Gold coins remain one of the most prized assets for both investors and collectors. Many individuals look to convert these coveted pieces into cash when refining or rebalancing their portfolios. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we actively buy gold coins from customers, offering competitive rates based on current market value.
Among the many gold coin programs produced by sovereign and private mints worldwide, few carry the prestige and recognition of the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf from the Royal Canadian Mint. Today, the Royal Canadian Mint produces more than 1 billion coins each year, including its flagship gold, silver, and platinum Maple Leaf bullion series, as well as circulating currency for multiple nations.
The Canadian Maple Leaf is the official bullion coin of Canada and one of the most recognized in the world. First introduced in 1979, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf quickly became a major competitor to the South African Krugerrand in global gold demand. Its high purity and consistent quality make it a desirable option for those selling gold coins.
The obverse of the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf has featured four different portraits of the reigning monarch:
The reverse displays the iconic sugar maple leaf, a national emblem of Canada. Since its debut, the design has remained unchanged, with the addition of advanced security features such as radial lines and a microscopic maple leaf privy mark.
See our selection of Canadian Maple Leaf coins by weight:
When first issued in 1979, the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf featured .999 fine gold. In 1982, purity was upgraded to .9999 fine gold, with certain special issues reaching .99999 fine gold. Coins are struck in sizes ranging from 1 oz to 1 gram, with face values proportional to their weight, based on the CAD 50 value for the 1 oz coin.
Market demand for Canadian Gold Maple Leafs has remained strong over the years. For example, in 2016, gold bullion sales surged by more than 35% compared to the previous year. Historical sales data from the Royal Canadian Mint consistently shows high demand, with many years averaging around 1 million ounces of gold sold across coins and bars.
For sellers, this steady demand means Canadian Gold Maple Leafs maintain strong resale value in the secondary market, making them an attractive option when liquidating gold assets.
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf is issued annually in both bullion and proof forms, with most examples being Brilliant Uncirculated (BU). These coins typically display no wear, although minor contact marks or surface spotting from the minting process may be visible.
Collectors and investors often choose to have coins certified by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) or Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Certified examples generally achieve higher resale values due to their verified authenticity and preserved condition.
Certified Gold Coins, including Canadian Gold Maple Leafs, are graded and authenticated by NGC or PCGS to confirm purity, authenticity, and visual quality. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we purchase both certified and non-certified Maple Leaf coins, offering rates based on gold content, current market conditions, and collectible demand.
Established in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint evolved from producing Canadian coinage in London to becoming one of the world’s leading mints. The Ottawa facility handled all coin production until 1976, when the Winnipeg branch opened to increase capacity. Throughout its history, the RCM has produced both circulation and bullion coins for Canada and other countries, with a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and purity standards.
