That's because the silver price is for weaklings. Real Germans pay in blood and iron. Just kidding. As a Canadian that's super interesting to me, I never would have guessed. I thought it would be the Philharmonics or perhaps the Britannias (perhaps not after Brexit, lol)

One thing about the maple leafs "2018 and later" are they are absolutely stunning. They shine and bling more than any coin or round out there. I wish more coins and rounds were made like maple leafs. They never get boring to look at kuz all u have to do is tilt them back n forth under light and its just gorgeous. 💿👑
@@SilverDragons47 I used to dislike the Royal family too until I watch the series on Netflix (or was it Amazon Prime?). The Queen has spent her entire life avoiding using her power and acting as an ambassador. She never wanted the crown and her father did not want it either. Obviously they represent the old ways but I think she has a lot of integrity and made the best of the situation she was put in.
Some of the rarest coins are those that were initially unpopular. Take USA modern commemoratives. "Popular" ones often sold out at the mint, and less popular ones didn't. Now the premiums have reversed.
I do like stacking maples. One thing I've learned never pay retail for them. They can be found at $0.50 under spot at coin shows and coin shops. Still, a great coin to stack.
I avoid them and refer to them as _haggage._ Although I'd pay a negative premium of 10% or more. 😜 I equate the hag to having Adolph Hitler on a coin, very politically incorrect, even more so over time.
You say that. I'm English and I certainly don't go to bed thinking about her. A few might but the majority don't really care. I have nothing against her as an individual, but as an institution it's all a bit mental and arguably wrong. I did follow my mother-in-law around Buckingham Palace once though and contemplate making off with a table which originally belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte as it looked very cool. Regarding silver, I do get bored seeing her face I have to say.
I love the ML’s. I stack for weight. Milk spots don’ matter to me. I have a few tubes of cull ML’s that were bought at a very good price and will buy more when available.
I think that the Silver CML (2018 and later) is the best sovereign coin to stack. The lower premiums are welcome today, and the security features will very valuable if silver goes on a serious bull run as new retail investors to precious metal will want certainty. That said if the new ASE design next year has comparable security features, then all bets are off, depending on their premium, of course.
I love em ! I have never had a spotting issue as I always store all my silver with a lot of dessicant. Now with the "Mint Shield" on all products the problem should be solved. I generally get a tube of 25 a year. Many go as gifts to kids and new babies. They just love them Good post bud. I have even melted a bunch for various projects.Well done young son.
To clean your silver :) 200 ml hot water 20 grams table salt 10 grams baking soda Aluminum foil :) Shiny side up make sure the silver is in contact with the aluminium foil then mix salt and baking soda in the hot water and put in in the bowl with the alu foil and silver on top :) dont do this with old valuable coins Just melt value silver :)
They are great for stacking, especially if you live within a few hour drive from the canadian border. Much cheaper than eagles, but just as much recognizeable.

12:20 I'm from the Netherlands and actually it is the queen / or person on a coin that makes it a bit less interesting for me. Nonetheless I still get those, due to liquidity and desirability. The newer versions are interesting too because with all due respect but if one of the persons portrayed on the coins passes away, ' the last year ' will have an additional value in the future. 11:00 Been listening to information about silver for a few weeks now, somehow I didn't know about the milk spots yet. Great to know, as I thought the current year 2022 maple leafs are very expensive here. (29,40 euro) while the Kangaroo, Britannia and Philharmonic are 28,50 even tho the delivery time is 5 more weeks! Older maple leafs are also around 28,50 but you don't know what year you'll get. They wont have milkspots, but you don't know if they are " due date" . I find it difficult to decide what's best, due to different reasons of stacking. One is diversifying, other is it makes it easier for me to save money rather than spend it. The other one is during economic problems, inflation and who knows collapse of currency. Bars here are taxed by 21%. But, what if premium is way above 21% then bars might even become a possible option...
Stack the newer maples because they dont spot as bad. Maples are nice. Have a tube of 2019s. I know its probably not popular opinion here in the US but I'm a big fan of Britannias. I just love how they shine and they're just absolutely beautiful. My favorite bullion for sure.
I agree with you. I'm an American and I love Britannia, by far the prettiest bullion coin. I'm also a fan of the Royal Arms coin which seems to be a second annual bullion coin by the Royal Mint. The British seem to be the only ones offering that which is quite awesome.
The ten ounce Royal Mint Britannia bars are also simply gorgeous. I've decided that half my stack should be a combination of ten ounce Royal Canadian Mint bars and ten ounce Britannia bars. I wish the US Mint would take notes and offer bullion bars. How cool would a US Mint Eagle bar be if it was modeled similarly to the Britannia bar?
They are stunning when the milk spot doesn't show up. The leaf is like a strobe light, really impressive looking stuff.

Just another reason to stack silver. Again, the Canadian one ounce Maple leaf is a really nice coin and highly liquid. Great presentation again Silver Dragon.
Jerry Cooper .... higher tax on Silver seems unfair. I don’t pretend to know why but maybe because it is used more than gold in industrial applications (so I’ve heard) or maybe it’s because the people with money invest in gold and it’s just another way to keep the little man down.
Silver Dragons: Thanks mate and I really enjoy your informative videos on silver, one of the best on the net. I think from what I have researched it is a case that the governments who tax silver, know something is coming. Whether this be in the near future or far, I don’t know. There was another probe into JP Morgan’s silver holdings last week, as they apparently don’t have enough physical silver to cover for their future silver contracts. I had a chat via Skype last week with Mark Yaxley from SWP, he thinks the demand for silver will be also retail driven as sovereign debt goes up. I agree! My game plan is two fold with silver. Buy now and sell it, if it hits the 50 dollar mark or above. If not, I am quite happy to hold my silver long term and cash in on my retirement. Win/Win situation!
Jerry Cooper ... I’m pretty new to the silver stacking so I can’t offer any great advice. I do like the Maple Leafs. Especially the Privy Silver Maple Leafs. They are a real nice looking coin. They are the ones with the frosted backgrounds. I’m in the US and will probably buy more Canadian than anything else because I like them better and they have a low premium attached to them when buying. Doesn’t look like anyone has a problem selling them on eBay so I don’t see any downside.
Went to a coin shop recently that had just purchased a collection of privy marked maples from a guy. I'm guessing they had 150 coins of all different marks and years. Ended up cherry picking the best ones. Got five or six of the F15's, a few of the Capricorn and Libra's, a couple D-day ones and a bunch of others. Basically paid the same price for them as I would a random date silver maple. Pretty good find I would say and a blast to pick through.
Maybe it's just me but on the back of the Canadian Maple coin the Queen looks like Sigourney Weaver from alien and avatar. Great vids by the way to. The Canadian silver and gold Maple are 2 of my favourite coins of all time.
I bought a pre-owned 2016 Maple Leaf last November and there isn't a trace of milk spotting. However one of the ten 2019 Britannias I bought last July started milk spotting within 48 hours.
Also from Oregon in the Salem area and would love to learn more about the silver community. You are one of the best channels. Keep up the good work bro.
I snagged my first Maple Leaf on this last order. I got the 2020 hoping to avoid MILK SPOTS!! 🤞🤞 Also snagged a few other 2020 bullion coins to grow that stack. 😎
@@MrCaboose83 he says in the video anything 2018 and newer should be fine. I got a 2020 so they should have all the kinks worked out and hopefully little to no milk spots.
I live in South Korea and I will stack any sovereign coin all day long over American Eagles with their outrageous premiums. If I do decide to pay for a high premium coin I would choose the Libertad over ASEs.
IMO the best option to choose your stacking coin type is the one that comes from the mint that is closest to your location where you live. But regardless of that - whatever you choose to stack stick with it. Don't create a mix of all available options as it will bring some small problems along the way you'd like to make undone but there you are some years later with a mix of everything :) PS: If you wish to have a variety just for looks okay. Get some as you wish. But keep the stacking one typle only.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing. I’m currently interested in purchasing 100 ounce bar of silver from a friend of mine who recently lost a parent. She just wants to liquidate it and get rid of it so I’m going to take a look at it and make an offer. I heard currently it’s worth around 3000 bucks
I own over 100,000 ASE'S in mint sealed monster boxes. You keep buying leafs and I'll keep buying eagles. I was born in Canada 🇨🇦 but I am a naturalized AMERICAN citizen and have dual citizenship from when I was born in 1947. I love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 🎉 both country's but my heart my life my honor is as a AMERICAN. I buy my country's sovereign coin THE EAGLE 2 monster boxes every year. Great investment. I also have 5 gallon buckets of 90% constitutional silver coins pre 1964 HALFS,QUARTERS,DIMES, some culled MORGAN silver dollars. All set to barter when the time comes. I own acreage up in Maine next to the Canadian border.
Am a beginning stacker from Belgium. Weird enough i can get the 2020 nuggets cheaper than the philharmonikers and maple leafs. I love the maples. Cheers
I was on a libertad mission also but they were so hard to find and when i did i had to pay 4 over spot for them so after i got about 8 of them i stoped lol. Good luck finding cheap ones. 💿👑
Only have a couple rolls of silver maple leafs but I like em! The gold ones are so nice though. Oh and I HATE milk spots. I try to only get the newer ones.
Oh yeah I'm American so the American Silver Eagle is my favorite of all time but I love the Canadian maple leafs also something about that 9999 silver gets me I know there's no difference between 3 9 and 4 9s but I love them maple leafs!

Thats one Sovereign bullion coin that I haven't gotten in my stack yet. I will in time. There's a couple I really like and just waiting for the right opportunity😊👍.
ML are perfect, it's good to have at least a tube of each country, some countries coin are ridiculously overpriced but still it's good having a tube for collection purposes
In the city where I live Edmonton Alberta Canada they charge a $2 premium on Canadian maple Leafs yet when you go to sell them back they do not give you back your $2 premium they actually also take a 5% premium and give you 95% when you sell it back. My opinion is that here in Canada it's better to go with just bulk silver rather than Canadian maple leafs cuz you don't make your $2 back.
Here's a question. You buy a strongbox of silver eagles from a supplier with a decent reputation. The box comes sealed from the mint. Should you open it to verify the contents? How to really know what's inside the strongbox without opening it? What if a crafty person faked the seal and replaced its contents? Opening the seal makes it is harder to sell the strongbox in the future, right?
Paul Schuyler I would leave it sealed personally.... once you own them you can do whatever you want with them though 😏 it would be super hard to fake a whole box I think. I have never seen one anyways 🔥🐉
You know I love the Maples. I have several different years. Hubby B picked up some 1991’s , 93’s and 99’s all just above Spot. Luckily enough there is only one that has a spot on it. They are all sealed in their Mint packaging.🤞☺️👩🦳🏵
Great video but you forgot to mention the newer security feature of the tiny maple leaf with the year in it on the Reverse side at the approximate 5 O'clock position. A magnifying glass may be required to fully appreciate it,
you got it backwards bud they do the heating after the pressing the furnace anneals the coins after they been pressed to realign the grains if they didnt do this process the coinds would crack from the stress
I need some clarification and advice, is there any cons to buying any year Silver Maple Leafs vs 2021 coins? If I could get the any year ones for cheaper, is that the way to go? Any advice is much appreciated
I LOVE your videos. I apologize if I asked you this before, but what camera are you using for this video? Additionally, how are you mounting it in front of you?
Another OverTaxed TaxPayer thanks so much! I use my iphone11 pro max to get 4k and I just place it on a phone tripod 🤷🏽♂️ they are like $10 on amazon 🔥🐉
I’ve got a 1994 that was sealed in RCM plastic. Upon opening, there’s no nice “ping” sound to my coin. I’ve ordered rare earth magnets to now check my silver. I’m not very happy with this Maple leaf. Ever heard of fake Maple Leaf coins being sold in RCM packaging? Thanks!
I am a little confused about the $5 CAD value....does the coin value not follow spot prices if used in open commerce (at a store)? Do you only get spot value if you sell them in the bullion market? If sold in bullion market, would these be more valuable than generic rounds? Thanks
That's called the face value. They are legal tender in Canada. That meaning if you go to a store in Canada they are obliged to accept them at face value. As for their market value, you of course can only get that value when you sell them on the market. They carry slightly more value than generic silver, but nothing to rely on. The real value is they are minted by a trusted mint and everyone knows what they are.
While I'd never turn down the _gift_ of a Maple Leaf, what I buy for my own stack are ASEs, Libertads, Aztec Calendars (out of Florida, apparently), and recently Apmex's Route 66 New Mexico "rounds", each being 1-oz of silver (and I also stack constitutional silver). I figure local folks with whom I may one day do business (bartering) will recognize and be more interested in these coins and rounds than in silver from the very far away Great White North, England, Australia, China, etc.
They’re excellent for stacking just as recognizable as eagles and just as easy to sell at lcs
Refrigeration Mechanic oh yeah gotta love the maples! 🔥🐉

I had a chat via Skype last week with Mark Yaxley from SWP, he thinks the demand for silver will be also retail driven as sovereign debt goes up. I agree!
My game plan is two fold with silver. Buy now and sell it, if it hits the 50 dollar mark or above. If not, I am quite happy to hold my silver long term and cash in on my retirement. Win/Win situation!
Jerry Cooper ... I’m pretty new to the silver stacking so I can’t offer any great advice. I do like the Maple Leafs. Especially the Privy Silver Maple Leafs. They are a real nice looking coin. They are the ones with the frosted backgrounds. I’m in the US and will probably buy more Canadian than anything else because I like them better and they have a low premium attached to them when buying. Doesn’t look like anyone has a problem selling them on eBay so I don’t see any downside.
great content. They are pretty & the radials and privy marks are cool.
laughingcanine yes I do like the privies! 🔥🐉
Went to a coin shop recently that had just purchased a collection of privy marked maples from a guy. I'm guessing they had 150 coins of all different marks and years. Ended up cherry picking the best ones. Got five or six of the F15's, a few of the Capricorn and Libra's, a couple D-day ones and a bunch of others. Basically paid the same price for them as I would a random date silver maple. Pretty good find I would say and a blast to pick through.
Maybe it's just me but on the back of the Canadian Maple coin the Queen looks like Sigourney Weaver from alien and avatar. Great vids by the way to. The Canadian silver and gold Maple are 2 of my favourite coins of all time.
I love to buy milk-spotted Canadian maples. I can normally get them a bit cheaper and with a few minutes of polishing you never know the diffrence
I bought a pre-owned 2016 Maple Leaf last November and there isn't a trace of milk spotting. However one of the ten 2019 Britannias I bought last July started milk spotting within 48 hours.
Stephanie G yeah the britannia’s and phil’s spit as well... really all silver is susceptible... except poured silver 😜🔥🐉
Also from Oregon in the Salem area and would love to learn more about the silver community. You are one of the best channels. Keep up the good work bro.
milkspots were RCM cheapo version of anti counterfeiting... if it didn't have spots better test it 😄
I snagged my first Maple Leaf on this last order. I got the 2020 hoping to avoid MILK SPOTS!! 🤞🤞 Also snagged a few other 2020 bullion coins to grow that stack. 😎
Chris Hughes which production years are affected by milkspots?
@@MrCaboose83 he says in the video anything 2018 and newer should be fine. I got a 2020 so they should have all the kinks worked out and hopefully little to no milk spots.
Chris Hughes very cool! you should be in the clear... any of the maples 2018 and later should be ok for the most part 🔥🐉
I like the maple leaf but the obverse picture of the queen is a terrible portrait. Not a patch on Jody Clark efforts.
Adam 78 lol yeah i’m not a fan of the obverse either 🔥🐉
Don't like granny's effigy either , always buy the earlier dates when I can.
I scrolled thru some comments, i really expected someone to say that is the 4th portrait of the queen on canadian coins not the third.
I live in South Korea and I will stack any sovereign coin all day long over American Eagles with their outrageous premiums. If I do decide to pay for a high premium coin I would choose the Libertad over ASEs.
The best, so are the 1.5 ounce $8 polar bear and polar bear with the cub. They feel like treasure!!
IMO the best option to choose your stacking coin type is the one that comes from the mint that is closest to your location where you live. But regardless of that - whatever you choose to stack stick with it. Don't create a mix of all available options as it will bring some small problems along the way you'd like to make undone but there you are some years later with a mix of everything :)
PS: If you wish to have a variety just for looks okay. Get some as you wish. But keep the stacking one typle only.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing.
I’m currently interested in purchasing 100 ounce bar of silver from a friend of mine who recently lost a parent. She just wants to liquidate it and get rid of it so I’m going to take a look at it and make an offer. I heard currently it’s worth around 3000 bucks
Don't have any yet but plan on picking up a couple every year just to have in my stack. Thanks for all the info on them.
Silver Short Stacks they are very good for stacking! you are welcome my friend! 🔥🐉
do you recommend putting them in Air tight capsule?
I try very hard not to touch them with my bare hands. Coin cases are the way to go. If not wear gloves.
@@essentialzijamoringa98 After three months thanks for a reply i appreciate it
👍👍
Sometimes people just post vids to earn $$$ and don’t reply to comments or questions I find.
Thanks for all the info on the maples. I do have quite a few in my stack. Good looking coins.
Bad Butch you are very welcome my friend! thanks for watching! 🔥🐉
Thanks for the video and info. Mine are from 1988.In plastic RGM package, no milk spots.Thanks again.😎👍👍👌👌⛏⛏
Chuck Gentles you are welcome and that is super awesome for sure!!! you are probably in the clear by now 😂🔥🐉
They don't add copper to silver maple leaf coins; what are you talking about?
I own over 100,000 ASE'S in mint sealed monster boxes. You keep buying leafs and I'll keep buying eagles. I was born in Canada 🇨🇦 but I am a naturalized AMERICAN citizen and have dual citizenship from when I was born in 1947. I love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 🎉 both country's but my heart my life my honor is as a AMERICAN. I buy my country's sovereign coin THE EAGLE 2 monster boxes every year. Great investment. I also have 5 gallon buckets of 90% constitutional silver coins pre 1964 HALFS,QUARTERS,DIMES, some culled MORGAN silver dollars. All set to barter when the time comes. I own acreage up in Maine next to the Canadian border.
Am a beginning stacker from Belgium.
Weird enough i can get the 2020 nuggets cheaper than the philharmonikers and maple leafs. I love the maples.
Cheers
In center of the little leaf, there is a leaf, and i center of that the year of the cion is. So in the 2020 is says 20.
Denni Bjerregaard Chemnitz yes those micro engravings are hard to see without a microscope 👍🏽🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 a good magnifying glass can do the trick.
Prob most pure and recognizable precious metal series coins... the best in my oppinion...
Ryan Burdon they are great for stacking! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Thank you I just started buying coins.Great information👍
Need to add these maple and libertads to my stack
Libertads are my favorite!! I don't really do Maples!!
I was on a libertad mission also but they were so hard to find and when i did i had to pay 4 over spot for them so after i got about 8 of them i stoped lol. Good luck finding cheap ones. 💿👑
Jonathan Reese oh yeah both are great options! 🔥🐉
hard to fake milk spots lol at least you know the maple is real
Yup! Agreed. That's what i tell people. You know they are probably real.
🗽🇺🇸
🇨🇦 ⚜️ milk, Tabernac!! 🤣
René Michel lol real and really ugly 😂🔥🐉
i dont like spots either although they are usually a little cheaper in any case i hope the mint shield works , time will tell
@@tommcstacker4216 since a few years not anymore.
These are by far my favorites. I got some of the 1.5 oz coins this week. They look way better then U.S. coins.
Lucien Graves I do like the predator series 👍🏽🔥🐉
Can you do a video like this on the Britannia?
MARCO'S RANT 👍🏽🔥🐉
This video was recommended just in time 👍🏻
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN !
Only have a couple rolls of silver maple leafs but I like em! The gold ones are so nice though.
Oh and I HATE milk spots. I try to only get the newer ones.
Ed yeah I wanna check out those gold ones for sure! 🔥🐉
Canada beautiful coins.
THe best silver to buy hands down, no comp is silver dimes and quarters.
Bob Silver you know it! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Oh yeah I'm American so the American Silver Eagle is my favorite of all time but I love the Canadian maple leafs also something about that 9999 silver gets me I know there's no difference between 3 9 and 4 9s but I love them maple leafs!
I have about 25% of Maples but now I buy generic 10oz bars or 1oz rounds. Exit strategy main reason. Thanks for the video!
John P yeah these can be easy to sell for sure! thanks for watching! 🔥🐉
almost filled my first tube:)
Leeroy Stackman that is great! stack on my friend! 🔥🐉
Hi, Dragons. I have a year set of MLs. None of them have milk spots. I like them for their purity. *TYU*
Donald in New Mexico that is super cool! I found some good ways to clean off the milk spots anyways. I will be posting a video on it 🔥🐉
So is there any way you could do a video on what return you should expect on your silver investment or at least should strive for silver stacking thanks 👍🏼
Joe Blanton great idea my friend! most people stack for savings not necessarily investment but I would say never sell at a loss for starters 🤷🏽♂️🔥🔥
Hold your metal. Trade PM stocks for profits. No commissions anymore. Your best bet for profits.And the Jrs. make big % moves! Learn some T.A. to help.
Great topic SD. I stay away from the Royal Canadian Mint products because of their quality issues.
New Way yeah thankfully they have bounced back somewhat since 2018 🔥🐉
Thats one Sovereign bullion coin that I haven't gotten in my stack yet. I will in time. There's a couple I really like and just waiting for the right opportunity😊👍.
Ehren Krause you gotta get at least 1! 😁🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 I do for sure. It's been a year to date for me to start stacking so I just got to the basics initially😊👍
They are easy to get and easy to sell. ✅
Thanks for sharing.
Austrian Stacker you know it! 😁🔥🐉
ML are perfect, it's good to have at least a tube of each country, some countries coin are ridiculously overpriced but still it's good having a tube for collection purposes
gene Pohlemann yeah I agree a tube is nice to have for sure! 🔥🐉
@ Silver Dragons. Where are you finding these Silver Maples for $2 under spot?
This is my very first silver coin and i really like it 😎👍
Love the CML low premium, great details, not worried about spilled milk
Calzone yes I do like the low premiums and the Maple leaf design! 🔥🐉
In the city where I live Edmonton Alberta Canada they charge a $2 premium on Canadian maple Leafs yet when you go to sell them back they do not give you back your $2 premium they actually also take a 5% premium and give you 95% when you sell it back. My opinion is that here in Canada it's better to go with just bulk silver rather than Canadian maple leafs cuz you don't make your $2 back.
WeeBee Gold and Silver I see... that is a bummer! I get more of a premium back down here in Oregon! 😮🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 That's totally backwards hey lol but that's Canada for ya.
Trade PM stocks. No commissions anymore.
Just bought me an 89 maple. I like the older ones better lol
Bullion Bully B-Clay lol thin neck lizzy! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Just bough an ‘88. My birth year.
it is good for staking indeed. when it is low on premium.
NicholasKon9 yes gotta get them on sale! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Is there a video to highlight old and new 1 Oz maple leaf silver coin?
For example 1997 vs 2022?
Where would I start to find silver maples @ 2$ above market? Im in Canada, new to stacking silver and can only find retail prices.
Where can you find these coins for around $2.00? That's impossible. Their prices starts at $30.00.
Here's a question. You buy a strongbox of silver eagles from a supplier with a decent reputation. The box comes sealed from the mint. Should you open it to verify the contents? How to really know what's inside the strongbox without opening it? What if a crafty person faked the seal and replaced its contents? Opening the seal makes it is harder to sell the strongbox in the future, right?
Paul Schuyler I would leave it sealed personally.... once you own them you can do whatever you want with them though 😏 it would be super hard to fake a whole box I think. I have never seen one anyways 🔥🐉
You know I love the Maples. I have several different years. Hubby B picked up some 1991’s , 93’s and 99’s all just above Spot. Luckily enough there is only one that has a spot on it. They are all sealed in their Mint packaging.🤞☺️👩🦳🏵
Lady Bullion that is super cool! they can be fun to collect for sure 😁🔥🐉
Great video but you forgot to mention the newer security feature of the tiny maple leaf with the year in it on the Reverse side at the approximate 5 O'clock position. A magnifying glass may be required to fully appreciate it,
Human that is a Small leaf 😂 the perth mint does the same thing 🔥🐉
Great video my friend. I don't have a lot of them but I do like them. Thanks for sharing.
Alexander R De Voogt thanks! I like the maple leaf side 😁🔥🐉
25 in a tube? I just ordered 20, should have watched this last week
Funny You Made This Video After My Commit Looks Like You Were Thinking Of Me Thanks !!
steelersjourney11111 😂😂😂 don’t worry I got you 😁🔥🐉
you got it backwards bud they do the heating after the pressing the furnace anneals the coins after they been pressed to realign the grains if they didnt do this process the coinds would crack from the stress
I need some clarification and advice, is there any cons to buying any year Silver Maple Leafs vs 2021 coins? If I could get the any year ones for cheaper, is that the way to go? Any advice is much appreciated
What about Japanese colored 1000 yen Prefectural 1 oz silver commemorative coins?
Do you also think they're a good investment?
I LOVE your videos.
I apologize if I asked you this before, but what camera are you using for this video? Additionally, how are you mounting it in front of you?
Another OverTaxed TaxPayer thanks so much! I use my iphone11 pro max to get 4k and I just place it on a phone tripod 🤷🏽♂️ they are like $10 on amazon 🔥🐉
That phone has incredible video quality up close. Might have to try one myself
Another OverTaxed TaxPayer nice I would recommend! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Thank you for your response.
Love the Maple's it's the majority of my stack🇨🇦
2hearitnow very cool! they are beautiful 🔥🐉
I’ve got a 1994 that was sealed in RCM plastic. Upon opening, there’s no nice “ping” sound to my coin. I’ve ordered rare earth magnets to now check my silver. I’m not very happy with this Maple leaf. Ever heard of fake Maple Leaf coins being sold in RCM packaging? Thanks!
Where did you buy it? eBay ?
Thanks for the ..Mint Shield Technology..info ..hope other mints will follow
John Allen for sure! the US Mint has decent quality but they could improve 😏🔥🐉
I am a little confused about the $5 CAD value....does the coin value not follow spot prices if used in open commerce (at a store)?
Do you only get spot value if you sell them in the bullion market? If sold in bullion market, would these be more valuable than generic rounds?
Thanks
That's called the face value. They are legal tender in Canada. That meaning if you go to a store in Canada they are obliged to accept them at face value.
As for their market value, you of course can only get that value when you sell them on the market.
They carry slightly more value than generic silver, but nothing to rely on. The real value is they are minted by a trusted mint and everyone knows what they are.
My Maple Leafs don't make the same satisfying 'ping' that my Silver Eagles, Britannias, and all other 80%+ silver coins make. Any idea why?
While I'd never turn down the _gift_ of a Maple Leaf, what I buy for my own stack are ASEs, Libertads, Aztec Calendars (out of Florida, apparently), and recently Apmex's Route 66 New Mexico "rounds", each being 1-oz of silver (and I also stack constitutional silver). I figure local folks with whom I may one day do business (bartering) will recognize and be more interested in these coins and rounds than in silver from the very far away Great White North, England, Australia, China, etc.
Debby S-AbqNM lol I hope you would not turn down free silver 😁🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 -- your darn tootin I wouldn't turn it down! 😂😀😍🤩😮😊
The milking spots scare me prior to 2018!
Rita Doyle lol you and me both 🔥🐉
