I voted for the US Eagle mostly because it is the bullion coin I am most familiar with and it seems to hold pretty good numismatic value along with the bullion value.

"For investment purposes," a coin with a bullion value of about $60 isn't going to make or break you one way or the other. They will all essentially be worth the same, plus or minus the price of a six-pack, for the next 100 years. Buy the one you like to look at. Buy the one that's cheapest today.

I will get the 2006 BU W mark Eagle. At least, it is little more than a bullion. If 2006 BU W already goes higher, I will wait for 2007 BU W or Buffalo 1/10 oz come out. If there is 1/10 oz Buffalo, it will be the first year issue.

I would find out if one had more gold content than the other and see the price difference between them, if they all have the same content then as was said I would go for what ever I liked the look of best

Why bother with 1/10oz gold BULLION coins. They will always be worth bullion if you get them at bullion prices unless the mint, government or someone annnounces that they have melted a significant amount of them a few years later and that is when it makes the coin valuable if the mintage number is low.
Remember - supply versus demand. Supply will always be fixed or reduced but what is important is the demand. Some world coins even after 10-20 years still remain about the same price!

I voted for the Krugerrands. You can get them for less money than the Eagles Or Maple Leafs.

I voted for the gold panda because the designs change yearly and they seem to appreciate in value because of the high demand for each design. But, buy from a reputable buyer if you go this route.

While Krugerrands are less prices than eagles, when you sell price realised is less than eagles too.

I should have also mentioned that I might be biased towards the Panda because I already have an Eagle, Maple leaf, and Austrian Phiharmonic and don't own a Panda yet.

You forgot the Isle of Man cats! They're not as easy to find, so that's probably why you didn't list them... My coin shop doesn't have them very often, I snag them when they do. I don't know how good of an investment they are, but they look nice.  I have several of them, they're pretty much all the gold coinage I own! As far as the ones you listed, I'd say US Eagle or the Maple Leaf. I already have the silver Maples, and I wouldn't mind adding a few of their gold cousins. Rachel  |

Non key date circulated half sovereigns can be bought for near bullion and have a bit more "soul" to them than a bullion coin.

Circulated Australian (non-key dates) sovereigns in lower grades sell for bullion price, but they are so much more interesting and attractive to look at.
