I haven't heard of counterfeit buffalos! Are they made of real gold with just the design being counterfeited?

I prefer Eagles, but my next purchase will be a Buffalo just because I'd like to have one to hold and look at.

I love both coins, but my preference on purely esthetic grounds is the gold Buffalo. I absolutely LOVE that design, but I do agree that the Gold American Eagle does have the minor advantages mentioned in the video. I have held both in hand and just enjoyed the look and feel of the Buffalo a wee bit more. Such a fabulous bullion coin and a great tribute to the classic Buffalo Nickel!

Buffalos are beautiful. The color of the metal and the design are just awesome. Then again the gold eagle is much more sturdy so you can hold it in your hand without a capsule. I say get some of each.

Have to say the Buffalo slightly edges out the AGE because of its 24kt composition and better overall look.I have found that traveling internationally with these and selling that they are top tier and highly desirable, always gotten well above what I pay when sold abroad

i really want the mint to make 1/4oz gold buffalos again. though i'd like to see them in the gold eagle composition.

1/4oz gold buffalos & other fractionals were so unpopular they discontinued minting them same as the Platium Eagles

Another good point of conversation here is the pros/cons to finishes available, proof /reverse proof/ uncirculated/ burnished etc.

I wish the mint would make at least a 1/2 oz Buffalo as well. I'd even like a 1/4 oz too. :)

They did this in 2008, but these are collectible and very costly.

I like both but depends on the premium or if one of them is on sale. Last gold i bought was a Buffalo in April from online bullion dealer that ended up being slabbed (NGC MS69).

well i bought a 2014 Canadian 1/10th ounce 5 blessings this month and i couldn't be happier with it oh and it's .9999 they didn't have any eagles they had this, a maple, and a krug but i had to get this one cause i'd never seen it before there's also only 2000 minted

“Because four nines.” I can’t believe you said that. Jesus. What don’t you understand? The Eagle contains one ounce of 24k JUST LIKE the Buffalo. The Eagle has **additional** weight in the form of the small amount of silver-copper alloy to increase durability, but it has the same amount of gold.

I just started a tube of Gold Eagles, there is no turning back now!

When I started buying gold over a decade ago, both Eagles and Buffalos were going for $80 to $100 over spot while anybody with a slightly creative mind could buy Maples for $40 to $50 under spot (yes under). I could never justify the premium for either US coin but still bought some along the way when they (rarely) went on sale and the premium was more in line with other coins.

I like the Brittanica and Maple Leaf for their security features.

Hello Speg , I hope you are having a super excellent weekend , pure gold is always the best where I live , any gold that’s not pure in Australia incurs extra GST tax , if I lived in America I would pick the eagle 👍

Super helpful, thanks!

I collect both the Eagle and Buffalo’s 7 and 7 (plus 7 oz of fractional ✊)

I like both, but its buffalo for me. I see it as if I'm trying to barter or sell it to someone who's unfamiliar with the two, one would be more hessitant to take the not pure vs pure. But then, you can explain to them that the eagle has more metal value with silver and copper added 🤔 I just like to keep it simple.

Eagle. , because its sexier. Just not a fan of design, in silver either.

They are both beautiful coins but I personally like the Buffalo design the best. If they'd use the original St. Gaudens design my opinion would be different but I don't see that happening. It's funny that some folks don't think there's as much gold in an Eagle. I've encountered that too and I have no idea what these people are thinking

What is the weight of both coins

Question: Is there any difference in the premium between a proof buffalo or eagle verses they typical business strike?

@cc-nt5pl

8 ай бұрын

Yes, slightly pricier for proofs.

People are still not getting that the Eagle actually **weighs more** than the Buffalo because of the added copper-silver alloy. That is why it can contain an ounce of pure 24k gold even the though the coin is 22k. Also, the purpose of the added alloy is to greatly increase the **durability** of the coin-that’s the primary reason it is there, not to change the color or to act as a counterfeit deterrent.

I am new to stacking but please address these two questions: 1. When the Eagle and the Buffalo are put on a good quality scale, Is there any weight difference between the two? I suspect the Eagle to actually weigh a little more than the Buffalo, which might make the Eagles posses the full 1oz of 24k gold if melted down. 🤞 2. Regarding the $50 Gold denomination of the Eagle vs the $1 denomination of the Silver Eagle. I know the Gold to Silver ratio changes, but could 50:1 Silver to Gold ratio be the intended nominal/rational/natural ratio between the two metals? I recently bought two 1oz Gold Eagles. I am kinda wishing now I would have purchased one of each. Great video, Thanks.

They are both great. I kind of prefer Buffalos just because of the purity, 24K. Prefer Cana Maples over Eagles for the same reason.

Here's my vote: 22 - American Gold Buffalos 3 - American Gold Eagles Love the Buffalos but will probably add some more Eagles down the road.

The gold Canadian 🍁 Mapleleaf has both , security and purity 🤔

I've been a gold bar guy except for a couple maples. But I think I'm gonna buy a buffalo

jm bullion is one company who openly posts buy-back prices and the spread is smaller on the gold eagle, larger on the buffalo. Right now the eagle would be the better of the two.

Eagle also more durable and less likely to dent if you drop it

buffalo is the way to go.....

Easy question - the gold maple 😎

The Buffalo are beautiful

The composition of the American eagles are for durability. Its not as soft as the buffalo because of the copper within. Both are beautiful coins.

31.103 gs of AU is a troy ounce. They are the same, with the exception of Soegs couple coins. Bullion round vs. a numismatic round. Second the hardness of the eagle due tonthe added copper gives it a harder finished gold oroduct and ultimately less easily damaged. Love the videos Speg!!!
