I don't think it matters that much. I've always bought American Eagles, just seems like they'd be more universally acceptable in case of emergency.

There's a price premium on current-year Eagles for some reason, so people almost always buy "prior-year".

Also Eagles in general are about $10 more than other 1-oz coins (dunno why, call Tulving and ask him if curious). But its $10 more on the buy and $10 more on the sell, the spread is the same, so who cares.

I like the plastic tubes of 20, they make excellent doorstops around the house <g>. Who says Gold is useless?

>>What is the best thing to buy, if one wants to hold "physical" gold?<<

note, if you buy canadian maple leafs, make sure they are "4 nines". The older ones are "3 nines". The "4 nines" are about the purest gold you can get and demand a premium, for gold content.
