I bought one (because I liked the U.S. History behind it, and the artwork) for $1,200.00. Now, my Coin is worth $1,900.00. I wish I would have bought more of them...
Having a global economy and social globalisation in mind, I find it difficult to suggest to hold American Coins as the primary option! I’d always prefer to diversify in Karat, Countries, Motives (Asian people don’t like fairly masculine American motives e.g.) as well as fungibility. Also, give collectors elements a chance to increase your coins value too. So, your recommendation seems short eyed to an in depth consideration and it would be by far better, less risky in the long term to recommend a mix of Kangaroos, Wiener Philharmonics, Britannias, Eagles, Buffalos, Maples, Pandas, Libertad and Krugers… All continents, max. global fungibility, partially increasing value on top of spot, etc. pp…
If you're interested in hearing more about _why_ I think it's important to buy domestic coins rather than those from foreign mints (as much as I love them), I posted an earlier video here: ua-cam.com/video/_G-j_hzuX-c/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching!
Nice video! Important to note that the gold eagle has not that much demand and liquidity here in Europe. Britannia, Austrian Philharmonics and e Canadian Maples are more liquid here
I agree with your assessment if based in America or Canada. It's a bullion contest and not a beauty contest so I think you were a bit harsh on the krugerand. It was the coin that started the 1 ounce bench mark back in 1967 with over 40 million sold worldwide and traditionally commands the lowest premium and highest liquidity internationally. In the beauty contest the buffalo wins hands down everytime. I'm in Europe and in addition to ugly krugerands I like the gold Philharmonics as well, but that's a European flipside to the Eagle.
So there are about 40 million Krugerrands in circulation, @gerry2828 kelly? How many Maple Leafs and Gold Eagles are in circulation? Just to get a reference.
@@maxsiem77 that's a good question i went and Googled it just now. Its over 50 million Krugerand minted, 26 million maple leaf. Not sure on American Gold Eagle since 1986 but some years over a million and others just under 200,000. Its still a huge number for all 3 coins. I was surprised at so many maple leafs been minted.
You should mention that you can touch and play with the coin and scratch the hell out of it. You will still get 100% spot price. You don't have to worry about anything. it's just a store of wealth.
The Australian Gold Kangaroo. New design every year which functions as a security feature, Perth Mint gold finish is beautiful, 9999 gold. You can't go wrong with any as it's gold but my preference is always Perth Mint. For fractional, I think the gold British Sovereign is an amazing coin. The coin has a great history and the imagery of the coin transcends time.
@Anthony Tsatsis You are. I'm an American but the Perth Mint is easily my favorite mint. I love the kookaburras, koalas,gold kangaroos, and their gold bars. Great products and quality.
Because it's mixed with other metals the American gold eagle I would not purchase, The gold American Buffalo is far more attractive especially in its purity not mix with other metals. Queen Elizabeth pisses me off
Fractional low premium govt coin.....british sovereigns. Check out SD bullion. 5% over spot for the 1/4 and 1/2 oz. Well.....they're just a shade under those sizes. Best price anywhere on a fractional coin.
just a word, in australia if you buy 92% gold you pay GST goods and services tax of 10%, you do not pay 10% GST on 99% gold... same with platinum and silver...
Dub City Stacker the texture of the Buffalo is very different. The flat field or a field with perfect radial lines like the Maples have will show a scratch way more easily than than the molded field of the Buffalo. I’ve never noticed micro scratches on a Buffalo. I rarely do not notice them in Maples.
GOLD IS GOLD is GOLD...any 1oz coin is fine. probably with lowest premium. That way you can ding the hell out of it and still get spot for it when you sell it.
@@2is1gold You actually had a dealer not willing to pay you spot because of a blemish. That is unheard of. I would never do business with them again. It's GOLD, the value is in the metal, not the form. You are better off selling on facebook marketplace then in the future.
@@scotttild not quite. You don’t have to file any tax forms when buying or selling eagles or buffalos. But you still have to claim it as capital gains. Filing tax forms and claiming capital gains are two different things.
@@SergiuM42 Am I missing something or is there simply no way anyone can tell how much I bought it for, then sold it for, if I walk in with a piece of metal in my hand??????
I have a 1oz. Buffalo and I love it. I also have the 1/10, 1/4, 1/2oz. Eagles and they are good too. I have to say there is something about the 24k .9999 buffalo that I like better. The color is amazing, the design is amazing and it’s more pure. I feel like you can’t go wrong with a Buffalo. As a matter of fact that is the next video I’m putting out. It’s my 11th order in stacking. A 1oz. Gold buffalo. Hope you get a chance to check it out.
I just don't buy the idea of Gold Eagles. You pay so much to the U.S. Mint for the privilege of marginally more liquidity. But to get liquidity from gold, you need a buyer who understands gold, and most buyers who understand Gold Eagles will understand almost any other form of bullion grade coin, too. I'm trying to buy a tangible asset, not a seal of approval from the government.
I've found that there are a fair amount of people (here in the U.S.) who recognize the American Gold Eagle (and American Silver Eagle) but have no clue whatsoever about any other coin. I get your point, though. Cheers!
@@2is1gold So in the US there are lots of people that do know the American Gold Eagle, but not the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Krugerrand or even the American Buffalo? In that case I would certainly go for the American Gold Eagle if I were living in America.
@@maxsiem77 right. People who buy regularly will absolutely know CMLs and Krugs (and Philharmonics, Britannias, Kangaroos, etc.) but that's such a small part of the population.
In my experience, scratches and dents do not affect affect my ability to resale buffalos or eagles. I have always been able to sell eagles back to coin shops for $10 over spot and usually get at least spot price for buffalos. As long as the weights reflect 1 oz scrap gold, the will give me the same quote regardless of condition because the are only concerned with the scrap gold value and not numismatic value.
jaden zheng I see and have been told more or less the same with Eagles and Buffalos as long as they’re in decent condition. (Maples are different in my experience.) Thanks for the info!
Not much. I know Perth Mint products are big there in addition to the Central Mint commemoratives. I imagine that’s why we see so much East Asian influence in Perth’s products (Lunars and Pearls of Wisdom, for instance).
American Gold Eagles are more popular in the US, but they're both great. If you want a 24k coin, go with the Buffalo. If it doesn't matter to you, go with the Eagle. Good luck!
He said if they are damaged some people freak out if their pretty Coin gets scratched. Not me Gold is gold as long as they are minor abrasions I will buy them. As long as the weight is not affected. This guy did a nice presentation for New Gold savers. What I have learned over the years is my Wife likes Gold. So if I buy her Earrings I will throw in a Half Ounce Eagle. She says nothing. And remember many woman can't or won't save. I have always treated my gold as my Savings Account. I always have money to fall back on if I need the plumber, need a car repair. I can sell gold anytime and always more than what I purchased it at as of this writing. Everyone's situation is different but Gold & Silver is my Place Marker in Life.
@@bustbeel1 Dealers make money on premium. so they will just reduce your premium over spot when they buy a 'damaged' coin from you. BUT the lowest premium coin you can find (which should be less than 4%) and just eat the cost and expect spot when you sell it back.
Don’t EVER sell coins on eBay!!!!!!! I did it once for a large amount gold coin and the guy placed a charge back with his credit card!!!! Lost everything
Yeah, its hard somtimes, I do sell on eBay however I have a separate bank account linked to paypal at a separate bank from my main account when it's funded I withdraw cash from the bank thats linked to pp account for a week, I then send the coin out ....you have to be careful
it makes no logical sense to buy a full one ounce of gold, i know people will argue over that the same way the enjoy arguing over basketball or ice hockey. modern silver is purely junk silver it react overtime and just turn black and ugly so just buy gold, if you are only interested in useful weight coins then buy 1/4 oz gold and that should be your local gold like the AGE. i do not think anyone should consider the buffulo as a pure bullion coin, its a semi-collectors coin and if you plan on sleeping or fondling your gold then avoid the buffalo, the ONLY ; and their is only ONE reason to buy an American buffulo coin and no other reason ; is pure BRAGGING rights !!! the absolute (bar no other) bestest coin to buy is the 1/4 oz maple. No person on planet earth who is new into coins can go wrong with this coin ! ! ! and no i am not canadian LoL, lets say you buy a 1 ounce coin and gold goes to 4,000 US$ who is going to buy it? ONLY a dealer who will give you under spot price value, remember gold never gets more expensive the gold price only has two functions = 1) how much you must pay to obtain it and the 2) MAIN reason for the gold spot price? ; the main reason is to show you how krappy your own governmental fiat currency is as a measure of wealth or value. gold is the only thing that politicans , emperoers, tyrants and dictators have ever had in common , so its time for you to join Stalin who carried a notebook in his pocket every day that recorded gold production, even at the hight of the German invasion stalin kept his gold notebook up to date but recorded things like battle tank production on loose slips of paper in his pockets. So be like stalin and see gold as the long play !!!
@@2is1gold its real simple, if your happy to kill like 35 million in purges your like Stalin, if you just want to die and ascend to the stars your like king tut... but no one can ignore these both were focused on a long play out for $$$ return overtime, its all aimed at a long play out... weather you get statutes or pyramids its all about your own level of comfort towards risk exposure ...
And you are correct about the Krugerrands. They're the first.....and they're well-respected......but I just don't like the copper color to them. Sure, the Eagle has some, but it's lightened by the silver content. Krugerrands are 100% copper for the alloy content. TOO coppery.
Krugerrands are the first-ever gold bullion coin and therefore all these other gold bullion coins might not even exist today. Krugerrands are incredibly popular in the global market and have the same 22 karats as the American Eagle coin. This UA-camr has an incredibly strong subjective bias towards American coins and shows no respect for Krugerrands which pioneered the gold bullion coin.
exactly, Krugerrands are the most popular coins for investment in the world. He think it's the american eagle ! hahahahaha, in america , sure, but not worldwide
You always get that Thumbs-up brother. I am trying to decide on what to buy today. A tube of silver buffalos or a quarter ounce eagle... What say you sir?
Hey, Henk. This was the very first video I uploaded, two and a half years ago. It doesn't come naturally to me, but my more recent videos will at least show improvement there. Cheers!
As USA yes, maybe , but USA not all world and as we want to buy as cheap as possible and also we buy for investment and stacking and not to speculate or resell, also try get at closer at spot price and dont pay to much over- australian nuggets are the best. Hard to find coin with 999.999 purity closer to spot price than perth kangaroos. 2nd austrian philharmonic.And also they both are well know world wide.
The Gold Maple Leaf is the best coin of the three. It's got the lowest premium and it's the cheapest of the three coins on average - you don't believe me check JM Bullion, Provident Metals. It's .9999 pure or 24 carat has mentioned in the video. It also its got a security feature, so it cannot be counterfeited as easily as an Eagle and a Buffalo. Just my thoughts and yeah I am bias because I am from Canada. American coins are not always the best coins to buy even if you live in America.
gold maple I posted a video recently about another Maple I picked up. It’s a fantastic coin. It’s a distant second to Eagles and Buffalos here in terms of demand, though.
@@2is1gold I can understand that most Americans would buy Eagles and they would be most popular in the United States. However, have you checked the prices lately. You are better off buying Maples because they are 24 carat, they are also cheaper in the United States right now than Eagles. They do not get scratched as easily as much as before.
The other key I guess you can add is the premium of gold coins. That means the difference of spot price and buy price. Typically, maple is the lowest in these three, while buffalo is the highest in price. In that case I also recommend krugerrand as it is cheaper.
I always look at the ability to use in an Emergency when I travel out of the States. I have Gold Clasps and wear American Eagles or Kugerands as Necklace's while Traveling. If I need Cash they really are recognized anywhere in the World. Since I can't Travel to buy Gold out of the U.S. I admire them on tbe Nightstand.
I would also like to recommend two types of gold coins that ate not mentioned in the video. One is the British sovereign which is about 7.96 grams. It's an easy way to buy gold. It's also historical. It's got different monarchs on the back of the coins. The second coin I would like to recommend is the 50 pesos 1947 coin from Mexico. It's a 1.27 Oz gold coin. One of the most beautiful gold coins and it is a large gold coin. You don't believe me check it out on UA-cam.
I love sovereigns! I only have 1, but it’s my only proof coin. I just love the design and I was willing to pay a little extra for the proof version. My dealer gave me a good price since he knew I’d been saving up for it for a while
@@Crocodile2873 : I think "Sovs" are the perfect size and price for most people and they're known all over the world so you will never have any problems selling them. I have 18 of them so far and will be buying more when / if the spot price drops.
I was buying krugerrands back in 1972-75 while in the military for $38-$42 dollars each. Back then it was illegal for americans to buy and own them because of the South African policy of racial apartheid. Well I bought 5 of them every month for 4yrs. 48 months × 5 monthly= 240 coins. They cost me roughly
I decided in an envious way I absolutely hate you now but I so want to be you😂😂. You held those coins through good times and bad but you never were at a loss. It just shows you what inflation has done to the purchasing power of the dollar. What tremendous foresight you had. I'm hoping that 20 years from I will be making the comments you made and someone will be say that they think $20,000 a coin is too high🤣🤣🤣

why would one buy 22k when 24k melted down is pure gold? ...and what's the gold difference between 24k buffalo and 24k maple..both are same just a different stamping machine???
I really appreciate your sound investing advice. You really help me understand all the noise around the Gold community. There are talks its going to the moon, then there are talks its going down again. I am glad there are people like you who tell me all the facts and can also advocate for both sides of view. It is refreshing. I am calling 100K subscribers soon... calling less than 12 months.
Perhaps 2 is 1 has not examined his 1/4 ozt American Gold Eagles. They are denominated as $10, one fifth the face value of the one ounce Gold Eagle, yet they have one quarter the gold content of the gold content of the one ounce Gold Eagle. Most people don't spot this inconsistency, or perhaps they don't care, as they are just buying bullion and don't care about the face value or denomination. Personally I do care, so I buy 1/10 ozt, 1/2 ozt and one ounce Gold Eagles, which carry denominations consistent with each other, regarding their bullion content.
Depends country to country, but Krugerrands have been around a lot longer than AGEs for sure. If I was selling outside the U.S., I'd want more Krugs and Maples.
I've always wanted a gold coin and I'm finally in a place to buy one. I've searched and the only gold coin that meets my expectations of what will likely be my only gold coin for life is the 2017 Gold Swan. Elegant, minimal, broadly appealing, and has a timeless beauty. And Elizabeth's profile, not Charles's. Everything a gold coin should be. Seriously, does anyone really WANT a pig or ugly face on their gold coin? Sorry to be crass, but that's how I feel, and wanted to get it off my chest.
Spot On. I’m actually weird and am quite a fan of the Eagle’s color but I think just having 1 in the 1 oz variety is the ticket and going for the Buffs whenever possible is the better long term option. 24K is the way of the future with Asia’s population and preference for purity. I also say that as we cannot currently stack a Fractional Buffalo (I’m not talking the broken set way overpriced ones on eBay) and so I’m relegated to stacking Eagles In all the fractional weights I want to build weight in as well so it’s also a variety play. Great vid sir
Florida Stacker my personal brand of weird is a compulsion to have an even split between Eagles and Buffalos. I’m even at the moment, so a Buffalo is the next one up for me. If 1/4oz Buffalos were still a thing, that might be all I’d stack from here on out!
I've been dollar cost averaging for a couple of years and everytime I bought a coin I always felt nervous because it was always more expensive than the previous purchase. It kind of made no sense and was a huge shift in how I viewed saving but I'm up 30% on average and a lot more on my first purchase. I am trying to get to 100 ounces and will keep adding as long as I can pull the cash together. I believe in a year or so the price will have moved beyond my purchasing capacity but hopefully I will have enough coins to weather the expected increased market uncertainties. Don't be put off by the current price as its only going higher over the medium to long term. Worse case for me it pulls back maybe $100 in the short term, I'm still making money and its just a better buying opportunity. Stacking 1 or 2 coins won't do, if you move into gold you need to be committed to a long term strategy and just stick with for good or bad. On average for me it's been all good.
what about british sovereign gold coins ? i am from Greece and for some reason a lot of people like them. also i think its the only gold coin i can buy from banks here.
Perfect! Thank you. I appreciate the straight-forwardness of where to put the money to make it work. I am doing what your video is showing, which are the non-numismatic bullions. I just want to build wealth. And I think both gold and silver eagles (since I'm in the US) is going to be the best. You pay for the premium for the eagle, but you get it back when having to sell them. It takes much less effort and you get closer to spot than generics or the others. That's my game. Save, save, save, and then let my children inherit and hopefully continue the saving ritual.
You have a couple of other options as well. For example is the Austrian Philharmoniker a really good bullion coin, and it is also nice to look at. Another good bullion coin is the Krugerand from South Africa. Each coin contains one troy ounce of gold, but it is a few grams heavier, and that extra weight is copper mixed with the gold.
The British sovereigns are world renowned. There is not a more popular or trusted gold coin on the planet!! They are bought,sold and traded everywhere. There is not a gold merchant outside the US that will not buy.
As an Australian where we think our gold is the finest in the World, before I even watch your vid, All Americans & Canadians say American Gold Eagle # 1 who say its the most recognized & best design coin. Personally I think the Eagles are over rated & its NOT pure Gold. #2 American Buffalo, they say because its pure gold 24 caret (that is true) And because of the design, ( eye roll) # 3 the maple leaf....Americans & particularly Canadians of coarse say the maple leaf. Personally I definitely think the quality is there, but boooooorrrrrrrrrrrringgggggg, a LEAF with that LIZARDS HEAD QUEENY on the back AAGAIN....WHY Does that WENCH have to be on every single coin that these Royal mints produce. Unfortunately we have her on our Nations coins as well, Royals donts deserve to be on any coins, shes been here Once in 45 years, she doesnt give about humanity full stop, Britian never discovered all these Nations, History is lies. They re-discovered, took what never belonged to them, they found fully developed nations, moved in, took over & claimed it as theirs. Murdered anyone left over from catastrophe, then systematically destroyed 75% of amazing Architecture that cannot be replicated today, as it gave away their lies as the Original " Found-ers", yes they found their new World, not build it like they claim. They had massive World book library burning, smashed statues & over decades to change History's Truth Forever. But they got sloppy & people have started waking up. The Sweet Old Queen has nothing to be proud of. All families listed on the Windsor family tree are connected to the Guelph, one of the Original Black Nobility families of Venice, which is now the House of Windsor which the Queen of England Lizzy 2 directly decends. The Guelps are so intertwined with German aristocracy through the House of Hanover. & thus from House of Guelph ( the Black Nobility ) that is another story of connections that would shock. If anyone reading this already thinks Im a nut, then they definitely think if I went into went into that House family tree. Today the Guelps ( the Windsors) rule by dominating the raw material markets, for years they have fixed the price of Gold. Im not sure about Silver. Sometimes when they talk about Gold it tends to go hand in hand with Silver, but its not mentioned specifically as The House of Windsor ( Guelph) also controls the prices of Copper, Zinc, lead and Tin. It is no accident that the principle commodity exchanges are located in London, England. Companies run by the Black Nobility Families are British Petroleum, Oppenheimer, Lonrho, Philbro & many many more. Another Black Nobility Family are the Grosvenor in England. For centuries this family live like most European families on ground rent. Today the family owns 300 arces in central london. The land is Never sold its leased on 39 year leasehold agreements. The ground rent of the middle ages. Grosvenor Square, is where the American Embassy is. Grosvenor Family also own Eaton Square, Apartments Cost In this small section alone are $50,000 - $80,000 Pounds a month, not incl maintenance cost. This Gives you idea of the immense Wealth of the Black Nobility families garner from ground rents alone, and why the fake Windsors are not at all interested in industrial progress along with the excess population that it supports. This is why these " Noble " families are behind ALL the wrong-headed pro environmental movements of the world that ultimately & covertly aim to curb population growth. GREEDY FILTHY A HOLES. PRINCES UGLY CHARLES HAS SPOKEN WITH UTMOST CALLOUSNESS ABOUT THE NEED TO RID THE WORLD OF UNWANTED PEOPLE AND SO HAS PRINCE WILLIAM , WHO ARGUES FOR URGENT CULLING IN AFRICA.

The Perth Mint has some of the best looking coins available - the mythical Dragons and the Swans are at the top of my list for aesthetics. The Eagle is near the bottom of my list for aesthetics. But I make my bias very clear. This choice is for people in the United States. I try to mention in all my videos that the best choice depends on your location. I would buy Perth and Australian coins way before Eagles if I lived in Australia. The Buffalos are cool, though - they might surprise you. I have recently updated this video, but, honestly, I didn't have a 1oz Perth Mint coin to show at the time. I only have fractional Lunars. My new video is still biased toward US and it's hopefully very clear about that. I mention that in Australia, it would be the Kangaroo, in UK it would be the Britannia, etc. I am looking at the 2020 Swan to give a little more of a fair comparison here. But the current spot price of gold makes each purchase a pretty careful consideration for me. I get your points. Thanks for the comment!
I bought a Buffalo and keep it on my nightstand. I have been Collecting then selling for years. While I hold Silver Eagles I bought four 100 ounce Silver Bars and a Mega Green Box of 500 2018's. I had sold my hoard felt cheated so I had to reward myself. I am a true Gold Lover. I have 100 Ounces of the 2015 Ultra and primarily the American Eagles. And my 2.5 Mexican Peso. Don't forget Centarous I have three of them, such a Beautiful Mexican large 37.5 heavy Coin. 37.5 grams oh my God? Buy one!!!!!! Buy those Mexican Coins for $98 bucks each, save those Mexican 2.5 peso, you won't regret those restamps! I sell those small Mexican Pesos on the street for a profit.
I'm an American and I don't like either American coins. The American Eagle is a collector item and does not need copper added to it because it isn't going anywhere. I don't like the Indian gold piece because it looks like a big glorified nickel. Now the gold maple leaf.....that's beautiful because it looks like royalty. And it is pure gold.
The AGE and the American Gold Buffalo both had to grow on me. The reason they're the *best* coins to buy is a lot less about their looks and more about their popularity. I agree with you on the Maples. They look fantastic, and I wish the US Mint would take note. Cheers!
IMHO, a Britannia, Maple Leaf, Eagle, Philharmonic, or Kruggerand with the LEAST premium. At the end of the day you are buying an ounce of Gold, not a rare coin. Now a coin is worth a small premium over a bar for liquidity reasons. BUT, do not pay insane premiums over spot for any coin.
Everything you mentioned is common and well-known. When I recorded the video, you could find Eagles for about $10-$20 more than the others you mentioned, and you could get $20 or more back in a sale, so Eagles covered the spread. They also have the widest buyer population, so they're the way to go if you don't know what to grab. None of the coins you mentioned are bad choices in my mind, though. Thanks!
Yeah, hopefully you needed to sell it to cover an emergency. Rule #1, you hoard gold, you never sell unless you can really get something of real value for it.
@@lamarravery4094 I was 20years old at the time. Didn't really have a investing mentality at the time. I sold the coin and bought me some video games at best buy. Lol
Gorgeous coins/stack and great Video! I think it’s worth mentioning that the 1 oz gold philharmonic isn’t a bad option either. It’s pretty well known internationally, 24k, and has the lowest premium I can find for a well known minted 1 oz gold coin. Very affordable with all the great perks. Looking forward to your next uploads!
The most popular gold coin in the world is a AGE? Lul ....for sure not :) The Kruger it is ... ask every dealer in the entire world .....all will tell you that the Kruger is No1 ...maybe in US the AGE :)
xx xx the whole point of the video is to recommend the best coin _in the United States_. I don’t recommend the AGE if you wont be selling or trading here. Regardless, the American Gold Eagle is the world's most popular gold bullion coin based on how many have been sold. Glad to have other opinions in here. Let us know where you’re from - it gives more credibility to your (Krugerrand) recommendation. Thanks!

@@2is1gold The Krugerrand is the world's most popular gold investment coin. There are more in circulation internationally than all the other gold coins combined. To date, Krugerrand coins containing 48 million ounces of gold have been sold
@@robertoh.20 I've found that same quote in articles from 2017. My understanding is that AGEs passed them up the following year. It's possible my info is wrong. Regardless of lifetime/cumulative sales, they (AGEs) are currently the most heavily minted coins in the world (annually) and they are considerably more common than Krugs here in the U.S. (They aren't even comparable.) I tried to be clear in the video that the AGE or Buffalo recommendations were for U.S. residents. I'd buy coins from the Royal Mint if I was in the U.K, from Perth Mint in Australia, etc. The part I screwed up was saying I don't like Krugs. That part is true, but I didn't realize how many people outside the U.S. would watch the video. I list them as my fifth choice, but I had a dumb blurt about "hating them".

So, your recommendation seems short eyed to an in depth consideration and it would be by far better, less risky in the long term to recommend a mix of Kangaroos, Wiener Philharmonics, Britannias, Eagles, Buffalos, Maples, Pandas, Libertad and Krugers… All continents, max. global fungibility, partially increasing value on top of spot, etc. pp…
If you're interested in hearing more about _why_ I think it's important to buy domestic coins rather than those from foreign mints (as much as I love them), I posted an earlier video here: ua-cam.com/video/_G-j_hzuX-c/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching!
The 1oz American eagle is still a full 1oz of gold. It's all there full gold coin with added copper and silver. It's a great coin for gold stacking
Absolutely. It's similar to the Krugerrand that's been around for 50+ years. Definitely a great coin. Thanks for the comment!
Nice video! Important to note that the gold eagle has not that much demand and liquidity here in Europe. Britannia, Austrian Philharmonics and e Canadian Maples are more liquid here
P37RU5 yes, good point. I try to make that clear in my videos, but might not have made it here. Thanks!
I agree in Germany the Krügerrand is the gold coin that is bought and sold the most. After that the Austrian Philharmonics and Maples.
I agree with your assessment if based in America or Canada. It's a bullion contest and not a beauty contest so I think you were a bit harsh on the krugerand. It was the coin that started the 1 ounce bench mark back in 1967 with over 40 million sold worldwide and traditionally commands the lowest premium and highest liquidity internationally. In the beauty contest the buffalo wins hands down everytime. I'm in Europe and in addition to ugly krugerands I like the gold Philharmonics as well, but that's a European flipside to the Eagle.
gerry2828 kelly all good points, and you’re right. I was too flip on Krugerrand in this video.
So there are about 40 million Krugerrands in circulation, @gerry2828 kelly? How many Maple Leafs and Gold Eagles are in circulation? Just to get a reference.
@@maxsiem77 that's a good question i went and Googled it just now. Its over 50 million Krugerand minted, 26 million maple leaf. Not sure on American Gold Eagle since 1986 but some years over a million and others just under 200,000. Its still a huge number for all 3 coins. I was surprised at so many maple leafs been minted.
maples for purity!!!! buffalo for design... love the indian head....
MrBennymarco maples and buffalos are the same purity
@@jaydee5447 thats true... but the canadian mint does have 99999 pure coins!
*cough* Native American *cough*
Abdelmelik Farooq Alwahid Corona Virus !
Maple
You should mention that you can touch and play with the coin and scratch the hell out of it. You will still get 100% spot price. You don't have to worry about anything. it's just a store of wealth.
You just lose the premium.
That maple shines the most and looks the best MAPLES ALL THE WAY
@@scotttild lol!
Buying my 1st gold purchase ever! Thank you!
Buying the American Buffalo 1 oz coin.
M P what a great coin! Congrats!
@ykshootraw x limited availability is definitely driving premium up. I've had to buy online, and that always increases cost.
The Australian Gold Kangaroo. New design every year which functions as a security feature, Perth Mint gold finish is beautiful, 9999 gold. You can't go wrong with any as it's gold but my preference is always Perth Mint. For fractional, I think the gold British Sovereign is an amazing coin. The coin has a great history and the imagery of the coin transcends time.
I love Perth stuff. Have a 1 oz bar. Can't stack any of their coins though...queen's mug ruins em all 🤮
@Anthony Tsatsis You are. I'm an American but the Perth Mint is easily my favorite mint. I love the kookaburras, koalas,gold kangaroos, and their gold bars. Great products and quality.
Rusty Shackleford yup!
Because it's mixed with other metals the American gold eagle I would not purchase, The gold American Buffalo is far more attractive especially in its purity not mix with other metals. Queen Elizabeth pisses me off
I’m sure she’s bothered.
Got more gold than you will ever have.
Fractional low premium govt coin.....british sovereigns. Check out SD bullion. 5% over spot for the 1/4 and 1/2 oz. Well.....they're just a shade under those sizes. Best price anywhere on a fractional coin.
Im planning to get my first gold coin soon im gonna get a 1/10 oz maple leaf from apmex should be good just alot cheaper to me gold is gold
I have a copy golden double 1933 eagle want to i know if it has any value and if so what is it worth
just a word, in australia if you buy 92% gold you pay GST goods and services tax of 10%, you do not pay 10% GST on 99% gold... same with platinum and silver...
The buffalo and maple are both 24k but you didn't mention that the buffalos will be just as easy to scratch as the maples
Dub City Stacker the texture of the Buffalo is very different. The flat field or a field with perfect radial lines like the Maples have will show a scratch way more easily than than the molded field of the Buffalo. I’ve never noticed micro scratches on a Buffalo. I rarely do not notice them in Maples.
You make a good point, well said.
GOLD IS GOLD is GOLD...any 1oz coin is fine. probably with lowest premium. That way you can ding the hell out of it and still get spot for it when you sell it.
Mileage may vary. That wasn't my experience.
@@2is1gold You actually had a dealer not willing to pay you spot because of a blemish. That is unheard of. I would never do business with them again. It's GOLD, the value is in the metal, not the form. You are better off selling on facebook marketplace then in the future.
No form 1099B to IRS when selling Gold Eagles, no matter the quantity. Which is why I only stack Gold Eagles.
👍
Actually no coin sales requires a 1099B, drreality.news/product/income-tax-shattering-the-myths/
Maple Leaf hands down!
Just like i told people NVDA was going through roof while idiots from WS said stay Away! Trust your gut and forget the silver spoon fed brats!
Gold Buffalos & American Eagle are exempt from filling IRS tax form when it comes to selling.
@@scotttild unless it was lost in an unfortunate boating accident 🤣
@@scotttild not quite. You don’t have to file any tax forms when buying or selling eagles or buffalos. But you still have to claim it as capital gains. Filing tax forms and claiming capital gains are two different things.
@@SergiuM42 Am I missing something or is there simply no way anyone can tell how much I bought it for, then sold it for, if I walk in with a piece of metal in my hand??????
I have some silver but plan on some Gold. That Buffalo looks pretty.
I have a 1oz. Buffalo and I love it. I also have the 1/10, 1/4, 1/2oz. Eagles and they are good too. I have to say there is something about the 24k .9999 buffalo that I like better. The color is amazing, the design is amazing and it’s more pure. I feel like you can’t go wrong with a Buffalo. As a matter of fact that is the next video I’m putting out. It’s my 11th order in stacking. A 1oz. Gold buffalo. Hope you get a chance to check it out.
This is my favourite of all your videos. I learned a lot from this and factored everything you said into my early stacking. Thanks!
Charon thanks for the comment - I appreciate it! Good luck with your stacking!
The maple is the best one by far
Can't beat 4 9's
My opinion would be the cattle... The gold buffalo in other words... doesn't hurt to have a herd of them!
Jãy Brøwñ a herd of Buffalo is a great plan!
I have a heard too!
Krügerrand is the most popular goldcoin.
Yiddisch Connection most popular where?
@@2is1gold worldwide
It was. Canadian maple leaf is now probably accepted worldwide, the world likes Canada over the USA.
Love the positivity and laughter in your voice. Your voice makes me want to give free hugs 🤗 happy stacking
Hey, thanks!
I wouldn’t knock any of them back but I do like the Buffalo.👍
Love the 1/2 ounce as it has a higher premium but is produced in much lower Mintage. Hence, higher resale price.
Hi bud amazing gold
Womble stacker uk
Subbed
So want get into gold, good luck with your channel and stacking so many great stackers in USA
I just don't buy the idea of Gold Eagles. You pay so much to the U.S. Mint for the privilege of marginally more liquidity. But to get liquidity from gold, you need a buyer who understands gold, and most buyers who understand Gold Eagles will understand almost any other form of bullion grade coin, too.
I'm trying to buy a tangible asset, not a seal of approval from the government.
I've found that there are a fair amount of people (here in the U.S.) who recognize the American Gold Eagle (and American Silver Eagle) but have no clue whatsoever about any other coin. I get your point, though. Cheers!
@@2is1gold So in the US there are lots of people that do know the American Gold Eagle, but not the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Krugerrand or even the American Buffalo? In that case I would certainly go for the American Gold Eagle if I were living in America.
@@maxsiem77 right. People who buy regularly will absolutely know CMLs and Krugs (and Philharmonics, Britannias, Kangaroos, etc.) but that's such a small part of the population.
In my experience, scratches and dents do not affect affect my ability to resale buffalos or eagles. I have always been able to sell eagles back to coin shops for $10 over spot and usually get at least spot price for buffalos. As long as the weights reflect 1 oz scrap gold, the will give me the same quote regardless of condition because the are only concerned with the scrap gold value and not numismatic value.
jaden zheng I see and have been told more or less the same with Eagles and Buffalos as long as they’re in decent condition. (Maples are different in my experience.) Thanks for the info!
Yeah, scratches don't matter on any of the buillion coins. They give you melt or spot price when you sell them, regardless of appearance.
Where is the Krugerrand ?
I personally like the the Australian one with the jump animal.
I should have shown my Krugerrand. If I was selling outside the U.S., I'd consider them higher on my list.
It’s called kangaroo
Juraj Benak well I’m calling it a “jump animal” from here on out! 😁
Juraj Benak lol, I really couldnt remember the name when i was writing this comment 😂
What about Taiwanese gold coins? Do you know anything about that part of the world? Thank very much!
Not much. I know Perth Mint products are big there in addition to the Central Mint commemoratives. I imagine that’s why we see so much East Asian influence in Perth’s products (Lunars and Pearls of Wisdom, for instance).
Which one is better... The Eagle or the Buffalo coin? Please help!
American Gold Eagles are more popular in the US, but they're both great. If you want a 24k coin, go with the Buffalo. If it doesn't matter to you, go with the Eagle. Good luck!
Why would the Maple Leafs be harder to sell when I heard that it's internationally accepted and sellable?
Lucky Winner I’ve never had trouble selling a Maple. Local coin shops in the United States just don’t pay as much for them.
He said if they are damaged some people freak out if their pretty Coin gets scratched. Not me Gold is gold as long as they are minor abrasions I will buy them. As long as the weight is not affected. This guy did a nice presentation for New Gold savers. What I have learned over the years is my Wife likes Gold. So if I buy her Earrings I will throw in a Half Ounce Eagle. She says nothing. And remember many woman can't or won't save. I have always treated my gold as my Savings Account. I always have money to fall back on if I need the plumber, need a car repair. I can sell gold anytime and always more than what I purchased it at as of this writing. Everyone's situation is different but Gold & Silver is my Place Marker in Life.
@@bustbeel1 Dealers make money on premium. so they will just reduce your premium over spot when they buy a 'damaged' coin from you. BUT the lowest premium coin you can find (which should be less than 4%) and just eat the cost and expect spot when you sell it back.
Don’t EVER sell coins on eBay!!!!!!! I did it once for a large amount gold coin and the guy placed a charge back with his credit card!!!! Lost everything
G G EBay sucks for sellers high commission tp pay them, including Pay Pal
Yeah, its hard somtimes, I do sell on eBay however I have a separate bank account linked to paypal at a separate bank from my main account when it's funded I withdraw cash from the bank thats linked to pp account for a week, I then send the coin out ....you have to be careful
Sorry to hear that. I've been hesitant to use eBay for a while now.
The Maple in my opinion is the most beautiful of the lot. Its brilliance is without equal.
David cawrowl yeah, Maples are fantastic-looking coins. They’re in my top three for sure.
@@2is1gold ugly queen lol
it makes no logical sense to buy a full one ounce of gold, i know people will argue over that the same way the enjoy arguing over basketball or ice hockey.
modern silver is purely junk silver it react overtime and just turn black and ugly so just buy gold, if you are only interested in useful weight coins then buy 1/4 oz gold and that should be your local gold like the AGE. i do not think anyone should consider the buffulo as a pure bullion coin, its a semi-collectors coin and if you plan on sleeping or fondling your gold then avoid the buffalo, the ONLY ; and their is only ONE reason to buy an American buffulo coin and no other reason ; is pure BRAGGING rights !!!
the absolute (bar no other) bestest coin to buy is the 1/4 oz maple. No person on planet earth who is new into coins can go wrong with this coin ! ! ! and no i am not canadian LoL, lets say you buy a 1 ounce coin and gold goes to 4,000 US$ who is going to buy it? ONLY a dealer who will give you under spot price value, remember gold never gets more expensive the gold price only has two functions = 1) how much you must pay to obtain it and the 2) MAIN reason for the gold spot price? ; the main reason is to show you how krappy your own governmental fiat currency is as a measure of wealth or value.
gold is the only thing that politicans , emperoers, tyrants and dictators have ever had in common , so its time for you to join Stalin who carried a notebook in his pocket every day that recorded gold production, even at the hight of the German invasion stalin kept his gold notebook up to date but recorded things like battle tank production on loose slips of paper in his pockets.
So be like stalin and see gold as the long play !!!

@@2is1gold its real simple, if your happy to kill like 35 million in purges your like Stalin, if you just want to die and ascend to the stars your like king tut... but no one can ignore these both were focused on a long play out for $$$ return overtime, its all aimed at a long play out... weather you get statutes or pyramids its all about your own level of comfort towards risk exposure ...
And you are correct about the Krugerrands. They're the first.....and they're well-respected......but I just don't like the copper color to them. Sure, the Eagle has some, but it's lightened by the silver content. Krugerrands are 100% copper for the alloy content. TOO coppery.
I think so too.
Why buy it go and dig your own
Krugerrands are the first-ever gold bullion coin and therefore all these other gold bullion coins might not even exist today. Krugerrands are incredibly popular in the global market and have the same 22 karats as the American Eagle coin. This UA-camr has an incredibly strong subjective bias towards American coins and shows no respect for Krugerrands which pioneered the gold bullion coin.
exactly, Krugerrands are the most popular coins for investment in the world. He think it's the american eagle ! hahahahaha, in america , sure, but not worldwide
I like my gold 999 fine.

Great video. I think the Kruggarrand and maple are the most popular coins on the planet. But 100% agree, if in United States buy eagles and buffalos.
You’re right in terms of lifetime sales. I wish I could go in and make a few edits to this video. Cheers!
You always get that Thumbs-up brother. I am trying to decide on what to buy today. A tube of silver buffalos or a quarter ounce eagle...

Few less ahhh’s and it might even be nice listening to you…
Hey, Henk. This was the very first video I uploaded, two and a half years ago. It doesn't come naturally to me, but my more recent videos will at least show improvement there. Cheers!
I would select the coins based on the premium and price spread. This may differ across the globe.
As USA yes, maybe , but USA not all world and as we want to buy as cheap as possible and also we buy for investment and stacking and not to speculate or resell, also try get at closer at spot price and dont pay to much over- australian nuggets are the best. Hard to find coin with 999.999 purity closer to spot price than perth kangaroos. 2nd austrian philharmonic.And also they both are well know world wide.
If you live in Mexico 🇲🇽, the Centenario is the only one to stack
The Gold Maple Leaf is the best coin of the three. It's got the lowest premium and it's the cheapest of the three coins on average - you don't believe me check JM Bullion, Provident Metals. It's .9999 pure or 24 carat has mentioned in the video. It also its got a security feature, so it cannot be counterfeited as easily as an Eagle and a Buffalo. Just my thoughts and yeah I am bias because I am from Canada. American coins are not always the best coins to buy even if you live in America.
gold maple I posted a video recently about another Maple I picked up. It’s a fantastic coin. It’s a distant second to Eagles and Buffalos here in terms of demand, though.
@@2is1gold I can understand that most Americans would buy Eagles and they would be most popular in the United States. However, have you checked the prices lately. You are better off buying Maples because they are 24 carat, they are also cheaper in the United States right now than Eagles. They do not get scratched as easily as much as before.
@@goldmaple4360 I have, and I agree that Maples are much better priced. I'm not done buying Maples. I just try to hold U.S. Mint coins as my primary.
Krugerrand is the best. It's the most liquid, has the lowest premiums, is 22 karat, and has no face value.
Good pick for sure. Better in certain regions. Cheers!
Jason Wilson: Yes, K-Rands are good but having no face value could mean that they are subject to tax (usually capital gains) in some countries.
I love mexican centarrios
The other key I guess you can add is the premium of gold coins. That means the difference of spot price and buy price. Typically, maple is the lowest in these three, while buffalo is the highest in price. In that case I also recommend krugerrand as it is cheaper.
Krugerand is that South African
Cvetko Popov correct
I always look at the ability to use in an Emergency when I travel out of the States. I have Gold Clasps and wear American Eagles or Kugerands as Necklace's while Traveling. If I need Cash they really are recognized anywhere in the World. Since I can't Travel to buy Gold out of the U.S. I admire them on tbe Nightstand.
The gold Britannia coin for me.
I would also like to recommend two types of gold coins that ate not mentioned in the video. One is the British sovereign which is about 7.96 grams. It's an easy way to buy gold. It's also historical. It's got different monarchs on the back of the coins. The second coin I would like to recommend is the 50 pesos 1947 coin from Mexico. It's a 1.27 Oz gold coin. One of the most beautiful gold coins and it is a large gold coin. You don't believe me check it out on UA-cam.
I love sovereigns! I only have 1, but it’s my only proof coin. I just love the design and I was willing to pay a little extra for the proof version. My dealer gave me a good price since he knew I’d been saving up for it for a while
@@Crocodile2873 : I think "Sovs" are the perfect size and price for most people and they're known all over the world so you will never have any problems selling them. I have 18 of them so far and will be buying more when / if the spot price drops.
How come dayum premium don't match the spot at time before like 1/10 gold coins should be 200-210 buy
I was buying krugerrands back in 1972-75 while in the military for $38-$42 dollars each. Back then it was illegal for americans to buy and own them because of the South African policy of racial apartheid. Well I bought 5 of them every month for 4yrs. 48 months × 5 monthly= 240 coins. They cost me roughly

I am glad there are people like you who tell me all the facts and can also advocate for both sides of view.
It is refreshing. I am calling 100K subscribers soon... calling less than 12 months.
Thank you! I really appreciate the comment!
Perhaps 2 is 1 has not examined his 1/4 ozt American Gold Eagles. They are denominated as $10, one fifth the face value of the one ounce Gold Eagle, yet they have one quarter the gold content of the gold content of the one ounce Gold Eagle. Most people don't spot this inconsistency, or perhaps they don't care, as they are just buying bullion and don't care about the face value or denomination.
Personally I do care, so I buy 1/10 ozt, 1/2 ozt and one ounce Gold Eagles, which carry denominations consistent with each other, regarding their bullion content.
south african coins are better recognized internationally.
Depends country to country, but Krugerrands have been around a lot longer than AGEs for sure. If I was selling outside the U.S., I'd want more Krugs and Maples.
I've always wanted a gold coin and I'm finally in a place to buy one. I've searched and the only gold coin that meets my expectations of what will likely be my only gold coin for life is the 2017 Gold Swan. Elegant, minimal, broadly appealing, and has a timeless beauty. And Elizabeth's profile, not Charles's. Everything a gold coin should be. Seriously, does anyone really WANT a pig or ugly face on their gold coin? Sorry to be crass, but that's how I feel, and wanted to get it off my chest.

This is the very first video I uploaded to UA-cam. I had a lot to figure out!
Thank you for your channel 👍
What about if I am living in EU ?
What coin or coins do you recommend ?
Spot On. I’m actually weird and am quite a fan of the Eagle’s color but I think just having 1 in the 1 oz variety is the ticket and going for the Buffs whenever possible is the better long term option. 24K is the way of the future with Asia’s population and preference for purity. I also say that as we cannot currently stack a Fractional Buffalo (I’m not talking the broken set way overpriced ones on eBay) and so I’m relegated to stacking Eagles In all the fractional weights I want to build weight in as well so it’s also a variety play. Great vid sir
Florida Stacker my personal brand of weird is a compulsion to have an even split between Eagles and Buffalos. I’m even at the moment, so a Buffalo is the next one up for me. If 1/4oz Buffalos were still a thing, that might be all I’d stack from here on out!
Can’t buy with the current mark ups.
I just bought a couple of silver coins and the gold ones are a joke
I've been dollar cost averaging for a couple of years and everytime I bought a coin I always felt nervous because it was always more expensive than the previous purchase. It kind of made no sense and was a huge shift in how I viewed saving but I'm up 30% on average and a lot more on my first purchase. I am trying to get to 100 ounces and will keep adding as long as I can pull the cash together. I believe in a year or so the price will have moved beyond my purchasing capacity but hopefully I will have enough coins to weather the expected increased market uncertainties. Don't be put off by the current price as its only going higher over the medium to long term. Worse case for me it pulls back maybe $100 in the short term, I'm still making money and its just a better buying opportunity. Stacking 1 or 2 coins won't do, if you move into gold you need to be committed to a long term strategy and just stick with for good or bad. On average for me it's been all good.
100 ounces is a nice goal. I will try for the same.
50 pesos Mexican centenario gold coin for me Is the best. Then right under Is the 1 oz Maple leaf. 👍👍😎😎
what about british sovereign gold coins ?
i am from Greece and for some reason a lot of people like them.
also i think its the only gold coin i can buy from banks here.
Im curious,why they don't make Eagle's 24k gold .Why dilute the coin with other metals.?
Simple ... the cheapest ... no need to talk any further
Perfect! Thank you. I appreciate the straight-forwardness of where to put the money to make it work. I am doing what your video is showing, which are the non-numismatic bullions. I just want to build wealth. And I think both gold and silver eagles (since I'm in the US) is going to be the best. You pay for the premium for the eagle, but you get it back when having to sell them. It takes much less effort and you get closer to spot than generics or the others. That's my game. Save, save, save, and then let my children inherit and hopefully continue the saving ritual.
I live in Europe, so it is Sovereign's which are good anywhere on the planet and Britannia's.
Think also about philharminicas is well
But.... but I love the maple leaf
🔥UPDATED VERSION for 2021. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/zqh-A2Hh4wQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video. For me I love the Buffalo! My personal favourite. 👍
Gateway 17 same!
You have a couple of other options as well. For example is the Austrian Philharmoniker a really good bullion coin, and it is also nice to look at. Another good bullion coin is the Krugerand from South Africa. Each coin contains one troy ounce of gold, but it is a few grams heavier, and that extra weight is copper mixed with the gold.
The British sovereigns are world renowned. There is not a more popular or trusted gold coin on the planet!! They are bought,sold and traded everywhere. There is not a gold merchant outside the US that will not buy.
As an Australian where we think our gold is the finest in the World, before I even watch your vid, All Americans & Canadians say American Gold Eagle # 1 who say its the most recognized & best design coin. Personally I think the Eagles are over rated & its NOT pure Gold. #2 American Buffalo, they say because its pure gold 24 caret (that is true) And because of the design, ( eye roll) # 3 the maple leaf....Americans & particularly Canadians of coarse say the maple leaf. Personally I definitely think the quality is there, but boooooorrrrrrrrrrrringgggggg, a LEAF with that LIZARDS HEAD QUEENY on the back AAGAIN....WHY Does that WENCH have to be on every single coin that these Royal mints produce. Unfortunately we have her on our Nations coins as well, Royals donts deserve to be on any coins, shes been here Once in 45 years, she doesnt give about humanity full stop, Britian never discovered all these Nations, History is lies. They re-discovered, took what never belonged to them, they found fully developed nations, moved in, took over & claimed it as theirs. Murdered anyone left over from catastrophe, then systematically destroyed 75% of amazing Architecture that cannot be replicated today, as it gave away their lies as the Original " Found-ers", yes they found their new World, not build it like they claim. They had massive World book library burning, smashed statues & over decades to change History's Truth Forever. But they got sloppy & people have started waking up. The Sweet Old Queen has nothing to be proud of. All families listed on the Windsor family tree are connected to the Guelph, one of the Original Black Nobility families of Venice, which is now the House of Windsor which the Queen of England Lizzy 2 directly decends. The Guelps are so intertwined with German aristocracy through the House of Hanover. & thus from House of Guelph ( the Black Nobility ) that is another story of connections that would shock. If anyone reading this already thinks Im a nut, then they definitely think if I went into went into that House family tree.
Today the Guelps ( the Windsors) rule by dominating the raw material markets, for years they have fixed the price of Gold. Im not sure about Silver. Sometimes when they talk about Gold it tends to go hand in hand with Silver, but its not mentioned specifically as The House of Windsor ( Guelph) also controls the prices of Copper, Zinc, lead and Tin. It is no accident that the principle commodity exchanges are located in London, England. Companies run by the Black Nobility Families are British Petroleum, Oppenheimer, Lonrho, Philbro & many many more.
Another Black Nobility Family are the Grosvenor in England. For centuries this family live like most European families on ground rent. Today the family owns 300 arces in central london. The land is Never sold its leased on 39 year leasehold agreements. The ground rent of the middle ages. Grosvenor Square, is where the American Embassy is. Grosvenor Family also own Eaton Square, Apartments Cost In this small section alone are $50,000 - $80,000 Pounds a month, not incl maintenance cost. This Gives you idea of the immense Wealth of the Black Nobility families garner from ground rents alone, and why the fake Windsors are not at all interested in industrial progress along with the excess population that it supports.
This is why these " Noble " families are behind ALL the wrong-headed pro environmental movements of the world that ultimately & covertly aim to curb population growth. GREEDY FILTHY A HOLES. PRINCES UGLY CHARLES HAS SPOKEN WITH UTMOST CALLOUSNESS ABOUT THE NEED TO RID THE WORLD OF UNWANTED PEOPLE AND SO HAS PRINCE WILLIAM , WHO ARGUES FOR URGENT CULLING IN AFRICA. The poor bastards burn dried animal shit to keep warm & cook. Starving kids, so weak to move let alone protect themselves, get eaten alive by buzzards Vulchers birds. These birds wait till the child is so weak, then go in for the kill.
Royals are filthy scum. And all those " noble " connected families that the Whore Queen pins medals on, congratulating themselves while having distain hatred towards humanity that they found, destroyed. There is enough for all, the World once had free energy for all, they know how to get energy from the atmosphere through magnetism, using water, & various crystallized minerals, its all clean, pure & abundant, enough for all. But these filthy parasites want it ALL for themselves. They invent rediculous nonsensical Viruses with roll out vaccinations as the cure. Yes a cure, A cure for them & their problem, getting rid of as many ppl as they can while the Worlds falls apart caused by their Greed & Sick Selfishness, they have no empathy only hatred even for young children thats why the Royals & Co are full of Pedovores. They all are the real virus, worst they are malignant Cancers & need to be cut out & burnt. SO......after that truthful rant.....
(shes a whore, a servant to the Jesuits Vatican Paple Bloodlines who kisses all Popes ring holes, the Superior General Jesuits Black Pope 1. The Grey Pope #2 & Our buddie White Pope. #3 who is also a member of the black eye club and so is the queen & prince Phillip. All Jesuit are Military wicked killers THEY RUN THIS WORLD WHILE Queenies Sons hang out with convicted pedophiles.
AND AUSSIES GOLD IS THE BEST ITS PURE AS PURE WITH GREAT DESIGNS...Not all designs but Perth & Melbourne & Sydney Gold is awesome..
Cheers....PS Dont be so bias with your Gold choices...
Cheers
The Perth Mint has some of the best looking coins available - the mythical Dragons and the Swans are at the top of my list for aesthetics. The Eagle is near the bottom of my list for aesthetics. But I make my bias very clear. This choice is for people in the United States. I try to mention in all my videos that the best choice depends on your location. I would buy Perth and Australian coins way before Eagles if I lived in Australia. The Buffalos are cool, though - they might surprise you.
I have recently updated this video, but, honestly, I didn't have a 1oz Perth Mint coin to show at the time. I only have fractional Lunars. My new video is still biased toward US and it's hopefully very clear about that. I mention that in Australia, it would be the Kangaroo, in UK it would be the Britannia, etc.
I am looking at the 2020 Swan to give a little more of a fair comparison here. But the current spot price of gold makes each purchase a pretty careful consideration for me.
I get your points. Thanks for the comment!
Definitely the American gold Buffalo
I bought a Buffalo and keep it on my nightstand. I have been Collecting then selling for years. While I hold Silver Eagles I bought four 100 ounce Silver Bars and a Mega Green Box of 500 2018's. I had sold my hoard felt cheated so I had to reward myself. I am a true Gold Lover. I have 100 Ounces of the 2015 Ultra and primarily the American Eagles. And my 2.5 Mexican Peso. Don't forget Centarous I have three of them, such a Beautiful Mexican large 37.5 heavy Coin. 37.5 grams oh my God? Buy one!!!!!! Buy those Mexican Coins for $98 bucks each, save those Mexican 2.5 peso, you won't regret those restamps! I sell those small Mexican Pesos on the street for a profit.
I'm an American and I don't like either American coins. The American Eagle is a collector item and does not need copper added to it because it isn't going anywhere. I don't like the Indian gold piece because it looks like a big glorified nickel. Now the gold maple leaf.....that's beautiful because it looks like royalty. And it is pure gold.
The AGE and the American Gold Buffalo both had to grow on me. The reason they're the *best* coins to buy is a lot less about their looks and more about their popularity. I agree with you on the Maples. They look fantastic, and I wish the US Mint would take note. Cheers!
IMHO, a Britannia, Maple Leaf, Eagle, Philharmonic, or Kruggerand with the LEAST premium. At the end of the day you are buying an ounce of Gold, not a rare coin. Now a coin is worth a small premium over a bar for liquidity reasons. BUT, do not pay insane premiums over spot for any coin.
Everything you mentioned is common and well-known. When I recorded the video, you could find Eagles for about $10-$20 more than the others you mentioned, and you could get $20 or more back in a sale, so Eagles covered the spread. They also have the widest buyer population, so they're the way to go if you don't know what to grab. None of the coins you mentioned are bad choices in my mind, though. Thanks!
I can’t believe this is even a question. Canadian gold is the finest you can buy. Everything else is dross.
I used to have a golden coin. Sold it off like 9years ago for $1000. Now I want it back lol
Yeah, hopefully you needed to sell it to cover an emergency. Rule #1, you hoard gold, you never sell unless you can really get something of real value for it.
@@lamarravery4094 I was 20years old at the time. Didn't really have a investing mentality at the time. I sold the coin and bought me some video games at best buy. Lol
The Austrian Philharmonic is a great option.
Agreed!
Of course you can sell it! But at how much of a loss! Lol!😎💩🇺🇸💩👎
Oh I gotta watch this one!
Would British 1oz coins good to stack?
Yes.
@@2is1gold I'm thinking of making my first investment so that you for your reply 🌟
Gorgeous coins/stack and great Video! I think it’s worth mentioning that the 1 oz gold philharmonic isn’t a bad option either. It’s pretty well known internationally, 24k, and has the lowest premium I can find for a well known minted 1 oz gold coin. Very affordable with all the great perks. Looking forward to your next uploads!
Dan Philharmonics are beautiful coins. I stick with North American coins, but you’re right about their reputation. Thanks for the comment!
Any is the best pick
And I think I'd buy something that was pure gold
What are beat stores or website to purchase gold
Ya bullshit, buy the Canadian maple leaf. lower premiums
The most popular gold coin in the world is a AGE? Lul ....for sure not :) The Kruger it is ... ask every dealer in the entire world .....all will tell you that the Kruger is No1 ...maybe in US the AGE :)
xx xx the whole point of the video is to recommend the best coin _in the United States_. I don’t recommend the AGE if you wont be selling or trading here. Regardless, the American Gold Eagle is the world's most popular gold bullion coin based on how many have been sold. Glad to have other opinions in here. Let us know where you’re from - it gives more credibility to your (Krugerrand) recommendation. Thanks!
@@2is1gold i am ok with that dude .... i just commented on what you said ... i got you
xx xx okay, got it, and I definitely appreciate perspective outside the area. You were one of two hitting on Krugerrands at the same time. I thought maybe I misstated something. Thanks!
@@2is1gold The Krugerrand is the world's most popular gold investment coin. There are more in circulation internationally than all the other gold coins combined. To date, Krugerrand coins containing 48 million ounces of gold have been sold
@@robertoh.20 I've found that same quote in articles from 2017. My understanding is that AGEs passed them up the following year. It's possible my info is wrong. Regardless of lifetime/cumulative sales, they (AGEs) are currently the most heavily minted coins in the world (annually) and they are considerably more common than Krugs here in the U.S. (They aren't even comparable.) I tried to be clear in the video that the AGE or Buffalo recommendations were for U.S. residents. I'd buy coins from the Royal Mint if I was in the U.K, from Perth Mint in Australia, etc. The part I screwed up was saying I don't like Krugs. That part is true, but I didn't realize how many people outside the U.S. would watch the video. I list them as my fifth choice, but I had a dumb blurt about "hating them". I'll have to clear it up in a future video. Thanks for the comment!
