Maple Leafs are almost pure gold, at least 99.9% (three nines)

Many Indians prefer Maple Leaf becuase jewlers are happy to take them to use as raw material. Bridal jewelry being a big thing in India.

Maple Leafs, the Aussie coins, and American Eagles are among the highest volume NEW bullion gold coins in the world, and so are familiar to many people.

Krugerrands still have some stigma fro aparthied, and are alloyed with copper.

Pandas have a rarity that commands an slight premium.

American Eagles have some possible use in IRAs, and possibly some very minor legal advantages for US holders.

I would suggest getting at least a few differnt types. I recently bought soem Mexican coins, since I'm in California and about 600 miles from Mexico.

You want ot have something your future buyer is familiar and comfortable with. I also have Eagles, but most are Maple Leafs, becaues of the Indian factor. Lots of Indians all over the world.

This is bullion only, collectibles are another matter.
