- The 1 oz American Gold Buffalo gold coin seems to be the clear crowd favorite on UA-cam if not in actual consumer market. This video discusses the US Mint's 24K gold coin and its popularity in the U.S. market.
NOTE: I am not a financial planner. I'm just a guy on the internet, talking about precious metals. Always do your own research before buying gold or silver.

@ycart tosey I’m considering it. Agree that it’s a great looking coin!
I’ll buy it for $50 ahahaha
Love those
If the gold Buffalo was available in fractional I would buy them regularly as part of my $ cost averaging strategy. It’s such a beautiful gold coin.
I wonder if they even entertain the idea at the US Mint. It seems so obvious to offer them!
2 is 1 It’s a no brainer but they may have their reasons. Who knows? As a fractional, .9999 gold coin with excellent appeal it would meet my criteria perfectly! By the way do you still feel we will see $1790 or have we put in a bottom? Personally I think we will, not that it matters much to me. We know where gold is heading in the medium to long term. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to buy more 😊
Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos! 👍
@@Xylo58 I'll be very surprised if we don't see $1,790 again in the next 6 months. Thanks for the support!
Same here. I’m thinking of buying the buffalo this year, if I actually send it I will punch my face with happiness lol 😂
@@scotttild where do you recommend buying them from? A pawn shop or eBay ?
I usually stack gold 1oz Krugerrands - recognized worldwide, and have been circulating forever. However! I just picked up my first Buffalo today - and what a beautiful coin. I think it deserves a spot in everyone's collection/stack.
They definitely stand out! Cheers!
I love the Buffalos too! 9999 gold and this wonderful motif, on both sides, are just forever. Greetings from Bavaria / Germany. Very beautiful video.
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
Beautiful collection. Thank you for doing the videos!!
Thanks for the comment - I appreciate that!
1 oz., 2006 Reverse Proof American Gold Eagle with low relative Mintage, MS 70 State, then 2013 Reverse Proof Buffalo. Two great pieces. Fractional Gold Buffalos from 2008 are very special pieces in both Proof and Unc. Thanks for this awesome video!
I’d love to have some fractional Buffalos! I need one for an April Fools video for sure! 😁
I just love the title of this video! 👍 But i also love both the gold AGE and Gold Kangaroo coins, i usually purchase them in the smaller 1/10 oz versions.
Viola Ligeon fractional Buffalos would be great!
I wish the mint would bring back fractional Buffalos
So say we all!
Great video as always, thank you for the history lesson and education in general... I enjoyed the last video and want to focus on Eagles & Buffalos as their resale value is the best and in the end, that is what really matters if you are preserving wealth.
Thanks! It’s easy to get distracted by other coins, but sticking to Eagles and Buffalos here is the smart play. Cheers!
Regarding 4:48, although the American Gold Eagle and the South African Krugerrand are both 22k gold coins, their compositions are different. The American Gold Eagle is made from 91.67% gold, 5.33% copper & 3% silver which give it a golden color. On the other hand, the South African Krugerrand is made from 91.67% & 8.33% copper which gives a red gold color.
I love the gold Buffalo. 14 of my 19 ounces are American gold Buffalo coins.
Nice!
So niceee🐂i have 6 - 1 oz buffaloes & 1 -1/10 oz buffalo😊my all time favorite 2 as well!!👍🏽
Carlos Vera is like to get a hold of some of those fractional Buffalo proofs!
Is the buffalo as easy to scratch or bend as some people say ? I have some eagles but I’m super interested in the buffalos
Chrisinsocal they’re 24K so they should be in capsules, but they don’t have fine lines or flat fields like a lot of other coins, so they won’t show scratches as easily. I’ve never noticed any scratches on any of mine, but most of my Maples show some form of wear.
Buffalo looks so good. One of my favorites for sure.
Good morning from Texas. Agree.
👋
Buffalo is the best coin by far. It's so great looking, love it.
Yup.. wish i had a buffalo gold coin.. but its way out of my price range lol.. hands down tho.. i think the Buffalo is the one to get.. just Beautiful.. thanks for sharing.. ✌😎💙
Thanks for watching!
Stunning coin
Love the Buffs! 👍👍👍
I had a 1/4 ounce gold eagle. I didn’t care for the color they have with the copper mixed in. Buffalos are pure yellow gold and beautiful ! Eagles have a reddish tint to them
The older fractional gold eagles have a more yellow tone. The newer fractionals are rose gold.
@@Luckyboyee777 Is that why everyone is talking about Eagles having a rose tone? My older ones have a whitish tone.
@@Luckyboyee777 good to know
As I’m new to the hobby
Thanks
I think the mint should come out with a hobo edition too! Spice it up.
Ha!!! Where do I sign the hobo petition?! 😂🤣
Best idea yet
I would absolutely love if they started selling quarter and half ounce Buffalo gold.....I know they released a full set that one year but they should make it every year ....Buffalo.....fractional....GOOOOOLLLLLLD
I LOVE that idea. That would be way cool.
Bro!! You are a freekin genius!!👊
Buffalo (bison), but love all gold. 💰
BUFFALO! 😂
Omg that gold liberty 2017 is beautiful!! I want one!! Give it an airtight without the black ring to show off the edges. I used to only stack gold bars but I recently just purchased a gold coin and now I want to trade in all my bars for coins lol
It's my favorite coin, period. I have a few capsules on order! 😀Cheers!
Gold eagle!!!! I honestly think the 22-karat of the eagle gives it an advantage you can handle it carry in your pocket you don't have to treat it like it's fragile!! I don't know I think if they made the Buffaloes in fractionals I would have a quarter ounce or something but the Eagles are by far my favorite!!
Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I like the hefty feel of the 50 peso Centenarios! Also the Britannia Design.
As long your stacking your good to go!
Both are nice coins. Cheers!
To me the gold Britannia is the most beautiful gold coin in the world right now.
Comparing the color between AGE and Buffalo in person... you will see why lots of us pick buffalo....
The Buffalo looks like the real thing. Gold that is. I agree big difference in color.
Charlie Pugh yes!! Looks like shining gold!! Working on my 1st tub of herd
I’ve got 4 now love the buffalo.
Nice!
2 is 1
Yes I voted for the Buffalo because it's such a beautiful coin.
I still love the AGE then the Maple.
Your high relief Liberty is definitely growing on me me the more I see it.
I'd only pick one up if I could find a good deal.
Every time I've ever seen them for sail on line or at a coin show the mark up has been astronomical.
Looks like we have the same thoughts!
Occasionally I have done a poll in my community tab - which becomes the answer from ‘the crowd’ in the next video. Sometimes I just take a poll and don’t do anything with it.
Still voting 1/2 AGE, but Buffalo is the only gold coin with 2 great designs.
Silver Heist true! Out of curiosity, are you interested in the End of War (WWII) coins from the Mint?
@@2is1gold yes I am interested in V75 ASE and V75 AGE both for a two week flip.
I saw a headline calling it
“The End of the World
War 2 ASE”
And I thought it was the “end of the world”. AKA the “$67 ASE” 😂
Ha!
Absolutely beautiful my favorite American coin although I prefer maples
Two of my favorites!
Yes please!!!! I want some buffalos! They look like they are awesome but I haven’t seen one in person! Am I missing out?
Chrisinsocal they’re fantastic coins. Good mix of old and new. There are a lot of great 24K options, though, if you don’t live in the U.S..
I love the 2017 HR keeping it forever
I have plenty of krugerrands and sovereigns. I spent a lot of time over seas. So the idea that I would need to make moves, in other countries, is why I stacked those. I like to view other people’s collection but, I’m a pure stacker. I actually do like the Buffalo/Indian Head coin better than the eagle. A lot of my silver coins are maple leafs. I feel guilty now, I really don’t have many American Eagles in my collection.
Can’t go wrong with Krugs.
I’m happy to say I bought my first buffalo today. It was hard to pony up the money but I feel you pay less in premium and in California if you purchase bullion over $1,500 it’s tax exempt so more money to save. Thanks for getting me hooked on these, question though my coin isn’t as yellow as yours? Do you think it’s because of lighting?
Yeah, probably the light. Get it in the sunlight, and it’ll shine!
@@2is1gold I have a 2006 that I purchased from a LCS a while ago. I was going through my stack and realized the color is a little off on the 2006 and it’s really crappy quality compared to a 2020 or 2021. The weight checks out and the ping test checks out the diameter it’s good. I didn’t know if you had seen or have any 2006s, if they were all rough when they first started striking them? When I say rough I don’t mean the texture is rough, I just mean the rim is very non-uniform and it has a darker almost toning on the coin.
I extremely love your videos and advice. Merci beaucoup !
De rien!
@@2is1gold a pleasure :)
Fast question : you are not too much into silver ...?
@@ikust007 I'm not a big fan of silver.
@@2is1gold because of the overall better value of gold ...? Extremely hard for me to buy ...:(
Pulled the trigger on a 2021 Buffalo today even though $80 more than a Maple Leaf. It'll be my first Buffalo. Have 3 Maples and a couple AGEs. Can't wait to hold it in hand.
You'll love it!
@@2is1goldThanks. I know I would. Been eyeing it for months now. Finally overrode my frugal, penny-counting pragmatic self.
I'm from Europe (Germany) an I also like the "Buffalo", great design, but the premium is a bit high. I think I buy one or two when the gold price comes down a little from the actual level. My favourite goldcoins are those from the Perth Mint (Kangaroos and Lunar Series), because of their yearly design change - and the "Wiener Philharmoniker", of course.
Perth Mint is probably my favorite in terms of quality. If location wasn’t my primary influence They’d be at the top of my list! Cheers!
@@2is1gold That's true. The P.M.'s quality is extraordinary. That's also why I'm not interested in Krugerrand-coins: mass production, and you see it.
What do you stack in Germany? The philharmonics?
@@Chrisinsocal According to the statistics, the Topseller coins in Germany are Krugerrand, the Maple Leaf and, yes, the Philharmoniker (Philharmonics?). Coins that are minted in Germany, the so-called "Goldeuro" (half-ounce official commemorative coins, nominal value 100 €) aren't so common. But also gold bars have their place. In Silver, I think the Maple Leaf (probably because of their promise, that the newer ones would bei safe from milk spots) and the Australian Kangaroos are sold very often.
Uwe H. Very informative than you! I’ve never even heard of the goldeuro
American Gold Buffalo 9999 is AWESOME! American Gold Eagles 91.67 are cool too. Both are about the same price. Buffalo is a higher relief coin compared to the AGE. AGE has fractional denomination.
it's that dark yellow 24k vs the copper look of the AGE
Bonjour. Je m'intéresse depuis quelque temps aux pièces d'or et je regarde beaucoup vos vidéos. Hélas je ne suis pas assez anglophone pour tout comprendre. Aussi j'ai une question : certaines pièces ont un fond brillant, et j'ai cru comprendre qu'elles sont plus rares, à tirages plus limités, et donc plus chères.Est-ce qu'il s'agit des pièces nommées "épreuves", ou "proof" en anglais ? Comment fait-on pour se les procurer ? Merci d'avance pour vos réponses.
Salutations from south France !
New subscriber and a new stacker of the Buffalo coin. Why are the prices of say the 2022 year buffaloes cheaper than previous years? Shouldn't it be the other way? Cheers from Denver Colorado!
They're only cheaper because that's what the online dealers have the most of. Cheers!
This is very informative. Thank you. I'm new to investing in gold. What is a 100% safe way for me to buy buffalos? I'm scared I'm going to get a fake. I want to get them at spot price too.
The Buffalo is No Bull! The 1/4 AGE rocks too. I'd love a 50 Pesos and 1oz Britannia too.
All true!
great video what capsules do you use can you put a link please and thank you
Check the description on this video. All the links should be in there! ua-cam.com/video/m7lSvVq3FFc/v-deo.html
Put aside the Britannias for a while and just started stacking the Buffalo, awaiting my first one from SD. Love the ruggedness of the Buffalo compared to the refinement of the Britannia, can't wait to see the contrast in person once I have these two coins side-by-side. 1=0
I think you'll love it. Cheers!
@@2is1gold I do! Just ordered my 3rd Buffalo. Will be stacking these along with the Britannias exclusively.
Before 2006, I bought Eagles. Since 2006, I have focused on Buffalos and Pandas.
i just bought a bunch of soveriegns and older 1800 gold quarters... and i came across these... very nice i think i started an addiction...
My favourite coin hands down
🤜🤛
quick question if the U.S. mint issues fractional buffalos would anybody still by fractional eagles NOT ME
I'd maybe go half and half if I didn't already have a bunch of the Eagles. I'd switch entirely if they did, though.
They actually do have fractional buffalo's expensive as hell
@@SilverLife-oi4ng they released a full proof set in 2008.
I missed the poll but not this beautiful eye candy.
My late vote is for The US Gold Buffalo!
Eagles are so popular because the 22 karat gold is more durable, but I love the buffaloes.
And they're far more familiar to people. Eagles are the smarter choice. Buffalos are just really nice looking. :)
Very awesome stack 🐂🐃😃✌️
Thanks!
I have that exact "big scary knife"...it's like a fixed blade Sebenza.
I bought a 1oz Gold Buffalo however I would really like variety in my gold so in the future I'm going to be getting a maple then an eagle.
Silver Saint those are the big three for me. I’d be content with only those coins. Cheers!
Don't forget the brittania!
I love how the beginning is just “Buffalo” that’s all he says it’s so random but so funny
I love the silver Canadian Maple Leaf - best basic gov bullion silver coin around - but I never loved the gold version of the Canadian Maple Leaf. Those 1 oz. gold coins are just too small for my taste. In 1 oz. gold the US dominates for sure with the gold Buffalo as its best effort and the 1 oz. gold Eagle as a close second, but let's not forget Great Britain. Those Queen's Beasts look truly fantastic in any format.
I’ve had to work hard to not get sucked into the QB series! They look great. So do the Britannias.
Damn fine... Damn fine coin my friend
Yep! Thanks! 👍🏼
My favorite.
Hard to not love them!
I will say the new 2021 Britannia is pretty sick!
💯 But I still won’t buy it, personally. Okay, maybe I’d buy one. Only a fraction of a fraction of the public would know the coin. Especially, here in middle America. I want as many potential buyers as possible. SC might be more metropolitan! 🎩 😂
Gold Buffalo...my favorite!
I just bought my 1st 1oz gold coin and with a bit of hesitation I decided on the buffalo. Based on looks alone it would've been between the Maple and almost any Perth mint gold coin. The .9999 fine with the maple leaf or just about any perth design looks the absolute best imo but being my first 1oz purchase I leaned toward the buffalo so I could have a mixture of the 24k with sovereign coin.
I want to buy my first buffalo gold coin for my birthday, can I ask , how much does it cost ? I have seen many prices online ( I am a noob that doesn't know a lot ) , haven't check if any gold coin stores near me have them (if they do ) , and can I buy a gold coin with cash ?
@@reinaldonavarro3800 if you find a coin shop you can most likely get the best price from one of those with cash. However beware not all coin shops are best price. Unfortunately I do not have a local coin shop (aka LCS) near me. I buy mostly from reputable online bullion dealers. Herobullion, SDBullion, JMBullion, Apmex, BoldPreciousMetals, Provident Metals, are some of the larger most reputable ones. I personally prefer SD, Hero, and JM. JM has been a bit high with prices lately but them and Apmex usually have the biggest variety. SD and Hero usually have some of the best pricing. Now is a pretty hectic time because of the constant changing in spot prices. I would check all of the above and find the least expensive. You can also avoid paying higher costs by choosing to pay via wire transfer or electronic check. Using a debit or credit card will cost more. Deposit your cash in your checking account and use electronic check payment method. When I purchased my 1st buffalo a cpl months ago the gold spot price was around $1928 and I paid $2006. It was on sale for the $2006. It will be cheaper now with spot price in the $1800s. You can buy other 1oz gold coins for a bit less like the Britannia or Krugerrand. Hope this helps! Once you start accumulating gold and silver and start holding it in your hands it gets addictive! But it's a great way to preserve your wealth. 👍
My first coins were buffalo but i sold 2 to buy a 18k gold necklace that has 2 oz of 24k in it
My first 1 oz is the buffalo. My second full oz was 1/4 oz eagles
Nice! My picks exactly!
Where did you get the capsules/ tube? Can you provide a link for me please? ... Thanks
Amazon: amzn.to/38TpVE9
yeah Buffalos hands down for the whole oz and Eagles for your fractional stack.smartest way to stack gold
Like minds...
I stick to 1oz gold coins, I don't need fractional gold because I have silver lol.
Good to see u are also a crk fan
Great eye! It's a lot easier to ID my Sebenzas! Cheers!
@@2is1gold same interests😀 i have 4 sebenzas and 2 bufflalos
Juniper Wang four, wow! Two 21s for me, one in each size. The new 31s have me looking at damascus blades again!
I have to agree I like the buffalo too. But I only have the reverse proof and proof buffalo.. I think I sold all my Eagles those are plentiful.
Silver4Life 1230 they’re easy to sell!
Dang...the only Buffalo I have is a plated buffalo. Sheets I wanna big gold buff!
where did you get that tube that holds the doins in their capsules? I was offered Proof coins for the same price as Unc's in that last deal so I'm stuck with them in Caps......
They're Air-tite as well. Amazon or OnFireGuy have them.
@@2is1gold Worth a "Thank You" - I'd mention the fact that 1'4 oz's are only $10.00 and it take 5 to equal $50 face value unlike any other combination of the coins. No scalping in LA state so they sell tickets for 1/4 oz I/e $10.00 gold legal tender coins to equal the Dollar value of the ticket so no scalping takes place. But they get their profit. I love it.
I have all 3 the gold merc dime,standing liberty quarter and the walking liberty half what are they worth to u,I keep looking at the buffalo and think I'm getn that next! Thinkn a proof buffalo
I've never seen a UA-camr talk about Turkish gold coins. Is it because it's from a different region (altho Francs also from a different region but seen them many times in UA-cam vids from American stackers) or is there something else why people seem to avoid it? Thank you for your reply
Just bought my first buffalo🤤 the eagle just doesn't do it for me anymore🤣
Buffalos are great!
For the Buffalo, why are some years more expensive than others?
Also, I am trying to fill up a tube of Buffalos. Is there an advantage to buying years, ie, 2006,2007,2008...2021? Thank you.
I bought a pair of “first spouse” 1/2 oz proof gold coins recently. .9999. They’re beautiful coins but definitely not as exciting as the buffalos & eagles. The first spouse were originally sold as collector items (probably way overpriced) but I got a good deal at just over spot.
Love number for us. Of course that may be because I’m from Kansas:)
Yeah, I'm a little North of you (usually).
U need an out the front Microtech Halo 2 for the knife.
The BUFFALO intro. 😂
😄
I don’t like the maple because of it size , their size is small but thick. Buffalo all the way .
I like 32mm too because most of my coins are that size. Cheers!
Ironically, those are good traits in a girl
Here in North Dakota we say "Bizon" ;)
😄
Do you pronounce resource as rezource?
You need to be a book narrator . Awesome voice.
Ha, thank you!
I know that American bullion is the easiest to sell in the United States, but I just can't help myself... The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins are absolutely stunning. They are simply my favorite, but that doesn't mean I stack them exclusively.
They're my favorite aesthetically as well. Cheers!
May be off topic for this title but it’s got me thinking. Is there a formula you would use to buy gold based on income? Would you treat buying gold coins the same as you would when putting cash in your savings? Would that process of thinking work in the long run?
I know people have mentioned reserving a percentage of income for metals, but I don't do that. I go at it more from the angle of what I can comfortably budget. And then I make sure I stick to it.
HI 2. I CALL MY BUFFALOS "THE HERD." *TYU*
As it should be! Cheers!
buffalo and eagles then maples but everyone has a preference love other peoples thought process on what they like !
I have two preferences. Logical preferences and emotional preferences. Once in a while, there’s overlap!
Herds on the Move!!!!
Yes sir! Slowly but surely! 😁
Like the full tang fixed blade. Who’s the crafter?
Chris Reeve! They stopped making them, unfortunately. I grabbed a second one when they announced they were done.
I could have gotten a Buffalo as it is my favourite. But I want to wait. Once I hit a goal. I’ll get one.
I bought the eagle but kinda wish I bought the buffalo since its prettier and looking at gold is nice. Next purchase is going to be a buffalo.
Nice looking metals 😆
Anyone know the answers to my questions? Thanks in advance. Is the gold Buffalo 1 oz MS-69 worth getting to pay a premium? I see some utuber treat MS-69 as nothing special. They break it out of a case. Are MS-69 for resell get any premium when comes to resell? MS-70 vs MS-69 1 oz Buffalo...how much premium can we get when compared between the two when we sell them to private buyer and dealer?
MS69 wouldn’t have any extra premium. I wouldn’t personally pay any additional premium for any bullion coin even at 70 and a local coin shop won’t pay more either. You might hook a private buyer on eBay for more if it’s a proof.
I always go with the American Bison
Buffalo! 😂
American here but I just can't wrap my head around the high premium AGE & Buffalo, not huge fan of their design either. As I live here they should be LESS, not more. I have picked up some 1/4 AGE proofs when SD put them on sale but what I really love is the full ounce Maple. Such a striking look and color along with decent cost and 4 nines pure. I understand I will not get as large premium back when selling the Maple but no plans to sell nor have enough to worry about tax issues. Should spot drop much more I am considering getting a killer 50 Peso. Cheers and happy stacking.
Sure. The Maple will be exponentially more popular than the Centenario, though. Cheers!
You pay taxes on your coins? 😆
Ponolovefarms what coins? I lost all mine in an unfortunate boating accident!
@@ponolovefarms3926 potentially you can but I haven't.
@@2is1gold 😅😅😅😅
buffalo my next purchase, picked up a 1924 20$ double eagle yesterday
Nice!
I'm sure that if the Buffalo came in all the fractional sizes that the Eagle does it would at least be closer in popularity if not outright on top.
I’d be interested to hear what you do that enables you to afford saving so much
I own a business. Nothing huge.
Britannia they’re also very beautiful and supposedly great counterfeit hologram
ooooo im getting one of them libertys... niiice
Just got a gold eagle type 2 and I personally like it better
This is hands down my absolute favourite coin. I just received a 2010 Buffalo from APMEX yesterday. I need 3 more to complete the series. Wish me luck!
Good luck!
Gold Buffalo is nice, very cool BUT the Gold Maple is still nicer. Both are nice. The Gold Eagle is ok but nothing beats PURE Gold.
🤜🤛
Nice video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!
