I keep reading that as forge, like in a furnace. Forging a sword.
What is the verb for committing a forgery anyway?

Pretty sure it's forge as in "forge someone's signature".

This video contains the Eagle, Buffalo, and Maple Leaf
The only thing to note is that SWP probably has a global perspective vs. what is best for US residents.

Eagles probably can't be beat but these are all great coins.

Here in Canada the Canadian Maple Leaf bullion coins are not subject to sales tax. Many foreign coins are. As a result, for us, it's a no-brainer to just go with the Maple Leafs.
