<p>[QUOTE="KeyHunter, post: 7855810, member: 122558"]This an April '21 started Poll. When I started 'golding over a decade and a half ago I hardly ever saw Krugs in my shop or marketplace...They were minted in enormous quantities around the start of the series but it was off-and-on and then more limited numbers later until present (if I'm not wrong). It's just been recent years that Krugs have started showing up; locally they were cheaper than Maples and few purchased them. I think a LOT of new-'golder people were unfamiliar with them. My Dad short-term held a handful of Krugs back in the 70's. I suspected that when gold started reaching new record highs $ many older holders sold gold for profits, thereby Krugs now becoming more common on the marketplace again. As people learn that Krugs are the SAME alloys as the AGEs, which were copied after Krugs to be the American equivalent, but can get them cheaper than Maples at first recently, then on par with Maples my shop runs out as fast as they restock. With "minimize your premium" as a general rule for purchases, I just don't see Buffalos (the American equivalent of the Maple) that attractive on a design or price basis. They might be good for having a few for variety but stacking Buffs, I don't see or hear it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
