1oz Gold Eagle Vs. 1/4oz Gold Eagle; Which is BETTER?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- I've been asked about which gold eagle is the best to stack; this video gives my two cents on the topic.
I stack silver and gold to hedge against our debt-fueled, fiat currency-based economy that I am convinced is in severe trouble. Consider stacking silver and gold yourself to help you build and preserve wealth. And thank you for watching Campbell’s Coins!

1 oz. Is my go to. I get the angle leaning towards 1/4’s but my budget can afford the full ounce coins. I like the weight in my hand. I also am more of a fan of the buffalo, not eagles. That 24k just is so much more beautiful imo.
they should use copper instead of silver in the gold eagle to give the pre33 look which is nice..the silver dulls the color in todays eagles.
@@tracy2762 I really love holding pre33 in my hand, no gloves. I love thinking about the stories it could tell. Liberties especially. Pre 1900’s something about a 150* year old coin.
Yep I agree! Thanks for watching!
@@tracy2762 That's a good point
@@CampbellsCoins thanks for making your videos, your one of my favorite content creators
1/4 oz makes a lot of sense but the 1/10 entry price makes it the choice for many many gold stackers.
I agree. I do think that the quarter ounce gold eagles are in that sweet spot between the tenth ounce and full ounce. That's why when it comes to silver, anything over 10 oz I start to think about picking up some fractional gold
Agreed 👍
If your looking for fractionals hit me at #joepeoples23 also have proof buffalo's blue box
Quarter Oz is definitely my sweet spot but once I get this capsule tube filled I'll be filling a tenth oz capsule tube, then saving up for the full Oz eagle then the buffalo. I recently committed to getting each of the Spanish mint tenth oz releases just to finally be able to get all the releases in a series. Great video and points Campbell
I’m with you on the Spanish Mint 👍
The one tenth ounce is a waste of money. Maples or Britts are a better buy for a quarter ounce.
Thanks Anxious!
Might as well buy a few 10 oz bars after you fill your tubes:)
Simple the one you can afford… I think it is nice to have some smaller coins just for smaller purchases. If you can stack the only 1/10th at a time or the 1/4 then do so. If you can more easily throw down for the big one by all means do so. My first gold is trying to fill a tube of 20 of the 1/10th coins
The 1/4oz gold eagle is my preferred size. I will on occasion buy a 1/10oz eagle, but only when I really want more gold but can't buy a 1/4oz. Since I'm on a budget, the 1/2oz Eagle will take longer for me to save up than I'm willing to wait between purchases and the full ounce is "Right Out!"
From personal experience the quarter ounce is much easier to sell. Since I plan to sell my gold eventually before I pass away I do prefer to pay the premiums for ease of selling.
Love me some Campbell's coins videos, always a must watch for me!. Keep up the great work my man!
Thanks! Will do! 😎🙌
I know I'm new at this, but from my Lehman's perspective, the best coin is the one you can afford.
If that's the 1/10th ounce, go for it.
If that's the 1ounce go for it.
Just don't drive yourself into bankruptcy trying to collect gold coins because someone has convinced you that only the 1 ounce coins are coat effective because of premium pricing.
I am sure I'll get at least one person telling me I'm wrong. I don't mind.
Remember, my point is to buy what YOU can afford.
No your not wrong about buy what you can afford. Don't use any credit for payment unless your going to immediately pay it off
@@silverstormienormie6146 I agree with you on that too! Definitely *don't* use credit.
@@mdredheadguy1979 awesome enjoy the Superbowl thankyou for responding
@@mdredheadguy1979 just checked and Silver Gold Bull has a qrtr gold random eagle for $519. That's currently a damn good price for that. I think I'm gonna order one?
I would argue that if selling a quarter ounce of gold "gets you out of trouble" financially then maybe you shouldn't be in Gold - that goes for any asset class.
Bigger is better. But, given the possible scenarios coming, I'd go with the quarter.
I disagree
@goldeneye70 , Thank you for watching the video. Please explain. I'm very open to your thoughts. New sub to your channel.
You predicted pretty well haha
I’m going with the 1/4 oz for the purpose of selling when needed.
I bought 3 1/4 oz eagles and 1 1/4 oz panda in last week. I like the liquidity factor. But thinking bout getting my first full oz piece also
I prefer 1oz but I think it’s also important to have fractional gold 👊🏻 great video CC 😎👊🏻
Thanks Patriotic!
I stack 1ozt but going to switch to 1/2 ozt just works for me👍
Good stuff!
I am one that thinks that way also. I am not going to sit around with a few hundred dollars in my pocket waiting for a dip when it might have been yesterday. And the money goes elsewhere.
I buy when I have the cash. Damn the torpedoes and give me the gold. Great video. Thank you. 👍
Well said!😎
I just got in a tube for 1/4 Gold, and I’m planning on filling it over time. 5 down 15 to go 😎.
Nicely done man!😎
I would love if the US mint would make a 1/4 ounce gold Buffalo . I know they made them in 2008 but they should bring them back as a forever piece.
Right there with you!
The most sought after gold coin amongst my LCS around are the Buffalo
Not surprising.
I was debating between the 1oz ,1/2oz and 1/4oz. I definitely see the value of having fractional Gold. I also want to at least have five 1/10oz for the stack. I personally think listening to this video I would rather have a 1/2oz and two 1/4oz than a 1oz Gold coin. Plus saving up for a full 1oz Gold coin would definitely take more discipline and patience to save up the money.
"Plus saving up for a full 1oz Gold coin would definitely take more discipline and patience to save up the money."
Yes, it would. But then, is this not the very essence of stacking? 😉
All excellent points bro. I love both and I think both have their advantages for the the reasons you listed. Apparently you and I agree about the Buffalo being our favorite as well. But the AGE is definitely a very VERY close second for me. Great video bro.
Very nice and informative video !!!
0:57 - Thank you for saying that 👍!
Many RUclipsrs from the states forget,that RUclips is actually world-wide media with people all over the world and that means different.....practically everything 🤷♂️
And when it comes to investment gold the things can be and they are quite different.
In my country for example ( east Europe ) the eagle and the buffalo are almost the worst buy ,,you" can do.
Why ?
Well, at the first place political reasons,
extremely higher price, and a bit problematic liquidity = I am not saying, that a gold dealer will not buy your buffalo, but it's possible to hear
- yes, we are buying eagles and buffaloes, BUT just not in the moment.
So my very personal advice for every staker is to check which coins are with 24/7 liquidity before buying !
Greetings 🍻
Glad you liked it. Thanks for stopping by!
I like the half ounces best myself. Most of my AGEs are 1/4 ounce, then 1/2, and full ounce and 1/10s the least. I have more 1ounce Buffalos than I do AGEs.
All gold is good gold. 😎
I agree that the qrtr oz gold is a good sweet spot. Wish they made qrtr gold buffaloes again. Thankyou
Advantages to both and good points to think about both...thanks!
You bet!
I agree, which is why my stack contains both full and fractional oz. gold coins. I like the size and heft of the 1-oz. coins
and I like the flexibility of the fractional coins. I might not want to sell a full oz. at some point, so having some 1/4 and
1/2 oz. coins should help with that.
I’m stacking 1/4 oz for the same reasons you mention, and stacking cash for when the price drops and I can pick up some 1 oz versions.
My exact plan also. I'm close to finishing my 1/4 oz gold tube, then if gold drops big time I will have cash for 1 oz purchases.
😎
I love the 1/4 oz. Eagles. Plan on getting some soon
Nice!
Yes, same here. I'm thinking of getting 10 of them in my next gold buy. Most
of my 1/4 oz. gold coins are Maples, so some AGEs would be good to have.
I don't know about "the sweet spot" in gold coins but do know that I like AGEs a LOT better than buffalos. I don't buy the little 1/10 oz. gold coins
because of their dinky size and their high premium per oz. of gold purchased. I like the 1/4 and 1/2 oz. sizes but maybe 2/3 of my gold stack is
in 1-oz. coins. I used to stack only Maples and Eagles but have since added Britannias as well. All are beautiful coins and I enjoy stacking them.
My purpose for owning gold is to use as supplemental retirement income, in case our current retirement income is decimated by inflation, and to
make sure that we can pay our property taxes, even during any hard times that come along. If the stack is not needed for hard times during our
lives, then it will go to our two children and 2 grand children. Hopefully, it will be of help to them if hard times manage to be delayed until we pass
them on. That seems like a low probability but who knows? Weird things ARE happening, practically on a daily basis these days.
I've traveled several times with my fractional eagles mixed in with pocket change TSA in none the wiser.
I ended up ordering a 1/2oz Gold Eagle. It was like $40.00 cheaper than ordering two 1/4oz Gold Eagles. I’m still going to get a 1oz Gold coin and some 1/4oz Gold coins. I was checking out the St.Gaudens Double Eagle but realized they charge tax on it. So most likely going to save up and get a Gold Buffalo. I personally want to stack all the fractional sizes. I want to at least have five 1/10oz Gold coins.
Any gold is good gold! Thanks for watching!😎
Currently, the 1/4 oz Eagles are selling for $521 on Monument’s site, but Bold has them for $515, and as we all know, every dollar 💵 counts. I need 4 more to complete my tube (of 20 in capsules), and then I will be concentrating on full 1 oz Eagles 🦅.
I started with 1/10 ounce gold eagles then quarter ounce then half ounce then 1 oz lol Gold fever is real!!! I think if u can afford it to have all sizes kind of diversify. of course i bought almost all mine when gold was $1100 an ounce better prices/ premiums. cool video
I would look on how much a one ounce cost then what is the buy back price same with the 1/4 oz I would check to see how much 4 of them would cost me along with the buy back price
Both are good but the 1/4 oz is better because it's cheaper in terms of total cost. No doubt people will argue for the 1 oz saying the premium is less. Let me tell you, I don't look at premium, I look at total cost - what does it cost overall, what's the cost of shipping, are there any taxes on top of this, whats the percentage I have to pay if I use my credit card vs money order. All of that matters.
I love the Britannia and Maples. I like the 1/4 ounce as well.
I like diversifying my sizes. I think 1oz is great for long term stacking. I like the 1/4 oz for its liquidity as it is much easier to sell to a larger precious metal customer base. Another thing to consider, is that if gold ever hits over 10k in my lifetime, I don't want to have to endure further loss by having to pay Uncle Sam his cartel cut, if I decide to cash out some gold. I would rather sell 1/4 oz gold over separate day transactions to keep each cash transaction under the 10k reporting threshold. 😉
I just bought 20 1/2 oz gold Maple Leafs. I started with 1oz Maple Leafs and my OCD makes me stick with the theme. Even tho the Eagle is more popular I can't get over they're not as pure. I know, it doesn't matter. I can't help myself
Don't blame you. Whatever works for you!
Agree that purity is much more about the attitudes of people buying and selling gold than it is about the gold itself. I think that in some cases, the difference between 3-9s and 4-9s is probably due more to rounding the assay numbers than it is to any real difference in purity. Even if not, well,
a 1-oz gold coin always contains 1 full oz. of gold, regardless of purity.
The LCSs around me are WAY overpriced! Much better prices online. Even Apmex have better prices than my LCSs.
That's too bad. Buy from my LCS Avenue Coin.
Same here. My I visited my LCS today and he was WAY over priced.
I’m stacking most of the money I’ll get refunded from my returns. Was undecided as to what other gold to buy. I’ll probably have enough for a 1/4 oz. This video came out at the right time. Thanks.
My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by!
Always good to budget and buy accordingly and definitely stay within you what you can afford? Flashy coins are nice but I'll stay in my DCA along the way. 1/4 or 1/10 Is fine with me just enough to keep within the stack. Keep up the great work. 👊
Thank you!
@@CampbellsCoins Your Welcome!
Well I guess I’m moving to Canada, have mostly Canadian coins.
I personally stack all fractional. Mostly 1/4 and 1/2. If you look back to 2001 gold was like $250 an ounce. Thats about 8x in about 20 years. If gold 8x again over the next 20-30 years (my personal stacking window) then it might be difficult to find a buyer who has $18,000 laying around to buy your full coins. That's my hyper optimistic outlook but realistically i just want more coins, i would rather blow an extra couple hundred and have 4 shiney gold coins than just one. Over the buying period of 4 coins if you just stop eating fast food at $15 a trip you won't even feel that premium difference.
Dude is right about the 1/4oz is less obvious. I have traveled many times with gold. Anything in tubes will attract the attention of the TSA. The last time i traveled to the states, i bought 2 1/4 oz eagles and mixed them in a bag of constitutional silver. They didn't even look at them. Every time i had gold in tubes/capsules i got pulled out of line for a visual search.
"1oz Gold Eagle Vs. 1/4oz Gold Eagle"
I'll take the 1 ounce! I want it big enough to SEE it.
Wow! That's Heavy brother 😎 👍I pick the one ounce coin all day everyday......you kno it!!!😁
😎
the only ones I have are 1/10 oz but I don't stack very much anyway
Hey, doing what you can do is good. Lots of people out there who could stack
are not doing so. A time very well might come when they will wish that they had.
I want to see the painting in the back
Hands down if you've never owned piece of order in your life, the one ounce called eagle should be the first.
We need to get on the horn, and demand 1/4 oz buffalos. Could you imagine if by some fluke of nature they listened. Small time collectors would never be able to get our hands on them. "Pre order now. Estimated shipping date 2033".
Great video....I will say this..Platinum is the ultimate sleeper....Once BRICS takes off and the invisible war/power vaccum get resolved Platinum will skyrocket...All metals have been restricted as we all know however Platinum is imo the best deal period...China is picking up swaths of Platinum...Between new technologies...new car production...Platinum will imo be way more than gold ...Its rarity no doesnt mean value however its usage will ultimately make it skyrocket
I dream of a day of being able to afford a 1/4 or a half! MUCH LESS A WHOLE OUNCE! LOL
What are your thoughts on pre-33 U.S. coins?
You'll get there. Love pre33. Have lots of videos going over them.
Four 1/4 oz gold eagles= $40 face value. One 1 oz Gold eagle = $50 face value. If you ever need to make a case that you are carrying them as if you were carrying "cash" at face value, then you can carry more gold per face value with the 1/4 ouncers.
That is an interesting point. I'll have to do a video on denomination.
Absolutely The quarter eagle, how are you going to barter and trade a 1 oz gold coin?
wow that 1/10 oz isn’t even worth buying with that premium
Coin of the realm.
sd bullion has the best prices and options in my opinion their my go 2.
Id prefer 1oz but here in aussie thats 2700+ so i have to get the 1/4 coins and 1gram bars
Our bullion in aussie tax exempt
I want a 1/2 oz for a pendent I currently have a 1/4 oz
1/4oz the best ones imo, its easier to sell them and you can stack them better
I really dig them.
Well i don’t know. The whole video seems to circle around buying 1 coin or a couple of the small ones. Whoever does that…
Isn’t the goal to stack up a treasure chest?
It's almost like I'm presenting the audience with info for both options so they can make up their own damn minds what is best for them. 😅
I have gold eagles in all the different sizes that I bought more than a year ago.the premium is too high now for me. I have been buying gold cast bars at a lower premium but now they are scarce. I think if I needed a loaf of bread when shtf I can scrape off some flakes on a cast bar. I can’t do it with an eagle 🤔
Actually, you can. Use a file or a drill. Makes nice grains or shavings that can be weighed out for buying things. Yes, it is a little
messy but if we are doing that to survive, a lot of things will be messy at that time. Some use gold chains for this by clipping off
a few links to pay for purchases in places where gold is in use as money. This is ]convenient but the premium on any jewelry
product is atrocious compared to coins and even more so when compared to bars.
But buying daily needs should be best handled by silver coins, so having some of them in hand is good too. I like US 90% silver
coins minted before 1965, ASEs, and Maples.
Should i stick to stacking one type of gold coin? I like the eagles.
I would never tell you what to do, but sticking to one type makes it much easier for you to sell in the future.
From where I’m sitting the full 1oz is best. Why? 9% sales tax for any bullion purchase under $1500. Full 1 oz = spot + premium, 1/4 oz = spot + premium + 9% tax.
Yeah, I've got sales tax on bullion in my state. That's why I get three 1/4oz eagles.
All, but,I wish I had some 1/10 ounces.
Why decide? With the power of RAR you can buy both and so much more!
It went way up 2,053 per ounce 4/13/23 Texas
I really like 1/4.
😎💯
I would love to purchase more 1/4 Oz AGE but the premium is roughly 13.5% over spot, or over $250 per Oz over spot. That's from Monument Metals, the lowest premium online bullion dealer. Premium for 1/4 Oz AGE is high, more than double the premium when buying a full ounce of AGE but when compared to the premium for 1 Oz of silver gold eagles, it's actually much, much lower premiums. So I guess if you look at it from that perspective, 1/4 Oz AGE isn't too bad.
I don't like the way gold eagles look, they are just ugly, maples are beautiful, they shine, are more pure , even with silver eagles , the only time I buy is when they are messed up and cheap.
I seem to be the lone stacker of 1/2 oz
One of the brave few.
I feel the Quarter ounce is the best for several reasons.
Give me the quarter eagle so I can stack the Buffalo!
BOTH
At $674 why not simply by 2X 10 Oz bars of silver and top it off with a 4X silver rounds or 3 American Silver Eagles?
Gold stores wealth more efficiently.
@Campbell's Coins yes, but steps taken. NOW! ZERO zero discussion re: RATIO! 84:1! No one discusses the manipulated ratio vs the 45:1 ratio in 2011 nor the patience required to sit tight.
@@GoodmanMIke59 OHHHH I've discussed the ratio. I went into historical ratios, present day and what I'd like to see in the future. Search it on my channel and a couple vids should pop up.
It is interesting that the 1/2 oz isn't as popular as the 1/4 and 1 oz. New normals suck. 'Nuff said! While I am watching this video I opened a spreadsheet and found out that I actually have 3 times as many 1/2 oz AGEs than I do 1/4 oz. This was not on purpose, however, but a symptom of a few purchases from different estates a number of years ago. After watching your video, it occurs to me that perhaps I should try to trade those 1/2s for two 1/4s. I'm with you on the 24k Buffalo. I really, really like them. As for what to expect with metals, now we're seeing world economic powers bypassing the dollar to trade in their own currencies. How can this do anything but weaken the dollar? I think it's a good sign for metals, but a bad sign for the world's reserve currency...
Fractional gold has a huge premium
If you are a collector and buying gold for any price is not an issue, buying the proof 1/2 oz gold eagle is the best. Why ? 1/2 oz proof gold Eagles have the lowest mintages of all the fractional gold eagle coins. This is more for collectors than stackers and if your into low mintage gold.
great video content!
Appreciate it bro!
Let’s See your painting behind this
Where did u get it
I like those plastic coin stands- where did you buy them?

Thanks!
Bro I died laughing at don't be suspicious 😂
😂💯
Before you stack, you better have at least 1-2K cash at all times lying around. If you want to get a shock, go to the bank and ask for a band. That's always fun.
Yup
A lot of banks only have a small amount of cash on hand but it is not hard to request cash from them. They will order it from their local vault,
which is usually in their main office. I do that maybe 5-6 times a year and always for the $6k to $8k I need. I usually get some $50s, lots of
$20s and $10s, plus a few $5s. Once this comes to the local branch, I drive there, ID myself, they count out the cash, and I go home happy. I
really do think that the end of cash will happen but it will happen sooner if there is little interest in using cash. Handling cash costs the banks
quite a bit of money and they would rather skip that expense if they can. But if customers continue to want and use cash, they will continue
to offer it as long as they can.
@@edb3877 "As long as they can" is the important part. A band is $10k. I dare you to ask for 2 bands and see how long it takes. So that posits the question...... Is someone really wealthy if they simply have a number on a screen. Most people I have shown this issue do not quite believe they are as wealthy as they once thought they were. You're here, so we probably think a lot alike. These are interesting times we live in.
@@youKnowWho3311 I don't accept dares in financial matters but whatever. I also don't want to order $10k or more at one time
and have that paperwork involved. Not sure how the US Gov rule on reporting sales of $600 or more will work these days, though.
I know that receiving cash from my account is not a sale but spending it could be. Anyway, it seems that this is a related issue and
I am wondering if there is overlap in this. Yes, we have more in common that most, I suspect, and for the reason you mention: our
common interest in stacking. 🙂 These are, indeed, interesting times and it seems likely that they will continue to get more
interesting as time passes.
What is a LCS?
Local Coin Shop
Why is there no date on two of my quarter ounce eagles ?
If a full ounce is $50 value, why is the quarter ounce $10 on back? It should be $12.50.
Watching this video a year later and spot is at 2300.
just curious why you say one should stack the sovereign gold coin of one's own country. why is that so?
Sovereign gold typically has better benefits toward the owner over a foreign piece. For example in Canada, they are taxed on any bullion which isn't 24k. This means gold eagles aren't advantageous for them. But in the US, there are many benefits for gold eagle holders over the maple. This isn't the case in every country, just a blanket statement.
@@CampbellsCoins "in the US, there are many benefits for gold eagle holders over the maple."... for example what? To my knowledge, eagles are more expensive than maples, so where is the advantage for Americans purchasing them? Are there tax advantages or better selling prices to be had? I guess 1oz eagles probably get $10-$20 more than a maple when sold at LCS. But you pay a lot more in premium than that when you buy them.
What does “shtf” and “Lcs” mean?
