[QUOTE="Argenteus Fossil, post: 2934101, member: 71478"]The US really has 2. The Eagle bullion program, but also the gold buffalo. The premium is currently the same between buffalo and eagle in many outlets. I also disagree with the exclusion of the Libertad. I agree with the exclusion of the Panda due to high premium, less than 1 ounce, etc. However, Libertads can be had for relative similar premiums as some of the others on the list. Given the current options, my list would be: 1st - Eagle - classic design; I highly appreciate the same design each year. I understand where some disagree with me here, but I prefer my "stack" uniform. Maple Leaf - also a classic design with security features. However, I feel the radial lines are not as aesthetic as smooth fields. Brittannia (close, almost tie with Maple Leaf) - The biggest detractor for me was the changing of the designs such as the fields each year. Some look nice, some I do not care for. It makes the stack less uniform. Earlier years with the drastic design changes did make them more collectable. Philharmonic - just not enough going on for me to really enjoy. I like the aesthetics of the reflective coin, particularly with smooth edges. Ultimately I feel the coin appears "flat" to me. 5th - Kangaroo - Really just my least favorite. It kind of falls in the same category as the Somali coins, for example. Can be attractive coins, but too much of a novelty to me to really want to "stack". The Libertad for me would fall somewhere in the middle of the pack.[/QUOTE]
