Okay, so I've been wrestling with this decision for a bit now, and I'd love to hear some input from people who've gone through it. I'm looking to add another chunk of gold to my Gold IRA this year – probably another $10-15k, just to keep building that pension supplement. I'm a government employee here in Albuquerque, so every bit helps ensure a comfortable retirement down the line.

My last purchase was an even split of Eagles and Buffalos, and honestly, I'm leaning towards just straight Buffalos this time. The purity just feels better, even if the premium is slightly higher. I know Eagles are super popular and recognizable, which is a good thing for liquidity, but that 22-karat just feels...less pure. Maybe it's just a mental thing for me, but when I'm thinking about long-term wealth preservation, I just want that 24k goodness.

For those of you with Gold IRAs, which do you tend to favor and why? Are there any strong arguments for sticking with Eagles that I might be overlooking, especially for IRA purposes? I've been playing around with the Gold IRA Calculator to see how different growth scenarios might play out with my current holdings, but it doesn't really factor in the numismatic premium or the purity difference in a way that helps me decide between these two. Just curious about people's real-world preferences and reasoning.

Is there a compelling reason to stick with Eagles over Buffalos, or should I just go with my gut and stack those pure gold coins?
