[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1940641, member: 38849"]Maple Leaf (I have 2). High liquidity. Down the line, you won't have to convince anyone that's it's really gold. Ask yourself, with all the criminality in the marketplace, why would ANYBODY buy a gold bar?? And why pay a premium for the Howling Wolf? If gold doubles in the next 3 years, you will be howling, as the price of a Maple Leaf and a Wolf*will be exactly the same, all the premium evaporated. *assuming it's one ounce - I can't find it in Krause to see the gold content... Virtually no Mint products will retain their premium if gold takes off. You are either a stacker or a numismatist, it's hard to be both at the same time. I have heard that U.S. gold eagles can be put into an IRA, although it requires a trustee, and I don't know the details. I would investigate the tax benefits, if any, before deciding. Personally, I want my gold in hand, not on the 11th floor of some building in Kansas City. Still, the tax advantage (in [U]your[/U] situation) may be compelling.[/QUOTE]
