    Tough one. At the risk of starting something protracted...how do you define bullion?

    I understand why some might, but honestly is the UHR really bullion? At least not this year. It's a special mint piece, a proof, or the like.

    Contradicting myself from my post about silver bars/rounds and their integrity, I'll have to go where the buffalo roam.

    I like the Buffalo silghtly more than than the AGE since it's 9999 pure gold.

    Lightly circulated US $20 Liberties, not quite an ounce, but a lot more history.

    Hey, Gold is Gold & any time you can buy it for the smallest premium.....

    Don't forget that when you sell it, the premium is just as low.

    Which I see as a very good thing. Premiums are subjective, the dollar value of gold is not. When selling gold that you bought at a premium you are not garaunteed that you will realize that same premium. You may well realize a smaller premium, a larger premium or no premium at all depending on the circumstances. When selling gold that you bought with little or no premium you're nearly assured to at least get the dollar value of the gold content. Buying gold with the smallest premium possible represents a significantly smaller risk than buying gold with a hefty premium.

    super low mintages (there are something like 3 times as many 1978 Krugs as there are of all the 1oz pandas ever minted since 1982!)

    wonderful PL strikes with tons of frost

    Lets get this right.....I send 9 pieces of paper and ink to China through distributors, and China then sends me 1 troy ounce of pure gold? Seems like a good deal to me...ESPECIALLY if you dont like that government!

  • I like the panda's but didn't vote for them.

    Call it a silent ethical protest. I just won't have anything to do with them. Don't want this to turn into a political conversation, just my personal opinion.

    I'm kinda partial to THESE

    A little pricey though.

    I really like those buffalos but the premiums are too high.

    I like the hammered fields on the gold proof Buffalos.

    I voted Buffalo. What I would really enjoy, as a type set, is a PCGS MS 70 of each one image
  • I vote for the Buffalo based on purity, strike & classic design.

    The UHR is very nice along with the AGE.
