It’s very unlikely 1 ounce or below gold bullion or gold coin purchased from reputable dealers is going to be fake, so it really doesn’t matter what coin or reputable brand bar you buy. Just stick with the more common ones and buy from a reputable dealer(s)
For svelte , it might be more interesting mix it up and get variety.
American Eagles are good, but my preference would be gold coins that are 99.99% pure. American Eagles 91.67% pure, or 22k. On the other hand American Buffalo and Canadian Maple Leafs, Aussie Kangaroo,
mexican Libertad, Austrian Philharmonic, South African Krugerrand are 99.9% pure, or 24k. Also, the markup for American Eagle and Buffalos above spot is usually much more than other coins. Imho, you really can’t go wrong with any of them since gold is gold and the gold content is the same, so it boils down to price and what you like. My favorite are probably the Aussie Kangaroo and Canadian Maple because of the shiny finish

I think if you want to “invest”, maybe it’s easier to just get a tracking ETF like GLD or any of their 2x 3x variants. But I like to collect bling bling and don’t plan to sell. (Ok, maybe sell a few duplicate ones to cover the cost of the ones that I keep… Kinda like what my sibling does with wine… Buy 4 special reservice wine, sell 3 to pay for the 1 she drinks, lol)
