When you see the "holographic" security feature on the 1 ozt Britannia, and then realise it's on the fractionals all the way down to a 1/25th ozt coin - you just marvel at the technology these days.
It’s my fav for sure. I’m Yet to acquire the buffalo, which is equally beautiful, But darn, I just can’t see the hundred dollar extra. 20 or 30 more is acceptable, but I doubt will ever see that.
@@identifiesas65.wheresmyche95 I don’t think so, not in my area ….. Buffalo is a high premium coin from my experience. What’s the price difference in your area or with your dealer?
Love the Buffalo! Bought the britannia for the security features and enjoy the Perth mint quality and design. If only the queen was young and attractive I'd be buying more of em. Currently stacking philharmonics
The Britannia will be the coin of the year for 2021. Maple is the maple it's elegant and classic, the buffalo is rustic and classic Americana, finest gold coin besides the pre-33 gaudens.
Fantastic review! It was great to see that you didn’t give any biased viewpoints and let the viewer decide for themselves which coin looks the best. All three are highly respected by me and a mighty difficult decision to tell which was is the most attractive. I like that the maple was the first pure 9999 24 karat gold coin introduced in 1979 and that the Canadian mint only use gold sourced from Canada, now that’s pretty damn cool! Only advice is the second time you measured, should’ve been in metric format ie grams, but no matter. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work, thanks my friend and all the best.
On top of that the Pound is also worth more. But of no significance. It's still just a low arbitrary fictional value that needs to be there because the countries law require legel tender to have a face value. In that respect I really like the Krugerrand. Honest value legal tender in it's country without fictional face value. But I think in many countries face value doesn't matter but sure there are probably some. In EU investment gold is not obligated to be legal tender. Not that there's many generic gold rounds available but legally they'd be perfectly viable as investment gold on par with government issued bullion.
I still don't know why ppl are so set on "security features" when it's easy to tell real gold from fake no matter how many features...like the lcs is or a person who can verify it being 24kt gold is going to buy it. The britannia is gorgeous although I don't like that lady on my coins as a patriotric man but I can't deny the beauty in the britannia and maple. However I get same effects from their silver versions where the silver buffalo doesn't compare to the it's gold version imho.
And the winner is…..the buffalo because there is no queens head on it. Lol. All very fine coins, I want to buy a brittania on the next dip. Looks like gold is heading up right now, so maybe I might have to wait or bite the bullet and buy one soon.
Probably depends on which way you look at it. The Britannia is probably technically the hardest to copy. On the other hand dies are laser engraved with unique ID patterns for Maples. Most likely not that hard to copy to looks of it but in order for it to come up as verified as comming from one of the Royal Canadian Mint's dies is most likely also very difficult. On the other hand if you don't have access to a scanner with software to lookup information in the RCM database then the Britannia is probably the most easy to spot as fake. But hey no one is going to make a 1:1 copy in 9999 solid gold so I don't know how important those measures are but they're nice none the less. In the past governments has been known to make 1:1 copies of Krugerrands as a way of obtaining forreign currencies. But hey they still held the promised 1 oz gold!!
@@HifiCentret it's private sell security we don't care where the gold came from heck I'm sure some of this gold in these bullion coins came from the victims of ww2. Anyways I doubt it would be difficult for any government to create exact "1:1" counterfeit usd bills. But hey who cares along as you know it's real gold.
Britannia has a higher face value of 100 pounds if you turn that face value in USD it's literally $134.99 which is around 67 % more of face value ! I don't know why US and Canada have lower face value of 50 $ only.
Absolutely gorgeous 24kt Gold specimens. As far as beauty goes, it’s the Britannia, Maple, then the Buffalo. BUT as far as value...well there’s nothing that surpasses the power of the Great American Gold Buffalo. I collect the American Gold Eagles 🦅, for the supreme liquidity.

New subscriber here! Awesome coins! The buffalo is my favorite. I have a buffalo and a Maple in 1oz. No Britannia though! Good luck with your channel and your stack!
@@wecx2375 Yeah i have sold bullion this past December since I needed some fiat for Christmas gifts And he closely examined my coin to make sure there weren't any scratches. So [lease don't tell me i don't know what I am talking about.
But it has very small diameter in my eyers. On the other side i dont want a poor thickness of philharmonic. Perfect solution for me would be a gold Maple leaf in the same size as a silver coin. This would be unic in the word of PM coins.
@@ACE_. i understand your appreciation for the Buffalo but your approach makes you seem like a schmuck. Listen I'm sure most of these countries which honurs the queens portrait on their bullion would rather ditch her. Too me it's a good compromise compared to the alternative of England ruling over all of Canada and Australia so on so forth.
