Just getting into this. As a Canadian, the Maples just make the most sense for me - and they sure are beautiful! Bought 3 x 1oz 2022 last weekend and will be buying 4 more in short order. Fractionals are attractive for a number of reasons (1/4oz would be my pick) but I can't get past the extra premium, so I'll be sticking with OZ.
Fellow Canadian here also wanting to get some metals for back up. Did you by your 1oz golds from the mint??? I was looking on their website and they are asking 4300.00 for a 1oz coin???? I'm soo confused, that seems like theft....
I own more canadian coins as an american than I do american coins. The quality is hands down better and I enjoy all the different series, it helps spice up the stack.
Wow! Have been watching your channel for a while now and can really see how it has developed over time. It’s now has a much more polished and structured script that is more enjoyable to watch/listen too.
I Started binge watching some of your old videos and they’re just as impressive as your latest ones. It’s an interesting perspective to see how much has change a year ago. With the pandemic and what not. Just a thought. It would be pretty cool to do a now and then video on how gold prices have changed and where they’re going. I think right around the time you posted this video I was buying my first gold coin. I wish I would have found your videos sooner.
I like the maples, I think you're right for fractional 1/4 pieces if you need barter or long term wealth preservation but can't afford to buy full 1 oz to start.
I'm about to make my first precious metals purchase: a 1/4 ounce Golden Maple Leaf! the premium is around 13% over spot, but that is as good or better than I can find about anything right now. Thanks so much for putting out this content! I have learned a lot from your channel, and I know I'm not the only one.
Fractional gold Buffalos. 1/10, 1/4, and 1/2 . All from 2008 W , proof and BU . Beyond a doubt, these pieces are what every investor or modern coin collector is a must-own set of pieces! Thanks for the video .
I'm with you, I'm just not a fan of the design of the AGE or ASE. Also don't like the "copper" color. Love the Buffalo, Maples, and Kangaroos. 1/4 oz Buffalo would be outstanding!
Just happened along on to your video. Must say that I am a Silver stacker, and for a couple of reasons. First, the affordable price (for most of us middle class workers), and second for the possibilities of larger returns (than Gold). Don’ t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE Gold. As a matter of fact, I too agree with your view that the Canadian Maple is far superior (looks-wise) to the Buffalo and Eagle. Also love that it’s 24kt pure Gold, without the dirty Copper content. Eagles sometimes get red spots on them, from the Copper...yuk. Now that I found your channel, I’m subbing in order to watch more Gold content. I really want to start adding some Gold to my stack, which I’m building for my Son (and his future). Prices are a bit too high right now, but hopefully they will return to a more reasonable buying price. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy watching yours, and add some cheap Silver (when it’s on sale). Thanks for the Gold show...love it.
Victor Frankenstein thanks for watching! Silver is fun, and any discipline I have now to buy and save gold I built by buying silver. I’m going to keep picking up precious metals even though I feel a correction coming. My primary goal is to give it to my kids too, so it’s not all pure logic for me.
I just bought a Gold 1oz Canadian "call of the wild" coin with a Growling Cougar! Love it. I may look for the Bear version too. The 2nd edition AGE looks awsome, but I can wait.
Nice pick ups man, funny I saw your comment because I'm purchasing the 2014 "call of the wild" 1oz howling wolf gold coin this month. The bear and cougar are my other favorites. Of that series.
Love the video great content love when you show all of the different gold coin together it really gives you an idea how they would look like if you had it in your hands
I love your videos , contents. Keep them coming .my favorites Gold Buffaloes and the maples I like to stick with 999.9 !eagles are ok too 👍 thank you sir
The shop owner shouted out loud (most likely on purpose ) that gold was going down in price the following day because he wanted customers to unload their gold to him so he would make a killing. Think opposite of what shop owners say. If they say gold price is going up they want people to buy their gold. If they say gold is going down they want customers to unload their gold. Remember they are there to make money, not there to make money for you.
Yeah agreed. We have a good coin shop close to us - they are as professional as can be. I’ll buy from (good convenient place that is 1st class) them but won’t sell to them. They want to double end. Good for buying but not selling. Who really wants to sell assets anyway? Buy and hold.
I enjoy the older design gold maples myself and I love the coin fields of the buffalo. Long neck liz is a definite want for me. When's the next video 😂🤣
Hi, Just stumbled on your channel . Pretty cool!!! I'm retired and don't have a lot of disposable income to spend on my many interest. Love gold, have six ounces and hope to get a 2021 gold 1 oz. Mapleleaf with in the next month. However, I'm not bored with silver, got a bad silver monkey on my back. Proplem is my other interest. I have an affinity for things that go BANG. Love everything from .22 long guns to AR's, Snub nose to Dirty Harry's, old WWII pistols to Glocks. Then there's my interest in cooking, right now I'm teaching myself Jamaican food. That jerk chicken is irie, mon. It's very tiring to be retired...
Got bored too so I bought some Morgan’s, Peace Dollars and a couple Pre33 $20 gold pieces. The history was my motivation. It’s what I call historical constitutional gold and silver. I looked up what happened in the year of those coins... 1896, 1900, 1921, 1925 etc. It’s more fun.
Thank u for showing the maple I haven’t bought any 1 oz coins yet in gold because for me it’s a big purchase. I do have some fractional gold however but I’m workin up to a 1 oz. I’m super new. My thing with the American gold 1 oz is that it’s NOT 999 even and that bugs me. I’m leaning more and more towards the maple for its purity and beauty. I really like it plus I trust the RCM
I think we have similar stacking styles. My ultimate goal for a stack is a few ounces each of the AGE, newer maples (with radial lines), buffalos, and Krugerrands. The eagles and maples are the best for getting fractional sizes. Ive seen buffalos as fractional but they are wayyy overpriced. My local coin guy has said the same about buffalos being the mist desirable. I actually like the eagles they way they are now, I’m eager to see how the new ones will look but Im sure it will be a lot different.
Lewis I appreciate the comment! It definitely sounds similar. I don’t go for Krugs, but it probably won’t be long before I start straying from the buffalos, eagles and maples again.
2 is 1 what would you being going to? I’m curious since I want to stay varied a bit. Just avoid Austrian 100 Corona and Hungarian 100 Korona restrikes, they were a nightmare for me trying to get rid of. My local coin guy actually refused to buy them! I liked them bc they were close to 1 oz (0.98 oz) and I could get them for under spot, but I am avoiding odd weights now 🤣
I am new to coins..bought several silver maples and Eagles about a month ago before silver went nuts, silver Eagles are now double spot price...so now that silver has went up after doing the math 1 oz gold has a lower premium than silver so today I bought my first buffalo waiting to receive it..comparing siler Eagles to Siver Maples I have noticd how much shinier the Canadian coins are ..I can only imagine the gold ones are just as shiny ..just curious why..Eagles are somewhat dull in comparison even your Buffalo you can tell is't even close to the Maple in shine
I have several CRK's.. I think I'll keep my one favourite, sell the rest and start buying 1/4's, 1/2's and maybe an Oz. I'm from OZ so will be a kangaroo. Great advice from this channel. Thank you!
I bought 10 of these. Order said it's a tube of 10 coins. Called them back the next day to see if they could send coin capsules x10. I had bought one a few weeks before, which came in a nice capsule with a black circumference. Man were they grumpy when I asked for capsules. I asked for a specific one and they were being rude and cheap. I'll take my business elsewhere in the future
I love silver. But I get to a point where I need to swap silver for gold. You can carry a years worth of gold in your pocket, silver would be a backpack
You've mentioned modern security features in passing (i.e., hoping the 2021 Eagle re-design follows the Canadian Maple and Britannia). But how much do you care about these features? Do you think it could affect the future liquidity of your favored pre-2021 Gold Eagles, which lack such features? Maybe a better question: how much do securities features matter in gold when there is no numismatic value involved and presumably the gold itself can be easily tested? Alas, Wikipedia doesn't even mention the change of adding radial lines in 2015, and laser security mark in 2014 (?). Radial lines especially make it a much more attractive coin!
I don’t think the pre-2021 design change will be negatively impacted in a sale to a dealer, but you can see price differences on the Maples with or without the privy mark and again with or without the radial lines. I agree that they look much nicer with the lines. Cheers!
I think 1/4 ounce is great for the American Eagles, but I would like to have the Gold Buffalo in 1/4 ounce s. And unfortunately they don't make it. But I really love to have the 1 oz Gold Buffalos, rather than the 1 oz American Eagles. Because they have a much better look than the American Eagles.
Hi, I love your channel, like you I collect gold Buffalo’s!, What’s your thoughts about the krugerrand and the Britannia gold bullion coins? Thanks again Keep up the good work. Happy new year 2023.
Watching this a year plus after you made but, I like the eagles and the maples. Maples more than eagles, but the eagles are just so well known in America and are so liquid, It’s hard not to want them. My favorite are the 10th Oz gold eagles, I don’t know why but I love them, up to 25 now! I don’t have any buffalos and not sure when or if I’d buy them. I also get 1, 10th Oz gold kangaroo every year, I think I have the last 10 years of them, fan of them too. Want to get a tube of 1 Oz gold eagles and a tube of 1 Oz gold maples. As a goal. I’m pretty heavy silver and always think about when to trade up and reallocate my gold and silver holding. Oh and I’m converted to most everything titanium in my backpacking gear and I found a company that makes all kinds of cool titanium stuff, pens, razor knife dispensers … love that stuff too!
I finished my roll of gold maples. Now I am working on Britannias and Buffalos for fun. I can't see filling 20 buffalos anytime soon though lol. Maybe Britannias if 2021 goes well,
thanks for this nice video, just wondering, if we collect these gold coin, when the time we need cash, where can we sell it ? or where will be the best place to sell these gold coins for cash, does anyone know ? thanks
Watching your video today I had to get out my 1 ounce gold Maple and look at it again... I keep trying to appreciate it's beauty, but then I look at the Queen without a crown and, well, it just seems wrong... Doesn't a Monarch need to be depicted wearing a crown?.... and it's the same with all the recent years Canadian coins... My gold Maple is 2017 and it was amoungst my very first purchase of precious metals... I would trade it in a heartbeat for something more beautiful... Alas... I think I am stuck with it... I dream of one day owning a gold buffalo though... one day.... Especially when buying gold, I want my coins to be beautiful to look at. To date, my most beautiful 1 ounce gold is the 2020 Perth Mint rectangle double dragon that has amazing detail and almost a high relief look to it. Second is my 1 ounce 2019 Perth Mint rectangle dragon coin, and on the Obverse, the Queen does wear a beautiful crown... I also love the Queen's beast series that I have all of in gold and silver... the final one will be released in September... I only started to buy the smaller fractionals in gold this year and picked up ten of 1/10th ounce mini-bars Canadian... so cute! I also love the Mexican Pesos coins in gold and have some of those in earrings and rings.
Dakiniwoman the Isle of Man 1oz Gold Angel is the best-looking gold coin I’ve ever seen. Elizabeth has a crown and all. 🙂 APMEX has them in stock right now, but I’m still buying Buffalos, Eagles and Maples instead. They have more value to me because of their liquidity in the States.
I took a tour of the Canadian Royal Mint in 2018, and on the tour the guide explained that the Queen wanted to drop her crown to look more ordinary to the people, to look more with the modern times. But I agree with you about the crown, she should keep the crown.
@@2is1gold Yes, I love all the Isle of Man coins but I never see them available in Canada. Apmex is not an option for me because of the high import fees... I found that out the hard way.
@@gordonwbell I think they told you a BS story there... No other Country has the Queen without a crow on their coins... Canada is the only one and it jus simply looks stupid and not even a good rendition of her.
people falsely think 22k means the gold in American eagle has less gold. American eagle (1.0909 oz ) is heavier than Buffalo (1oz). Buffalo is 1oz gold + 0 copper +0 silver. while American Eagle is 1oz Gold + extra silver +extra copper. let's go extreme. if someone gives a 2oz coin with 1oz gold and 1 oz sliver mix, you can say it is only 50% purity and 12K gold coin. but will this 12K coin value 2-ounce coin less than 1 ounce 9999 gold coin? . the answer is no. Purity only works when both coins have THE SAME WEIGHT and therefore, the gold is less than others if not pure.
The original idea of purity is to prevent cheating. Like, I pay the same amount of USD but get less gold due to the purity issues. It doesn't exist here. US gov knows for circulating purpose, coin can't be too soft, so they add silver and copper to make coin harder. Meanwhile, they don't want people to think it contains less gold due to purity, therefore, they make the eagle coin heavier so that the coin still have 1-ounce gold .
Here in the uk is similar with the Sovereigns but the liquidity is good for them in UK. The only other issue I was reading some countries (New Zealand for eg) tax differently if the metal is less than 9999
Just to Say that your content is awesome and your research too. Can you tell us about to buy these rare coins that US mints launches timely with such high premiums for investors. Or we should stick to Gold's intrinsic value coins not on thier historic or any other importance can u clarify?
The AGE needs to be 24kt .9999 pure so it doesn’t look like a high end copper round. That’s why I like the Maples, I like the purity. Got a .99999 1/10th Canadian Cougar coming in.
Don't you worry about talking about GOLD I love the gold channels and your right they are a little harder to find. Is the american eagle the most sold gold coin because it is the most popular or is it simply demographics. The population of the USA is quite large compared to my little country. Same with Britain or Australia. Things that make you go HMMMM. Speaking of which you should try out a gold Australian mint coin your choice. They are almost creamy a little larger thou than my maple.
Interesting, but I suppose it makes sense. I’ve rarely seen Buffalos on the shelves at local coin shops here. They move too fast on the secondary market. Maples are probably the third most popular coin here and move a little more slowly.
I have got my 2 maple coins and tehy are so nice feel nice in hand..... I love them hard to believe I paid 1500 euro for 50 dollars in gold ahhaha............I dream about 8 coins more with leaf, and then 5 pandas, and 5 kangoorus
do dealers pay you a premium back when selling coins like the maple leaf, AGE, buffalo or do they give you almost spot? Just curious, if almost spot, what difference does it make which one you get they are all 1oz gold. Is it a popularity contest on which coin gets most premium? Thank you! I want the maple leaf, it has much less premium than the AGE and buffalo. I want to stack and eventually sell
The local coin shops I’m familiar with will give a small premium for Eagles, spot for Buffalos and 95 - 99% of spot for Maples. It’s a bit of a popularity contest - Eagles are just incredibly liquid in the U.S..
Ok Thought about this a lot at first I was if gold goes so will silver too but now! No way silver is going above 50 it's important for industry. they won't let it happen.
I like the Buffalo too - I have more of them any any other coin. Beauty is so subjective, though. A lot of people would say the Gold Philharmonic is the best-looking coin (and I wouldn't agree). I haven't been buying Krugs. They've been around since 1967, so there are more of them out than any other coin, but I find popularity and demand vary by region. If the South African Mint released a short run of 24K Krugs, I'd be first in line. Thanks for watching!
great video...i have 7 mapleleaf gold coins that i wanna sell...would it be best for me to go to a local goldbuyer to sell them ? first time ever selling this stuff...i live in Canada and the rate they offer me is 2215.00 per coin ( Canadian ) ...is that good ? thx
If I’m converting the currency, correctly, that’s about spot price. That is t great and timing isn’t great either since the spot price just dropped on Friday. You can probably do better by selling to a private buyer and/or waiting.
Silver is for the bullets I use to shoot the vampires trying to steal my .. G O L D I love my Maples and I love my buffalos. I'm going to melt 5 each and have a 10oz coin with the face of the coin being a herd of buffalo running through a maple tree Forest.. The reverse will be a silver Miner sitting on a buffalo standing underneath a maple tree.. ( with a noose around his neck tied to the maple tree ) I don't hate silver When I was growing up I didn't watch movies where the bad guy rode off into the sunset with his saddlebags full of silver dollars
The only thing I don't like about the Maple is the caricature looking Queen, if they would've used the picture of the Queen from the brittania it would have looked much better
@@hugostiglitz4215 I’m trying to knock out a Buffalo tube, so that has my focus. I’d be looking at Eagles, Britannias and Maples otherwise. I’m looking forward to the Lunar Tiger coming out early next month, though.

I prefer Eagles and Buffalos too, but Maples are a great way to get some variety.

That maple is sparkling through my soul! I don't care fuck the gold eagle I'm buying the maple.

I'm from OZ so will be a kangaroo. Great advice from this channel. Thank you!
I love SILVER! GOLD is GREAT too! Also, I like .357 as well. Ruger, Smith & Wesson, and Colt!!!
Terrific looking Gold Stack!
Florida Stacker hey thanks, FS! I found your channel shortly after posting this video and have been following along!
Definitely love the privy mark of the newer maples.
Love the channel man glad I came over!
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad you came over too!
2 is 1 absolutely!!
Maples are my favourite
I bought 10 of these. Order said it's a tube of 10 coins. Called them back the next day to see if they could send coin capsules x10. I had bought one a few weeks before, which came in a nice capsule with a black circumference. Man were they grumpy when I asked for capsules. I asked for a specific one and they were being rude and cheap. I'll take my business elsewhere in the future
I love silver. But I get to a point where I need to swap silver for gold. You can carry a years worth of gold in your pocket, silver would be a backpack
Or a wheelbarrow!
You've mentioned modern security features in passing (i.e., hoping the 2021 Eagle re-design follows the Canadian Maple and Britannia). But how much do you care about these features? Do you think it could affect the future liquidity of your favored pre-2021 Gold Eagles, which lack such features? Maybe a better question: how much do securities features matter in gold when there is no numismatic value involved and presumably the gold itself can be easily tested?
Alas, Wikipedia doesn't even mention the change of adding radial lines in 2015, and laser security mark in 2014 (?). Radial lines especially make it a much more attractive coin!
I don’t think the pre-2021 design change will be negatively impacted in a sale to a dealer, but you can see price differences on the Maples with or without the privy mark and again with or without the radial lines. I agree that they look much nicer with the lines. Cheers!
Surprised initially when I got into good that Americans love the maple so much. Coolsies.
I think 1/4 ounce is great for the American Eagles, but I would like to have the Gold Buffalo in 1/4 ounce s. And unfortunately they don't make it. But I really love to have the 1 oz Gold Buffalos, rather than the 1 oz American Eagles. Because they have a much better look than the American Eagles.
Nice coins those! Just came across your channel and sub'd. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
I appreciate the Gold videos
Hi, I love your channel, like you I collect gold Buffalo’s!,
What’s your thoughts about the krugerrand and the Britannia gold bullion coins?
Thanks again
Keep up the good work.
Happy new year 2023.
Both are great. I don’t stack them because I have a few I think edge them out, but you can’t go wrong with them. Cheers!
Great video. Who doesnt love these coins.
Couldn't agree more!
Where did u find those cases for ur coins?
Do they make direct fit capsules for the 1oz gold maple leafs?
They do: amzn.to/3pYmLoO
Watching this a year plus after you made but, I like the eagles and the maples. Maples more than eagles, but the eagles are just so well known in America and are so liquid, It’s hard not to want them. My favorite are the 10th Oz gold eagles, I don’t know why but I love them, up to 25 now! I don’t have any buffalos and not sure when or if I’d buy them. I also get 1, 10th Oz gold kangaroo every year, I think I have the last 10 years of them, fan of them too. Want to get a tube of 1 Oz gold eagles and a tube of 1 Oz gold maples. As a goal. I’m pretty heavy silver and always think about when to trade up and reallocate my gold and silver holding. Oh and I’m converted to most everything titanium in my backpacking gear and I found a company that makes all kinds of cool titanium stuff, pens, razor knife dispensers … love that stuff too!
I might trade a few small coins for the big 1oz gold myself lol. I always wanted a big coin
I do that too! 😀
What's the value of a 1oz maple gold coin?
Spot price plus 4 - 6% right now.
I finished my roll of gold maples. Now I am working on Britannias and Buffalos for fun. I can't see filling 20 buffalos anytime soon though lol. Maybe Britannias if 2021 goes well,
That’s awesome. I’m working on a tube of Buffalos now. Do you focus on one at a time, or go back and forth?
Have you seen the 25g fractionals maples that come in 1grams in a card format? Are they radial dialed ?
The Gold Maple Leaf, Sheesh!!!
I'm new to this but I really like the gold britannia
Good-looking coins!
Especially the new 2021 with cool security features.
I just bought my first one ounce coin, it's an eagle and I'm working on my next coin and can't decide on maple or buffalo! What to do!
Hard to go wrong with either. I’d go for the Buffalo, personally, (particularly here in the U.S.) but they’re both great.
I have both. Get both. Def a lot of peoples tops.
Love all gold.💰
💯
I’m about to buy my first 1oz gold coin and stuck between the maple leaf and American Buffalo
Both are very nice.
thanks for this nice video, just wondering, if we collect these gold coin, when the time we need cash, where can we sell it ? or where will be the best place to sell these gold coins for cash, does anyone know ? thanks
Watching your video today I had to get out my 1 ounce gold Maple and look at it again... I keep trying to appreciate it's beauty, but then I look at the Queen without a crown and, well, it just seems wrong... Doesn't a Monarch need to be depicted wearing a crown?.... and it's the same with all the recent years Canadian coins... My gold Maple is 2017 and it was amoungst my very first purchase of precious metals... I would trade it in a heartbeat for something more beautiful... Alas... I think I am stuck with it... I dream of one day owning a gold buffalo though... one day.... Especially when buying gold, I want my coins to be beautiful to look at. To date, my most beautiful 1 ounce gold is the 2020 Perth Mint rectangle double dragon that has amazing detail and almost a high relief look to it. Second is my 1 ounce 2019 Perth Mint rectangle dragon coin, and on the Obverse, the Queen does wear a beautiful crown... I also love the Queen's beast series that I have all of in gold and silver... the final one will be released in September... I only started to buy the smaller fractionals in gold this year and picked up ten of 1/10th ounce mini-bars Canadian... so cute! I also love the Mexican Pesos coins in gold and have some of those in earrings and rings.
Dakiniwoman the Isle of Man 1oz Gold Angel is the best-looking gold coin I’ve ever seen. Elizabeth has a crown and all. 🙂 APMEX has them in stock right now, but I’m still buying Buffalos, Eagles and Maples instead. They have more value to me because of their liquidity in the States.
@@2is1gold thanks... I only wish I could take advantage of APMEX deals but the cost of importing to Canada is just too much.
I took a tour of the Canadian Royal Mint in 2018, and on the tour the guide explained that the Queen wanted to drop her crown to look more ordinary to the people, to look more with the modern times. But I agree with you about the crown, she should keep the crown.
@@2is1gold Yes, I love all the Isle of Man coins but I never see them available in Canada. Apmex is not an option for me because of the high import fees... I found that out the hard way.
@@gordonwbell I think they told you a BS story there... No other Country has the Queen without a crow on their coins... Canada is the only one and it jus simply looks stupid and not even a good rendition of her.
I don’t like the American Eagle only because it’s 22 ^ gold I really like 24 ^ gold👍
Yeah, I've always had a bit of an aversion to 22kt. Krugerrands are even worse!
people falsely think 22k means the gold in American eagle has less gold. American eagle (1.0909 oz ) is heavier than Buffalo (1oz). Buffalo is 1oz gold + 0 copper +0 silver. while American Eagle is 1oz Gold + extra silver +extra copper. let's go extreme. if someone gives a 2oz coin with 1oz gold and 1 oz sliver mix, you can say it is only 50% purity and 12K gold coin. but will this 12K coin value 2-ounce coin less than 1 ounce 9999 gold coin? . the answer is no. Purity only works when both coins have THE SAME WEIGHT and therefore, the gold is less than others if not pure.
goodsummitguy Thank you for cleaning that up for me 👍
The original idea of purity is to prevent cheating. Like, I pay the same amount of USD but get less gold due to the purity issues. It doesn't exist here. US gov knows for circulating purpose, coin can't be too soft, so they add silver and copper to make coin harder. Meanwhile, they don't want people to think it contains less gold due to purity, therefore, they make the eagle coin heavier so that the coin still have 1-ounce gold .
Here in the uk is similar with the Sovereigns but the liquidity is good for them in UK. The only other issue I was reading some countries (New Zealand for eg) tax differently if the metal is less than 9999
I like the Eagles. They make some great music.
Just to Say that your content is awesome and your research too. Can you tell us about to buy these rare coins that US mints launches timely with such high premiums for investors. Or we should stick to Gold's intrinsic value coins not on thier historic or any other importance can u clarify?
I’m not big on flipping coins, but I’ll be trying for a 1/2oz End of WWII gold coin tomorrow. Cheers!
The AGE needs to be 24kt .9999 pure so it doesn’t look like a high end copper round. That’s why I like the Maples, I like the purity. Got a .99999 1/10th Canadian Cougar coming in.
Those 5-9's are very cool. I'm afraid I'd scratch them just by looking at them wrong, though. :)
I have a couple of proof AGEs that are are a lot more beautiful than the regular ones, it really makes a difference.
Yeah, those krugs and AGEs don't have that pure-gold-look. I guess that's why they issued maples and buffalos.
I like the Maples
Don't you worry about talking about GOLD I love the gold channels and your right they are a little harder to find. Is the american eagle the most sold gold coin because it is the most popular or is it simply demographics. The population of the USA is quite large compared to my little country. Same with Britain or Australia. Things that make you go HMMMM. Speaking of which you should try out a gold Australian mint coin your choice. They are almost creamy a little larger thou than my maple.
Maple leaf metals “popular” is probably misleading. More have been sold than any other bullion coin and country population definitely is a factor.
Interesting, here in Canada, I can get 2020 Buffalos easier than newer Maples
Interesting, but I suppose it makes sense. I’ve rarely seen Buffalos on the shelves at local coin shops here. They move too fast on the secondary market. Maples are probably the third most popular coin here and move a little more slowly.
I have got my 2 maple coins and tehy are so nice feel nice in hand..... I love them hard to believe I paid 1500 euro for 50 dollars in gold ahhaha............I dream about 8 coins more with leaf, and then 5 pandas, and 5 kangoorus
The Maples are fantastic!
I know this is an older video but i dont think I've seen this specific cap in your other videos where'd you get these ones?
do dealers pay you a premium back when selling coins like the maple leaf, AGE, buffalo or do they give you almost spot? Just curious, if almost spot, what difference does it make which one you get they are all 1oz gold. Is it a popularity contest on which coin gets most premium? Thank you! I want the maple leaf, it has much less premium than the AGE and buffalo. I want to stack and eventually sell
The local coin shops I’m familiar with will give a small premium for Eagles, spot for Buffalos and 95 - 99% of spot for Maples. It’s a bit of a popularity contest - Eagles are just incredibly liquid in the U.S..
@@2is1gold got it, i figured that, thank you so much! was just wondering why there was a price difference between all of these.
How about $5.00 US gold commemoratives. There are some interesting designs and since there’s little demand they can be bought at or close to spot.
Saltwater Saddle Tramp I’ve never come across one at my LCS options, but I’d definitely consider them if I did.
You were so Awkward back then. Very Glad you got comfortable behind the mic.
Ha! I should shut these down! 🤣
Is there a sales tax on these coins? In Norway, coins are exempt, while bars have the standard 25% VAT (yes, that's right, our top VAT rate is 25%!).
Sales tax varies widely, but I don’t have to pay any where I am!
I wanted how can i get it?
What if the store doesn't take it? Can you call the cops? And what if they agree with the store? Can you take it to court and win?
I really have a question, the 1/2 1/4 1/8 maple leafes are good?
1/2, 1/4, and 1/10 are all good.
That big queen head destroys the coin
Sir is it a good time to buy gold or I should hold a bit
I'm buying below $1,850.
whats up with the queen like?
Ok Thought about this a lot at first I was if gold goes so will silver too but now! No way silver is going above 50 it's important for industry. they won't let it happen.
I like the American liberty 225 th 24k
Maple is so nice! Those others look so dull
Jay Tee Canada does it right for sure!
What capsule do you use?
I use Air-tite capsules.
So I guess the big question is when are ya gonna double down and get the mega 1.5 oz leaf??
RCM has a lot of fun stuff. Weird sizes trigger my OCD, though! 😄
I have 14 quarter ounce Maples all 2021. I plan to fill a tube of 20. If the Buffalo came in quarters I would stack them.
The most popular gold coin in the world is the krugerrand, the most beautiful is the American Buffalo 9999.
I like the Buffalo too - I have more of them any any other coin. Beauty is so subjective, though. A lot of people would say the Gold Philharmonic is the best-looking coin (and I wouldn't agree). I haven't been buying Krugs. They've been around since 1967, so there are more of them out than any other coin, but I find popularity and demand vary by region. If the South African Mint released a short run of 24K Krugs, I'd be first in line. Thanks for watching!
Love the gold Maple and the Buffalo.
great video...i have 7 mapleleaf gold coins that i wanna sell...would it be best for me to go to a local goldbuyer to sell them ? first time ever selling this stuff...i live in Canada and the rate they offer me is 2215.00 per coin ( Canadian ) ...is that good ? thx
If I’m converting the currency, correctly, that’s about spot price. That is t great and timing isn’t great either since the spot price just dropped on Friday. You can probably do better by selling to a private buyer and/or waiting.
Silver is for the bullets I use to shoot the vampires trying to steal my ..
G O L D
I love my Maples and I love my buffalos.
I'm going to melt 5 each and have a 10oz coin with the face of the coin being a herd of buffalo running through a maple tree Forest..
The reverse will be a silver Miner sitting on a buffalo standing underneath a maple tree.. ( with a noose around his neck tied to the maple tree )
I don't hate silver
When I was growing up I didn't watch movies where the bad guy rode off into the sunset with his saddlebags full of silver dollars
Ha!
The only thing I don't like about the Maple is the caricature looking Queen, if they would've used the picture of the Queen from the brittania it would have looked much better
Yeah, the Sculpture the Royal Mint uses is nice. Canada’s choice is not. 👵
@@2is1gold What do you think about that Klondike coin, panning for gold, it's a beauty in my opinion, What have you been buying lately
@@hugostiglitz4215 I’m trying to knock out a Buffalo tube, so that has my focus. I’d be looking at Eagles, Britannias and Maples otherwise. I’m looking forward to the Lunar Tiger coming out early next month, though.
i want it please show me the price for meplea 24k
