gorgeous!
It’s definitely a great looking coin!
My preference are buffalo, either silver, or gold. I’m happy to get some others as well, but buffalo are just my personal preference.
At 70 y/o, I arrived late to the gold party. Have silver, collected it for years, have woo woo of it in my safes. But 2 is 1 helped accelerate my purchasing of gold. I love diversity in my gold portfolio - it's the 'collector' in me - not a 'stacker'. In my humble opinion, the premiums I'm paying on 1/4 ouncers, and fractional 5-10 gram bars, will evaporate if the dollar, the economy, inflation, and goodness knows, all the other factors that will hit our wallets and $ savings, send gold up, up, up. Set it (buy it) and forget it.
There are worse things than coin premiums to spend money on. Cheers!
@@2is1gold No kidding! And I try to abstain from those! Cheers to you too.
I actually haven't purchased any gold due to work but might be a blessing ....but keeping the powder dry or just go to Vegas and have a little bit of fun. Might go back to my currency collection
A currency collection isn’t a bad idea. 😄
It's a challenging conundrum. Have you thought of moving down to the 1/2 oz. option and doing a "fill-the-tubes-race" between the Britannia and the Maple based on which coin has the lower monthly premium?
I've kicked it around. I like the 1 oz premiums, though.
For me it's pretty easy. When I buy bullion from outside the US it's mostly a Maple leaf. The numbers don't lie and the buy sell spread is the slimmest for them. I like the Britannia's too (and I own one) but for me I get a little less back when I resell them. I decided that I'm ok with keeping my sales under 25 ounces of Maples a year or just taking the paperwork hit if I have to sell more. Thanks and good luck with your choice!
You know what bugs me about the Maple Leaf? Yep, the diameter of the coin. I am Jack’s medulla oblongata. 😄
Enjoyed the video, the mint will never make fractional gold buffaloes as you mentioned in a earlier video might overtake the Gold Eagle, regarding reporting the Maple over 25 ounces, if that law regarding the reporting to the IRS anything over $600.00 goes into effect that will be for all coins/transactions. Talk about a kick in the ass.
It goes into effect in January. That's for cash apps like Venmo, though.
Love the Britt, just got my first two, Such a beautiful coin! It's my new goal behind my 5 9's Call of the Wild series from the RCM. Really looking forward to a tube of these over time.
They really are nice. The detail is unlike any other gold coin.
Great video, thanks. BTW - love the Holme & Hadfield in black
Fun case. Looks a little better than a locked up pelican! 🤩
you have plenty of liquid gold 1 oz coins now. Why not go with something a little bigger like the 50gram pamp bars for example cheaper than the standard 1 oz bar. Bring your cost down quickly or you can go wth RCM 1 oz bars all in assays and serialized as well very safe and recognizable.
It's a good thought. I'm considering larger bars.
Totally awesome Coins man!👍....greetings from the Netherlands!!😇
👋
I love stacking, (usually one Oz) the tenth Oz gold Eagles. If I can get them on sale, (I’m well known there as a buyer) from my LCS.
I’m so glad I did and may buy more if the "sale" goes back on. Seriously beautiful.
Would like all the "fractional" even better if each size had different and beautiful designs. Remember real and different designs like on, (junk) silver "fractional" (dimes, quarters etc) would be nice instead of constantly same design.
PS The Gold Maple Leafs are amongst the most "stunningly beautiful” coins I’ve ever seen.
I'm with you on CMLs being stunning, and would also love to see different designs at different sizes. The Mint isn't very creative, unfortunately. Cheers!
You are clearly not an OG Krugerrand guy. Don't blame you. I have a number of them, but I'd like to trade them out for an American, Canadian or British 1 oz. Nice gold show!
I have one! 😂
I made the switch to britannias, the security features combined with 24k, low premium and government backed made it a clear winner.
Lots of pros!
Make a tube of Viena Philharmonic. Nice Coin, low premium..
I can't jam them into a 32mm capsule, though! 😅
@@2is1gold Buy a tube that can accommodate capsules for Philarmonics
How about a five 9's RCM coin, like the call of the wild series? The elk, the bobcat, wolf, bear, etc are all beautiful coins. And the swagger of a 99.999% fine gold coin is tough to deny.
Consecutive mentions of the Call of the Wild coins!
2021 Britannia is the great looking coin with best security on the market , my number 1 choice
This is definitely true.
Buffalo monster box or bust. 1/2 oz lady fortuna is a good size and sometimes available cheap. Think of all You'll save on capsules! I am small time but go with the variety is the spice of life method
I feel like an orange monster box would stand out in a SHTF situation! 😂
My choice is the eagles now but iam storing mostly green backs just in case it takes a big dip i think used vehicles is a great asset brought 2 last week for future trades great video my friend wonderful source of information
Thanks!
Moving a tube of 1 oz oro coins for cash will be challenging no matter how nice your coins are. Results will vary though depending on where you live and the market you are selling into. I will not wish to leave any sort of paper trail when I sell. I need cash on the barrel head for my oro. Dealing in cash-outside of the banking system is one of the main reasons I own yellow metal.
I get what you’re saying. It’s hard to know where we’re going. I’ve moved several tubes of Eagles in the past with no trouble whatsoever, though. The local shops have said they’ve done the same with Krugs and Maples, but will do it without hesitation for Eagles (and presumably Buffalos). Again, it’s hard to say what the case will be in the future. Hope you’re doing well. ✊
@@2is1gold Thanx for the well wishes. I am in prepping mode, not stacking mode. Prices are skyrocketing so its time to make sure everything is in order. 2022 will be a tumultuous year. I hope your house in order and the family is well.
@@glenh4971 - It’s getting ever harder not to leave a paper trail. The banks round my way get stroppy when you want to take more than a few hundred out in cash. “Why would you even want to do that?” I got asked last week.
@@sirrathersplendid4825 Banks cannot be trusted. Insist on getting cash. I live in Panama. Its getting harder and harder there also.
Yeah, it's tough to avoid the queen on coins. But, with each passing year, it becomes less likely she'll be on the next years releases.
Ha, that’s true. Do we get to skip Charles?
@@2is1gold she might outlive him
The UK has just started a new series, The Tudor Beast. Gold and Silver.
Yeah, I'm on the fence. I haven't seen it in person, but I like the design. I just don't like the price I'm seeing yet.
I decided on some krugs, but when I got down to the shop yesterday he had six 1/10 maples & five 1/10 eagle so asked about price expecting something crazy, he said $190 a piece! I thought that was pretty great compared to apmex so I grabbed the lot. No dull brown krugs to add to the no emotional attachment pile, I just couldn’t pass up on the price. I don’t get how apmex is getting away with charging $270 for a tenth oz-
Wow, that's a hell of a deal!
I just picked up a 2012 1/10 gold eagle for $220 and thought that was decent. $190… that’s awesome.
Unreal deal 1/10th oz eagles online are close to $250 right now
I want your LCS!
You should try the gold Libertads. They look nice, they’re rare, and they will bring a little more at selling time. Oh, did I mention they’re rare?
The problem is getting them at a reasonable price....
Rate is the problem! 😄 I don’t want to have to hunt and overpay!
Love the idea of bars, but the non-uniform shape of the assay cards is a no-go for me. Most retail packaging seems like a lopsided nightmare to physically stack/store. Maybe an assayed square Geiger bar could work for me.
That bugs me too.
Very good video. I really value and appreciate the info you give out about purchasing gold. You hit all the points and tell it like it is without the BS. You just make a lot of sense! Due to my monthly financial means I really can only afford the fractional gold coins. The tenth oz is ok for me but I like saving for the quarter oz size. I really wish they would bring back the fractional buffaloes. Also I strongly agree with you on an update redesign for the obverse on the eagles.
Fractional Buffalos would be wildly popular!
When you purchase your coins, do you buy current year, random year, secondary market, or which ever is the lowest cost? Also, I really like PM Bars but your swaying me on future purchases with gold. I think with silver the 10oz bar is always the best way to go but gold maybe a different story. And finally, I didn't think any dealer would ever pay spot for any PM. It's good to know it's possible.
I don't care about year at all on Buffalos. I do care on coins where there's a feature change like Maples and Britannias, and I prefer the Type 2 Eagles. 👍
It's interesting how you like the radial lines. I'm so new to this there when I see the old design on the Maple Leafs I think wow that's cool! I guess I prefer things with a little more history as well.
They shine more. There’s not much more than that. The older coins are great too. ✊
When I first seriously began stacking 18 months ago, I had more of a "what if SHTF" mentality and so started out with fractional bars (5 grs), combi bars (Valcambi), RCM 5 x 1/10 oz packs. I didn't want to barter for a gallon a gas holding only a $2,000 Eagle. Since getting that out of my system I'm now sticking with 1oz and 1/4 oz Eagles, 1oz, 1/4 oz and 1/10 oz Maples, although recently I couldn't resist a gold Queens Beast. Glad to see you dipping your toe into the Maple waters...however I did sell 3 1oz Maples just a couple of months ago and could get only $10 below spot for them...I did purchase a couple rolls of silver Britannias and they're beautiful. BTW...do you try and stick with BU coins or are you not put off by "lightly used" offerings?
Most of my coins purchased up to the shop closures in March 2020 were purchased at local shops, so 9 out of 10 were secondhand. Some of them had slight marks. I also tended to buy random year when I bought online, but with the recent demand, those deals kind of dried up. So, I’m mostly buying BU lately. Cheers!
Poured bars are harder to fake. Stamped well liked but low circulated poured bars like Scottsdale buttons are immensely less likely forged. Most fakes come from overseas so Engelhard and Scottsdale gold pours are rare to ever be faked
Yeah, maybe.
I love the beauty of the gold Maple. The only thing is that it's small in diameter 😂 wish it was bigger (even if flatter).
Me too. We should start a club.
Get Philharmonics. They are huge in diameter and fairly thin 😂
@@martymcfly9381 I absolutely love the dimensions of the gold Phil but I really wish it didn’t say “weiner” on it and had something a little cooler looking than musical instruments 🙄
@@TheOldSchoolExpert I don’t mind a couple of music instruments between all the goddesses in togas and flora and fauna from around the planet, that are shown on my other coins. Get 10 Phil’s, display them in front of you and the width of your grin will correlate with the width of the coins. Guaranteed 🤩
@@martymcfly9381 I actually went to my LCS a couple days ago and asked him to pull out one of each gold coin he had so I could look at them and buy one. He pulled out a Kruggerrand (awful copper color and ugly design), a Buffalo (I already had 2), a 2009 Eagle (I have a 1923 Gaudens Double Eagle) and a Philharmonics. I have to say, I was super impressed with the aesthetics of the Phil, and holding it felt amazing with that large diameter. But the damn design gets me. I just don’t like it much. I’m sure I’ll pick one up one day but idk when. By the way, I went with the Buffalo so now I have 3 🤷♂️. It’s a gorgeous coin in my opinion 😊
I have a couple of Buffaloes, Maples and Britannia - but I'm far from reaching the full tube for any of those. I personally much prefer the aesthetics of Buffalo above any other coins, my second option is definitely Maples. Britannia are nice, but there's something about it that doesn't make me want to stack more than the 2 I already have. Not sure what it is, though... 22kt coins are a no-go for me (I don't live in the US).
I have something stopping me on Britannias too. Logically, they should be a top choice, but I always end up grabbing something else.
Hey bro have you considered buying the 24k grain shot as a stacking option, love your videos
I haven’t. You know what I’d do with gold shot? Probably spill it. 😄
You already know the answer of best coin to stack. You live in the US it is the Buffalo or Eagle. Period. When I buy a coin I am thinking about how easy it will be to sell. I don't buy coins to look at, I buy for gold content. I don't play with my coins or look at them. And I would always wait till I had enough money to purchase a one once coin no matter how long it took rather than pay the money for more frequent fractional gold purchases at much higher premiums. With that said for full disclosure I did purchase a couple maple leafs just for fun. I like the looks of that coin but would never seriously accumulate them.
Yep, you're doing it right. These videos flipped some kind of switch in me, though. I like more variety than makes sense. Cheers!
I like to buy kangeroo.. because each year it is a different design
Your thoughts on small bars? 5 and 10 gram stacking like baseball cards or wait, save and buy quarter ounce or larger ?
I like 1/4oz a lot. Grams get expensive.
I’m just a vanilla kind of guy, buffalos for me.
They check all the boxes!
Though my main coins are Eagles and Buffalos, I tend to get the CML’s when I just wanna add an ounce to the stack at low premiums. I like the Britannia’s too but only own a few.
Sounds similar to what I’m up to.
@@2is1gold yeah, like you I want to own what is easy to sell. Nothing I gotta find a special buyer for.
I have a 1oz krug, brit, buffalo, maple, AE type 1, and AE Type 2. I was curious and called apmex to see what they offered, they offered me spot for all of them, guess they don’t care what you have.
Yeah, wild. A local coin shop will give you a different answer.
Just got my 29th & 30th Britannia for 3.5% over spot. The 2021 version is the best yet. Unfortunately the Buffalo premium is so high where I am it makes no sense. I think whatever the lowest premium 24k coin in your region is the best coin. If price doesn’t matter to you then that is a difficult choice as there are some gorgeous coins out there.
Liquidity matters most of all to me, so there are 2 great options, and then 5 good options there. Price is then the variable. Britannias at 3.5% are hard to overlook!
@@2is1gold yeah got lucky. My Dealer had a flash sale of 2021 Brits to make way for the 2022 ones arriving this week. Wish I could of grabbed more but I’m way over budget this month now 😂
Good review. Especially since I’m in the same position.
👍
I have nearly 7 oz of gold, but I haven’t started “stacking” any particular coin. My stack looks like a total grab bag. I even have some pre 33 stuff. I don’t necessarily view that as a bad thing, because it gives me a mix of different options to help me decide which one thing I do want to stack. Right now, I’m looking at 1/2 oz Eagles. I keep enough cash sidelined to get me through a $500 emergency without breaking a sweat. So, the 1/4 oz doesn’t make much sense to me. I’m sure I’ll at least pick up a gold buffalo at some point as well. But, the 1/2 oz 🦅 is going to be my focus going forward.
Don’t like any of queen coins so it’s eagles buffaloes and US commemorative coins(close to spot as possible) or poured gold bars just me
You aren't alone.
In here South korea, gold coins are cheaper than gold bars per gram!
Great video! I’m in Asia so the Maple’s are the clear favorite here. The Britannia’s are nice as well but not as popular here. If it were me, I’d keep stacking more Buffaloes. I know that you’re definitely contemplating that as well. I’m sure that whatever you choose you’ll be a happy camper. 😀
Yeah, all three of those options are just great coins!
I have no idea why but something about those dos pesos I really like. Unfortunately liquidity issues are a major hurdle and prevent me from really thinking about purchasing any however.
Mexican gold is all cool!
Love your videos, keep them coming!
Thanks!
find one of the gold rwandan ship series. did you get any gold geigers? i know they are collectors.
I don't have any Geigers. I have a Silver Geiger, I guess. 😄
I stay with Govt. Minted coins and look for the lowest premiums. I have kangaroos, krugs, and Brits so far.
Makes sense. ✊
I bought a bar a couple years ago around 1450 and sold it last year, getting back in the game and getting my first coin tomorrow!
P.S anyone have any strong opinions on Austrian philharmonics? Love my silver one
The Philharmonics are very nice!
Funny I just watched this after pulling the trigger on a Double Pixiu, which I have admired for a while now. Not sure I’ll be able to complete the series though after hearing how hard it was to find the Phoenix @2is1

One of these days I need to buy a 50 gold pesos 1.205 troy ounces. They go for about $2,400 to $3000 depending on year and condition.
I need one too!
One would be pretty set with a tube of buffs and eagles. USA USA USA!
Or just a mixed tube. No doubles.
Ha!
:( I bought my first ounce of gold, an APMEX bar. The shipment took a while (Not their fault) and I had to pick it up at a UPS store in the end. The quality leaves something to be desired. I can't tell if it's just the plastic case it came in, but it looks like there's a tiny bubble and maybe a few scratches.
Great video once again....thank you.

It's beautiful but the reverse I hate.
