The 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin is a great way to buy gold coins and own them in small fractional gold coin sizes which are both guaranteed by the Canadian government and easy to trade.
Some of the benefits of buying gold coins like 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf Coins include:
One tenth ounce Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin prices are based on the world’s fluctuating spot gold price.
When physical gold bullion coin supplies cannot properly meet bullion investor demand, the premiums or price for 1/10th ounce Gold Maple Leaf Coins can dramatically rise over the gold spot price (e.g. fall of 2008 gold coin shortage).
Official Canadian 24k fractional 1/10 oz gold coins also have low $5 CAD legal tender face values (compared to their gold bullion coin market price). This fact assures these fine .9999 gold coins will not actively compete with Canada’s current fiat currency, the Canadian dollar (CAD).
In terms of overall sales volumes, 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins are one of the most highly sold one tenth ounce 24k gold coins currently produced by a government mint. Official 1/10 oz Canadian gold coins also demand some of the gold bullion industry’s highest gold buy prices (the price gold dealers are bidding or buying these 1/10 oz gold coins back at from investors).
Gold dealers, like us here at Kitco Metals, generally pay a price above the fluctuating gold spot price when buying 1/10 oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins back from individual investors.
Canadian Maple Leaf 1/10 oz gold coins demand some of the highest gold selling prices amongst other competing government minted fractional gold coins (e.g. fractional 1/10 oz South African Gold Krugerrand coins).
In summation, a one tenth ounce Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin’s value will usually be slightly higher both when (1) buying and (2) selling them than compared to other less popular fractional 1/10 oz gold coins and fractional 1/10 oz gold bullion bars.
The one tenth oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf Coin’s front bears the familiar right-profile portrait of Queen ELIZABETH II. Her Majesty’s effigy is framed by explicit engravings of her name, the year of coin mintage, and the $5 CAD legal tender face value of this .9999 fine 1/10 oz gold coin.
The backside of the 1/10 oz Gold Canadian Maple Leaf Coin features the iconic Canadian Maple Leaf as well as an explicit stamping of ‘9999 FINE GOLD 1/10 OZ OR PUR 9999’ (English / French respectively).
