<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1223292, member: 22143&quot;]One of the most popular bullion coins of all time, The Krugerrand, is minted in coin gold (.917) and has been that way since it was introduced in the 1960s.&nbsp; Go outside the USA and this is the most held investment coin in the world.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is a very practical reason for coin gold (.917).&nbsp; It makes the metal hard enough so there isn&#039;t damage from handling.&nbsp; Keep in mind that I am not talking proof coins as that is a completely different topic.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The 24 karat gold coin did not show up until the Canadians created the gold maple which distinguished them enough to break into this market.&nbsp; The other mints followed with similar products.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, for the US buyer, there is not difference between the Buffalo and Eagle for pure investment holdings.&nbsp; IMO, I think the Eagle is better known, and in guys dealing in volumes, there is a preference for this coin due to its durability.&nbsp;&nbsp; Buy these on price, not purity.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you think you might be going to communist China to sell them, then there might be a small advantage to the buffalo, but otherwise, Nah.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
