In America I'd say the Buffalo then the Eagle. Overall the Britannia wins it for me with the security features and being pure gold. My problem with the gold maple is that the silver maple looks more stunning 🤣
I am with you. Brittania is absolutely gorgeous. Not a big fan of the buffalo. Do not see the appeal compared to the detail and security features of the britt
If you haven't already can you a video on stacking for fractionals? I'm fond of Mexican 50 pesos(1.20 troy ounces), Austrian and Netherlands 1 Ducats (basically 1/9th troy ounce 3.494 0.1107 ozt but its getting harder and harder to find Netherland ducats and proofs.
@@anthonytripp2251 Elizabeth II did a pretty good job of being a dignified figurehead queen in a parliamentary democracy, and her service goes back to WW II. Her son will make her look like a paragon of dignity, I fear. Chuck is woke and elitist as F.
The Krugerrand is a world standard bullion coin and globally recognized and accepted. Currently the premiums aren't crazy so I would put it higher on the stacker list
The krugerrand is very expensive to buy in Canada because it is taxable upon buying because of its purity. So it costs an extra like $140 or so to buy on top of spot and the premium. I'd love to get one someday but not any time soon
I started out as a collector of coins so I love pre 33 gold. Way more valuable than just melt and I love the history behind them. I stack constitutional silver but almost all the gold for me are pre 33...
I appreciate you Yankee. Not just for good advice on silver and gold stacking, but for your patriotism, character, and most importantly, your Christian spirit. If we are to make it in this country, it won't be without God's help. Thank you for being an unashamed witness for God and all that is good in our country.
I agree with that. There’s something about the added copper durability of the Krugerrand that is appealing to me. I’d place it over the Kangeroo and Philharmonic.
Its funny over here in NZ, Kangaroos and Maples are probably the best 1oz coins to stack as the American stuff has huge premiums. Also Gold sovereigns are pretty good to buy with the lowest premiums for fractional gold.
Krugerrand should be in anyone's Top 5, IMHO; ranked far too low here. One of the most iconic gold coins of all time. Ask a layperson what a Philharmonic or Kangaroo is in terms of coins and you'll get shrugs. Mention a Krugerrand and the majority of them know what you're talking about.
I truly admire your discipline. I made many financial mistakes in my twenties. Watching you has given me inspiration to get my affairs in order (among other things). When you stop spending for today, and instead save for the future, it completely changes the way you look at life. People need to stop thinking that having personal discipline means they have to stop having fun or enjoying life.
My overall Rankings: 1. Britannia 2. Buffalo 3. Eagle 4. Maple Leaf 5. Krugerrand 6. Liberty 7. Kangeroo 8. Libertad 9. Panda 10. Philharmonic On a different day I could easily choose the Buffalo or Gold Eagle as my number 1, especially since I live in America. The Britannia is just perfection imo, and it usually has a better premium than the AGE, Buffalo, or Maple. I’m not as down on the Libertad as Yankee, but I wouldn’t pay the normal premium for one either. I would never stack a Philharmonic when I could get a Maple Leaf or Britannia at the same price. The Krugerrand’s ruggedness is appealing as a change up as it would likely make the best currency out of all of these. I like the Panda design, and we can have disdain for China all we want, but if we’re ever using gold as currency again, then there is a high probability that the Chinese will be a top trading partner of ours. The Kangeroo is okay, but like the Philharmonic, it’s a step below its competition imo. The Libertys are an interesting coin. I know some like Bill Holter highly recommend the Liberty for confiscation reasons. At the end of the day, an ounce of gold is an ounce of gold. The lower the premium the better, though I do prefer gold coins to bars or rounds.
My brother just got me a gold 1oz 2023 buffalo from Apmex as a emergency savings . Awesome idea right .. I am not great with cash so this is safer to hold onto for long term
Buffalos have zero security features, and the minting quality control is absurdly poor. Lots of info about inconsistent rim width, the striking is very poorly done. Definitely rated last for me.
Nice collection there Yankee! Although in the US, all my gold ounces are Maples. Beautiful design, 24K, and a substantially lower (right now at my LCS $45 lower) premium than on Buffalos. The US Mint should match their prices IMO.
My two cents. If you think world-wide and not just the US, then the Canadian Maple Leaf or any .9999 pure gold coin is the most desired. Many individuals do not like the American Eagle due to its lack of purity. Testing needs to be considered; does the coin or bar test well with a Sigma Metalytics: Precious Metal Verifier (that most dealers have). Some Chinese Pandas do not test well with a Sigma due to the coin manufacturing process and the coin will require an XRF verifier. I never had a Maple leaf fail a test. At a show in Baltimore, the Russians would buy all the Gold Buffalos on the early bird day because they wanted the .9999 purity; would not touch the American Eagle. My rule of thumb is buy the cheapest sovereign that is .9999......unless you get a deal too good to pass up for a non-pure American Eagle or Krugerrand. You will learn quickly unless you have a collector mentality to buy the coin with the lowest premium. You are a stacker not a museum curator.....lol.
In east Europe: 1. The Australian Kangaroo 2. The Wiener Philharmoniker 3. Britannia 4. The Maple leaf 5. The Krügerrand 6. The Sovereign The Buffalo and Eagle are bad idea here especially in my country. What you said about China from political perspective, totally the same goes for the Usa government and the usa embassies which are trying desperately to interfere politically in every single country here in Europe in the worst possible way. So as you see, the coin has other side too,but hey.....no matter what, nice and informative video 👍 and thumbs up for your channel !!!
Excellent presentation. I have more Krugerrands than any other gold coin (12) and agree that the color is a little off-putting. But I got them at good discounts and gold is gold, correct?
Hi Yankee! I was totally surprised that we both choose the Buffalo. Some don’t like it because of the design however it is a US Mint and .9999 purity. Best bang for the buck IMHO. I picked up a Buffalo first strike ms70 for less than a cull AE 22 karat..
Yankee the best gold ounce is the cheapest gold ounce. With that said, my desire to pay a little premium goes to the buffalo. Krugerrands always end up on bottom next to bars and rounds, all the other’s are about the same when you sell them.
My favourite bullion coins are Krügerrand and American Eagle. No Queen and one of the traditional modern bullion coins. The guys also thought of something when they decided on the alloy. You have to treat 24 K gold like raw eggs.
I’m starting to add Gold to my stack. Great vid! Personally I really dislike the Queen on my coins lol. That being said can’t beat the low premiums on gold maples.
Excellent video, sir! And thank you for your witness at the end. May our Lord bless you for that! I love that you're stacking variety. I started out doing that: Kruggs, Kangaroos, AGEs, $10 pre 33 Eagles, some ½ oz. Philharmonics, and even a 1982 ½ oz Panda. My goal was to have as many different coins as possible. And then I bought 2 Buffalos. My next purchase was to be 2 Britanias, and 2 of something else, maybe Maples. Somehow that ended up being 4 more Buffalos. Then I ended up ordering 4 more so we now have a half tube. Not sure what happened, but I’ve really grown to like that coin. OK, I do know what’s happened: they’re American bullion and they’re four 9’s fine - ‘nuf said. So, yeah, count me in the Buffalo column! 😊
My father-in-law was big on krugs. I think he watched Lethal Weapon a few too many times! I am not a fan of krugs unless I can get them close to spot, very close. I dumped all that I had when gold went up a decent amount. Unsurprisingly, they did not command the same premium other gold coins did such as the AGE and Buffalo. I probably have more kangaroos than I should, usually obtainable at about half the premium as the AGE, but the resale again suffers on the premiums. Nice top 10 review, and gorgeous proof AGE. I should do a top 10 worst gold coins to stack, because I've bought my fair share of them!
The image of the Queen is indeed very beautiful. However it's no longer being minted. We now have King Charles III and it looks like his face is melting.
For stackers in the USA, the Maples, Krugerrands, and Libertads have 1099-B IRS reporting requirements when 25 troy ounces are bought from or sold to a bullion dealer in a single transaction. The Eagles, Buffalos, Philharmonics, Britannias, Perth Mint coins, and even the Pandas are exempt from reporting. This is something people should be aware of before choosing a gold stacking target. I did not know this when I started stacking in 1999 and chose to stack Maples exclusively. So if I wanted to sell my entire collection and wished to avoid reporting, I would have to divide it up between several bullion dealers.
i missed this somehow glad it popped up in my feed. i buy silver from all around the world but when it comes to gold, all i buy are buffalos, eagles and pre-33. i pay the premium and know i could get more for my money if i bought foreign gold. but, i just never have. good video
Yankee....shame on you, the Austrian Philharmonic is a stunning coin and thats coming from a Brit. However, you ar spot on with the Buffalo, I love that coin and have 3 in my collection but those premiums here in the UK are eye watering. Please have a word with the powers that be and make them more affordable! 😉
My top 9. 1) Britannia, 2) Maple, 3) Kangaroos 4) Libertads 5) AGE 6) Buffalo 7) Liberty 8) Philharmonic 9) Krugerrands. Only 9 because I'm not giving money to the Chi-Coms full stop.
I don't necessarily disagree with your take, but I think it's always worth noting that buying too many Maples or Krugerrands in the US is a bad idea. If the time comes that you need to sell them (I know we never want to but if times get tough we may need to) you can be audited if you sell too many at once. Given the recent "upgrades" to the IRS I take that threat pretty seriously
Trying to get my gold stack up at the moment. Got started with a 1/10 philharmonic, 1/10 brittania, 1/10 age, and 1/10 maple leaf. 3 are 2022 and the AGE I got from Tim is a 1995 which is my birth year and I didn’t even see the date when I bought it!!
I agree with your rankings and reasons, especially the top 5, spot on. I can't believe you don't own a proof Buffalo, though, Yankee (I assume because you didn't mention it). Gotta get one for your collection!
Good choices. The Kuegerand was my first one ounce coin. Too much copper even though it still has one ounce of gold. The American Gold buffalo is a modern day classic that truly captures the American spirit. That's my number one as well
But be careful who you are buying from…….do not trust the dealers’ grading if you can’t see it in person. I will never buy graded pre 1933 from SD ever again. I was super disappointed.
I started with Krugerrands, then Buffalos, then Britannias & Maples, then got a screaming deal on some Philharmonics. Thereafter, the rest of my gold stack has been all Buffalos. Just couldn't beat the premiums at the time and they felt good in the hand.
You should have included the Spanish Doubloon. Now the 2023 version is the Caballo (Lince 2021 and Toro 2022). An ounce coin with the quadruple image security system. I believe that today a gold coin that does not have an anti-counterfeiting system is outdated.
10 - Chinese Panda cz they're not in troy ounces, 9 - Libertads cz they're so expensive, 8 - Kruggerrand cz they're taxable in my country, 7 - Eagle cz they're taxable in my country, 6 - Pre 33 cz they're taxable in my country, 5 - Australian, 4 - Austrian, 3 - Buffalo, 2 - Britannia, 1 - Maple Leaf
I would flip #1 and #2 personally. The buffalo is beautiful but just isn't as popular and I always consider how well they will sell if it ever comes to that. However, I know that you don't ever plan to sell and neither do I but you never know. Now the buffalo will sell but I think there is more interest in the AGE. Thanks Yankee...great video!
Nice ranking. I personally don´t care what´s on the coin but what´s inside. And: I am not a huge fan of PRC, but if you can get gold pandas near melt value, buy them. Some of them (especially from the 90s) got some very high premiums.
Glad to see the Centenario being mentioned. My favourite coin by far, and quite popular here in France, plus it's the lowest premium "large" gold coin (just after Austria's 100 Corona, which is way less popular). 50 Pesos for chunky gold, 20Fr french roosters and swiss helvetia for the fractionals, this will be my strategy to save bucks on premiums 😉
great list I will say my list is a little different but its all a matter of taste, I can deal with the Queen and I like the copper color the Rand has so the Roo is my #1 and the Brit and Rand are #2 and 3 depending on price.
I personally prefer the Canadian Maple over the American Eagle. I’m American AF, btw. It is a toss-up for the No.1 spot between the Maple and the Buffalo. Both are just tits. The Eagle is good, but honestly would not really be in my top five if it weren’t for the recognizability/liquidity attributes. Hell, the Britannia gives it a run for its money. It’s just about quality for me. I wish the US Mint would hear our grievances. And the 24 karat vs 22 affects its beauty.
I guess it depends on you own standpoint, e.g. for me, as a Mexican Citizen, it is easier to stack gold and silver Libertads, because they are relatively readily available for me. None the less, I concur, American Buffalo would be among my top five as well. Other than than, all of those coins have huge premiums in my neck of the woods. So it is more affordable to invest in the local ones.
Krugerrands are known the world over as they were "first" so to speak. Everyone, including the uninitiated, have heard of 'em. Will be far easier to unload (even ahead of the AGE, imho) - for the same return as any other gold coin - if shtf. For sure, Krugs deserve a place in any gold stack. AGE's andtThe Maples too, for the same reason, at least, here in the US. The Britannia is definitely the most appealing visually. The buffalos are, by far, the ugliest of the bunch. I won't buy 'em cuz they cost more than others and are so damn homely. Yeah, I said that. As for what instrument you played; definitely the accordion or the rhythm bones, Ha!
Hey everyone, don’t forget to hit the thumbs up 👍🏻! (Right now it’s only around 10% of you. 😉)
Definitely want to get one of those tree of life coins pretty cool looks like they’re sold out
The way I look at it, the more Chinese gold in American hands, the better.
I always do before I click play!
So From here on out...
We'll be known as "the 10 percenters"???
👍🤠✌️
The top 10 was worth a thumbs up, but the last minute of the video makes me wish I could hit the thumbs up a million times.
In America I'd say the Buffalo then the Eagle. Overall the Britannia wins it for me with the security features and being pure gold. My problem with the gold maple is that the silver maple looks more stunning 🤣
🤫 let's keep them off the scent of the brittania. (The perfect gold for stacking)
I am with you. Brittania is absolutely gorgeous. Not a big fan of the buffalo. Do not see the appeal compared to the detail and security features of the britt
Probably. For sure American Gold Eagle and Buffalo and St Gaudens.
The spanish doubloon caballo has the better security feature.
Love that you aren’t afraid to share your love for the Lord. Subscribed!
If you haven't already can you a video on stacking for fractionals? I'm fond of Mexican 50 pesos(1.20 troy ounces), Austrian and Netherlands 1 Ducats (basically 1/9th troy ounce 3.494 0.1107 ozt but its getting harder and harder to find Netherland ducats and proofs.
50 peso is an awesome coin. Hefty in hand and beautiful. 20 peso is also nice.
Britannia takes #1 for me. 24k gold and the 2022 security features make it the most trustworthy coin out there.
Love the Britannias.
I’m 100% with you for the same reasons also the premiums are too high on US coins.

My favorite gold coins are the ones I can get the best deal on. I look at weight and purity and ignore the fanfare.

Bought my first gold buffalo a couple hours before this video came out....looks like I made a good choice.
That was my first gold purchase as well. I chose an Eagle next, then a Britannia.

I love the Austrian Philharmonic!!! Lovely sentimental design….Austria is beautiful!!! Go visit!!
Brittania maple #1 and #2 for me. 24k Gold, better security features, and lower premium..

I agree with your top 5 picks, but I would NEVER consider a chinese-made coin.
Just one. Part of my world mint tour.
And it means one less ounce of gold for them! 😆
Best for stacking? Which ever you can get for the lowest premium. Personally love the Brittania. Stunning coin.
The premium on a Brittiania is $65.00 where the Eagle is $140.00 and the the Buffalo is $128.00. My money is on the Brittiania.
In east Europe:
1. The Australian Kangaroo
2. The Wiener Philharmoniker
3. Britannia
4. The Maple leaf
5. The Krügerrand
6. The Sovereign
The Buffalo and Eagle are bad idea here especially in my country.
What you said about China from political perspective, totally the same goes for the Usa government and the usa embassies which are trying desperately to interfere politically in every single country here in Europe in the worst possible way.
So as you see, the coin has other side too,but hey.....no matter what,

My fav is krugerrand maple and buffaloes. I love these in gold
I just purchased my first 1 oz gold coin last week. I went with a Buffalo and I’m glad I did. Take care yankee
The Britannia is stunning and no other coin comes close to it. The beautiful image of Her Majesty the Queen adds to its perfection.
I got the one with charles
The image of the Queen is indeed very beautiful. However it's no longer being minted. We now have King Charles III and it looks like his face is melting.
For stackers in the USA, the Maples, Krugerrands, and Libertads have 1099-B IRS reporting requirements when 25 troy ounces are bought from or sold to a bullion dealer in a single transaction. The Eagles, Buffalos, Philharmonics, Britannias, Perth Mint coins, and even the Pandas are exempt from reporting. This is something people should be aware of before choosing a gold stacking target. I did not know this when I started stacking in 1999 and chose to stack Maples exclusively.

So, if this is your "top ten", how the fuck does a CCP "gold" round/coin even show up?
Trudeau really sucks, I would have to pass. Even though it looks beautiful
The Eagle and Krugerrand are 22carat gold and as such they are taxed by countries such as Canada or Singapore. However 24 carat coins are not.
Valcambi combibar in gold? Or maple leaf, or Buffalo? Only 24k for me
Nice gold coins but for me the best gold coin is the Mexican gold coin 50 pesos centenario..
Couldn't agree more 😍
Design, size and premium advocate for them 🔥
Best Queen that ever lived.I like Queen Elizabeth’s head on the coin.History,one day they’ll be worth more.

That you even have a chinese coin in the top ten and bad mouth the queen when she's down... smh
Maybe it’s just me, but I like the color of the Krugerrand the most with the Eagles coming in close at second.

I would’ve placed the 1. Buffalo, 2. Maple, 3. Britannia, 4. Eagle
The Krugerrand stock much better for bullion
I only buy my Libertads in Mexico. Banco Azteca and premiums are much less.
curious your thoughts on the Austria 100 Corona coin, it's 0.98oz and is usually found for sale at within $25 from spot price in BU condition.
Good choices. The Kuegerand was my first one ounce coin. Too much copper even though it still has one ounce of gold. The American Gold buffalo is a modern day classic that truly captures the American spirit. That's my number one as well
When is the monsterbox giveaway date?
Sweepstakes ends December 31, 2022. The winner will be notified the week of January 17, 2023
If the BU pre33 are on sale, they are a good choice.
But be careful who you are buying from…….do not trust the dealers’ grading if you can’t see it in person. I will never buy graded pre 1933 from SD ever again. I was super disappointed.
I bet you used to play the ukulele didn’t you?
I started with Krugerrands, then Buffalos, then Britannias & Maples, then got a screaming deal on some Philharmonics. Thereafter, the rest of my gold stack has been all Buffalos. Just couldn't beat the premiums at the time and they felt good in the hand.
Love it that your not a shame of our lord Jesus.
You should have included the Spanish Doubloon. Now the 2023 version is the Caballo (Lince 2021 and Toro 2022). An ounce coin with the quadruple image security system. I believe that today a gold coin that does not have an anti-counterfeiting system is outdated.
10 - Chinese Panda cz they're not in troy ounces, 9 - Libertads cz they're so expensive, 8 - Kruggerrand cz they're taxable in my country, 7 - Eagle cz they're taxable in my country, 6 - Pre 33 cz they're taxable in my country, 5 - Australian, 4 - Austrian, 3 - Buffalo, 2 - Britannia, 1 - Maple Leaf
I would flip #1 and #2 personally. The buffalo is beautiful but just isn't as popular and I always consider how well they will sell if it ever comes to that. However, I know that you don't ever plan to sell and neither do I but you never know. Now the buffalo will sell but I think there is more interest in the AGE. Thanks Yankee...great video!
Trumpet - I kinda ding the Kugs
I absolutely love silver and gold maples. My favorite bullion coin.
I too hate the Canadian government but I sure do love the maple leafs and the silver RCM bars
meh i love my pandas but still hate communists
What about the St. Guadian???
Nice ranking. I personally don´t care what´s on the coin but what´s inside. And: I am not a huge fan of PRC, but if you can get gold pandas near melt value, buy them. Some of them (especially from the 90s) got some very high premiums.
Gold bars over gold coins ALL DAY EVERY DAY.
@@jamesdoe3713 get a life. Dont buy from eBay…
Goin coins are faked more than bars.🥸
I just bought a 1 ounce gold coin from the South Africa Mint via SD Bullion that was cheaper than a 1 ounce gold bar! 😊
Actually, they originally had RCM bars on sale for about $10 cheaper. I think they sold out.
You play a tiny violin, for all the people crying about your list.
😂😂😂
for stacking ? would be the cheapest period. for collecting? whole different thing

@@YankeeStacking yea well i am a collector and mainly silver at that. have very little gold...
Kruger not a s tier???
You played the trombone??🤷♀️😉
Wait til we see the streets of gold lining the heavenly streets!! 🙏🤟😍
Glad I stuck around until the end. Always makes me happy to hear a TH-camr proclaim Christ.
So any, gold is gold.
For me it's the 50 pesos, Canadian maple, buffalo and the gold eagle......just in that order 👍 😎
Glad to see the Centenario being mentioned. My favourite coin by far, and quite popular here in France, plus it's the lowest premium "large" gold coin (just after Austria's 100 Corona, which is way less popular). 50 Pesos for chunky gold, 20Fr french roosters and swiss helvetia for the fractionals, this will be my strategy to save bucks on premiums 😉
Flute.
Nice list, I agree with the Buffalo being at the top.
U play. The flute
Britannias are the best in my opinion
Yankee seems like a Tuba player, lol
Buffalo, eagle, maple, Pre-33. Everything else is just 🤷🏻♂️ why waste your time.
great list I will say my list is a little different but its all a matter of taste, I can deal with the Queen and I like the copper color the Rand has so the Roo is my #1 and the Brit and Rand are #2 and 3 depending on price.
I personally prefer the Canadian Maple over the American Eagle. I’m American AF, btw. It is a toss-up for the No.1 spot between the Maple and the Buffalo. Both are just tits. The Eagle is good, but honestly would not really be in my top five if it weren’t for the recognizability/liquidity attributes. Hell, the Britannia gives it a run for its money. It’s just about quality for me. I wish the US Mint would hear our grievances. And the 24 karat vs 22 affects its beauty.
I guess it depends on you own standpoint, e.g. for me, as a Mexican Citizen, it is easier to stack gold and silver Libertads, because they are relatively readily available for me. None the less, I concur, American Buffalo would be among my top five as well. Other than than, all of those coins have huge premiums in my neck of the woods. So it is more affordable to invest in the local ones.
Krugerrands are known the world over as they were "first" so to speak. Everyone, including the uninitiated, have heard of 'em. Will be far easier to unload (even ahead of the AGE, imho) - for the same return as any other gold coin - if shtf. For sure, Krugs deserve a place in any gold stack. AGE's andtThe Maples too, for the same reason, at least, here in the US. The Britannia is definitely the most appealing visually. The buffalos are, by far, the ugliest of the bunch. I won't buy 'em cuz they cost more than others and are so damn homely. Yeah, I said that. As for what instrument you played; definitely the accordion or the rhythm bones, Ha!
