- The 1 oz American Gold Buffalo gold coin seems to be the clear crowd favorite on TH-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.

@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 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!
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
I wish the mint would bring back fractional Buffalos
So say we all!
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 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!!👊
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.
Good morning from Texas. Agree.
👋
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'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
Buffalo looks so good. One of my favorites for sure.
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!!
Buffalo (bison), but love all gold. 💰
BUFFALO! 😂
Beautiful collection. Thank you for doing the videos!!
Thanks for the comment - I appreciate that!
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!
Buffalo is the best coin by far. It's so great looking, love it.
it's that dark yellow 24k vs the copper look of the AGE
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!
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.
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.
Before 2006, I bought Eagles. Since 2006, I have focused on Buffalos and Pandas.
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.
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.
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. :)
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’ve got 4 now love the buffalo.
Nice!
I love the 2017 HR keeping it forever
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
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..
They're my number 4. In order of numbers held:
1) U.K. Sovereigns
2) French Napoleons
3) Krugerrands
4) Gold Buffaloes.
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!
I missed the poll but not this beautiful eye candy.
My late vote is for The US Gold Buffalo!
The Buffalo is No Bull! The 1/4 AGE rocks too. I'd love a 50 Pesos and 1oz Britannia too.
All true!
Britannia they’re also very beautiful and supposedly great counterfeit hologram
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!
I think the Maples offer the best value with purity, security features, design, and lower premiums.
Better outside of the US where you aren't working against lesser popularity or the 1099-B if you're concerned with additional reporting requirements. I'm still a fan of Maples, though. Cheers!
2 is 1 I asked another TH-cam and he said the eagles are not exempt to. Anything over $10,000 I don’t know if he was mixing up what I was referring to what you had told me.
Mike D certain municipalities have local reporting requirements (to be kept at the request of local law enforcement ), but they aren’t filed with the IRS.
@@miked6097 except that they are counted as $50 stamped on it rather than spot at the airport if you're traveling. Bars and non,gov stuff is counted at spot so at limit will be seized Call ahead, you will be sitting in small office while agents figure it out anyway. 🙋🐣🌺
Goldcic Vibefel ya I know about that one. All I have are couple small maples and eagles anyway, I’m not traveling though, But thanks man!!!
Stunning coin
sir , please guide me That in future Trade will be in gold or creptocruncy , Muhammad ullah express kpk bannu Wazirstan pakistan,
Can't help you there. I like both, but there are too many variables. Good luck!
I have that exact "big scary knife"...it's like a fixed blade Sebenza.
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!
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! 🎩 😂
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 !
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.
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!
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.
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.
🤜🤛
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.
Here in North Dakota we say "Bizon" ;)
😄
Do you pronounce resource as rezource?
What's the difference between a round and a coin. I still don't understand.
Love the Buffs! 👍👍👍
Absolutely beautiful my favorite American coin although I prefer maples
Two of my favorites!
You can go with that 495 First spouse or first ladies it’s much cheaper than a gold buffalo as far as bad price
My favourite coin hands down
🤜🤛
Was that a Chris Reeves Nyala?
Probably! (I'll look later, and let you know if not. I definitely have one, though, and love it! Good eye!)
Yes it is! I have one of those bad boys too!
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!
U need an out the front Microtech Halo 2 for the knife.
My first coins were buffalo but i sold 2 to buy a 18k gold necklace that has 2 oz of 24k in it
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.
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!
I just can't get myself to get over the dislike of mixed metals... I feel like if I want gold I want it to be GOLD GOLD... and im tempted to go with the maples... but i don't want the queen on my sh*t
My first 1 oz is the buffalo. My second full oz was 1/4 oz eagles
Nice! My picks exactly!
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.
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!
If gold rises to $2000+ oz then I’m going direct for that 2017 Liberty in the fancy case etc. Until then I’m just buying what I like from Royal Mint 🇬🇧
Ha!
I buy from the Royal Mint too. I like buying the 1 gram gold bars. Most people in the world can’t afford gold and that’s only going to become more true. They have gone down by £10 so it’s a good time to buy. I’d buy the 1/10 gold Britannia’s. I’ve got a few silver Britannia’s.
@@noodlyappendage6729 that’s great. I’ve looked on the Royal Mint site - they’re currently awaiting stock for the 1/10.
I’d be interested to hear what you do that enables you to afford saving so much
I own a business. Nothing huge.
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...
I don't like the Buffalo or the Eagle, myself. Don't really have a lot of options though as I live in the US. Getting bars or foreign coins just makes your investment less liquid here.
The Buffalo grew on me.
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
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.
Herds on the Move!!!!
Yes sir! Slowly but surely! 😁
My favorite.
Hard to not love them!
Dang...the only Buffalo I have is a plated buffalo. Sheets I wanna big gold buff!
Buffalo 66, not just a great movie but my goal.
This will protect you against the crash the big drop Buffalo gold coins
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.
Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Would you ever do a beginners guide to buying your first coin?
You have a good platform to get us millennials buying.
I don’t think my friends know what gold even looks like.
Yeah, sure. They come across as repetitive to some of my subscribers, but I'll try to put together a video soon. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers!
2 is 1 no worries on that, I like revisiting topics myself. Plus, I welcome any reinforcement of my buffalo purchases😂😂😂
But I think it would be cool if you did a veteran stacker teaching a newbie the basics of getting started.
Or maybe a tutorial on how to buy on JM bullion or
Maybe like a 1/2/3 steps of buying your first coin and any tips.
Something like that, just a suggestion… Would be cool and I can share it with my investment Facebook group!
You need to be a book narrator . Awesome voice.
Ha, thank you!
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 ...:(
buffalo my next purchase, picked up a 1924 20$ double eagle yesterday
Nice!
Perth Lunars are way nicer than any AGE
Just got a gold eagle type 2 and I personally like it better
I would pay up for that Liberty. It is one of the best coins the mint has ever made.
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.
Where did you get the capsules/ tube? Can you provide a link for me please? ... Thanks
Amazon: amzn.to/38TpVE9
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 will agree that the 24kt American coin is what most would prefer, but not the Native American head Buffalo coin, the American Eagle is what should be placed on the 24kt coin. The Eagle will always be more popular nation-wide, but the Buffalo will hold the inarguable acceptable value world wide, due to the purity of Gold.
Victor Frankenstein I don’t have any issue with culturally, but I’d like to see new designs all the way around. Not sure why the Mint has to dig up past designs to begin with.
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!
6:40, 2 is 1: "Pop up in the comments & sometimes forget what You show" Forget the comments, Just Keep Showing.!
I've been trying to save silver so that I could trade it for one of these types of 1 ounce buffalo gold coin. So far I've only accumulated 40 ounces of silver in the form of Aztec calendar 5 ounce bars (8 quantity) Being a poor person it's a lot harder.
It's expensive stuff. Keep at it. It'll come. Cheers!
The best move might be to sort through pennies. Cents minted before 1982 are worth about 3 cents each. The government will stop making pennies soon enough and then you will be able to sell them for their metal content. I have bought gold and silver but copper should be a great tangible asset as well.
Well some lucky guy called and came to buy the 40 ounce off of my hand. I gave him a good price. Only $1000.00 instead of $1400.00. Bargain deal! I did that to hurry up and sell the silver just so I would buy an ounce of Gold Buffalo. But even though I did this. I still don't have the gold coin. even though I have the money for it.
@@tmo4330 I think a kilo bar of copper is around $200.00 in some places.
I've never seen a TH-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 TH-cam vids from American stackers) or is there something else why people seem to avoid it? Thank you for your reply
The Gold Britannia is better. 1 oz, half oz, one quarter oz and 1/10 oz. I would say that though, I’m from the UK.
If I lived in the UK, that's all I'd buy. The 2021 Britannia is the best coin of the year, in my opinion. Cheers!
I know its a year later but I was all about the 1oz Maple until I heard about the tax thing....I like the Brittania more than the AGE and the Kruggerand is way cheaper than the Buffalo so there is my 2 cents spelling and punctuation errors and all.
If they mix copper or silver in with the Gold to make it more durable, then what happens when the copper and silver corrode while it's in the Gold coin? Or will that happen?
You'll see slight discoloration. You can see 90% gold coins that are hundreds of years old. I don't think you have to worry about corrosion of the alloy. Cheers!
