1oz American Buffalo or 1oz Generic gold bar

[Blehhhh]

Strange question,

But given the option of either, no difference in price.

Which do you take, the American Buffalo or a generic gold bar (could end up being either Perth mint or Unicore or Metalor)

And why?

Take the Buffalo, just my opinion

Buffalo all the way.  It's a beautiful 1oz coin, one of my absolute favourite designs.

I would choose the gold Buffalo. I know, of course, that gold Buffalos and gold bars are both bullion but there is nothing aesthetically appealing about gold bars to keep me stacking them. It’s always best in my opinion to invest in a variety of gold coins. Here’s my gold Buffalo and you’re damn right, @JunkBond, how reluctant I am to sell my beautiful golden beast.

The bar, because if you get the Buffalo you will never want to sell.

Buffalos are gorgeous coins - likely carries a re-sale premium compared to a generic bar.

Thanks guys, Buffalo it is.

The Buffalo.

Coins are somewhat more interesting, in my opinion anyway.

Bars for me at least are less interesting.

Buffalo as it has a face value, which can be handy if crossing boarders. 

All round it's a beautiful coin aswell.

"same price" who wouldn't go for the Buffalo? I always buy the cheapest one ounce pure gold I can fine, I don't care about the "premium" coins because when you need to sell them in a hurry you will not get premium price.
