Canadian Maple Gold Leaf Coin - Canadian Gold Coins

 

The Canadian maple gold leaf coin holds a special place in the heart of Canada - The reason for this is that it is the official bullion gold coin of the country and Canada was the first country to introduce a pure gold bullion coin.

 

Interestingly, it is still one of the purest, regular issue gold coins in the entire world. The coin contains close to a 100% pure concentration of gold (which is mined in Canada), with only trace amounts of base metals. Their purity is also guaranteed by the Canadian government.

 

Now that's some guarantee!

 

The first Canadian maple leaf gold coin was released as a one ounce coin in the year 1979. Lower weights then followed as the years went by all the way down to a one fiftteenth ounce which was released in 1994.

 

The Canadian maple gold leaf coin comes in a variety of weights and values. The coin you purchase will have this information marked on your particular coin.Obviously, for reasons to do with their purity, these gold coins are very much sought after by the avid coin collector.

 

Of course, you too may also be interested in getting your hands on one of these in-demand gold bullion coins and you'd have many options on where you could make this important purchase. There are several offline Canadian gold stores that can accommodate your needs but they tend to carry a hefty premium.

 

Online is different. Many gold coin dealers online have lower overheads which you should take advantage of - some offer better value than others but of course, much of the price situation is dependant on the fluctuating gold market.

 

After browsing my fair share of gold coin sellers, I stumbled upon a great place to purchase my Canadian maple gold leaf coin - It's a site called bullion411.com and the wonderful thing about them is the great variety of coins they cover!

 

I was also able to bid in an auction style format and pay less than spot price for the Canadian maple gold leaf coin i was after. Which to me was a fantastic bargain. Whatever kind of gold coins you're looking for, I'd certainly recommend a visit. You're sure to find yourself a coin that peaks your interest and quite likely bag yourself a bargain.
