- Does the Royal Canadian Mint run sales?
- The Mint sells directly at set prices and does not hold seasonal sales the way retailers do. Discounts on Maple Leaf coins usually come from bullion dealers competing on premium over spot, not from the Mint.
- Where is the cheapest place to buy a Gold Maple Leaf?
- Compare the premium over spot across dealers, since the coin's metal value is the same everywhere. Fractional sizes like 1/10 oz carry a higher premium per ounce than 1 oz coins, so the smallest coins are rarely the cheapest way to buy gold.
- What are the Mint's best-known products?
- The Gold Maple Leaf and Silver Maple Leaf are its flagship bullion coins, both struck to .9999 fineness. The 1/10 oz gold coin has a $5 face value, and the silver coin has a $5 face value with 1 oz of silver.
- What does random year mean for the 1/10 oz gold coin?
- The dealer picks the year from its stock, anywhere from 1979 to the present, and you cannot choose it. Condition is listed as brilliant uncirculated, but the specific year you receive is not guaranteed.
- Can I return a Maple Leaf coin?
- Return policies come from the dealer you buy from, not from the Mint. Check the dealer's terms before ordering, since bullion coins are often subject to stricter return rules than other products.
