I think it's the most logical coin for Americans to get. It's hard to counterfeit, higher purity and if SHTF and you needed to flee to Canada then you have Canadian currency which will certainly be allowed in with no problems. It's globally recognized and I love the finish on RCM products.
Rusty Shackleford the only issue is the higher FV if you flee to Canada it’s nice to have a smaller FV like the 5 ounce ATB coins which are 25¢ FV each... as opposed to the $5 FV on maples... 🤷🏽♂️🔥🐉

@@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.
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. 💿👑
Electronic Solutions better for medicine but not stacking necessarily... 999 is the industry standard for bullion. did you know Perth made a gold plate that was 9999999 fine?!? 😏🔥🐉
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 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.
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.
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.
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 :)

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.
Wonderful coin! I am from the UK and I am buying a monster box of these coins next month. I am storing them in The Cayman Islands to avoid the 20% tax that they slap on silver in Europe and Britain with the exception of Switzerland. This also brings forward the question of why the European and British governments levy such a high tax charge on silver but not gold? Do they know something we don’t? 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.
@@oldmanjenkins771 I really really miss those premiums. I'm paying more for silver than I ever thought I would. Guess it doesn't matter until my stack gets where I need it
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.

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 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.
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...
They are stunning when the milk spot doesn't show up. The leaf is like a strobe light, really impressive looking stuff. Personally I prefer Constitutional by the weight, wear doesn't matter, but of course it doesn't matter what you as the buyer think it's what the next person in line to buy prefers.
@@SilverDragons47 I am a "minimalist stacker" at the moment, not paying any premiums for high end stuff being early to the game but I do think these are quite incredible and without the milk spots are unreal. One of your videos the leaf looked like a strobe light lol.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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. 💿👑
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.
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!
Stackers: Milk spotting is only bad if it reduces how much silver is in the coin, otherwise I'm fine with it Collectors: Get your disgusting milk spot off my maple
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😊👍.
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.🤞☺️👩🦳🏵

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.
Wow congratulations your 15,000 Supported keep up with great work making awesome video's and keep Stacking My friend!!! :D And Hit Like button!!! :D Aka I love Collect Canada Silver Maple Leaf Silver Bullion Coins!!! :D
Haha wow what a difference 6 months makes! Can't get a maple leaf for under 20% min above spot. I see regularly at 28-35% above spot and that's from very reputable online dealers and local coin shops.
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.
I just recevied canadian mapple today. It sounds diffent than my other coins. May I ask a ping test? Could you please confirm it has a short cycle sound?
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
Is buying online a rip off on sites like APMEX? There are no coin shops or dealers near where I live. I don't want to pay 5-9 dollars over spot for silver.

Personally I prefer Constitutional by the weight, wear doesn't matter, but of course it doesn't matter what you as the buyer think it's what the next person in line to buy prefers.
carlos danger I do really like the finish that they put on them 👍🏽🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 I am a "minimalist stacker" at the moment, not paying any premiums for high end stuff being early to the game but I do think these are quite incredible and without the milk spots are unreal. One of your videos the leaf looked like a strobe light lol.
carlos danger yeah you should see the hologram ones 😂
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?
@@rustyshackleford2719 I agree! Love the Royal arms! And the Britannia bars.
Ninja Stacking I do like the britannia’s as well! sometime they can be cheaper if they are on sale 🤷🏽♂️🔥🐉
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 😂🔥🐉
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.
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
milkspots were RCM cheapo version of anti counterfeiting... if it didn't have spots better test it 😄
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! 🔥🐉
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
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! 🔥🐉
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.
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.
This video was recommended just in time 👍🏻
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! 🔥🐉
The best, so are the 1.5 ounce $8 polar bear and polar bear with the cub. They feel like treasure!!
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.
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! 🔥🐉
They are easy to get and easy to sell. ✅
Thanks for sharing.
Austrian Stacker you know it! 😁🔥🐉
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 👍🏽🔥🐉
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 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 😜🔥🐉
almost filled my first tube:)
Leeroy Stackman that is great! stack on my friend! 🔥🐉
This is my very first silver coin and i really like it 😎👍
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! 🔥🐉
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.
They don't add copper to silver maple leaf coins; what are you talking about?
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN !
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.
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!
Stackers: Milk spotting is only bad if it reduces how much silver is in the coin, otherwise I'm fine with it
Collectors: Get your disgusting milk spot off my maple
me: you cand drink the milk first. Win-win situation.
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! 🔥🐉
Canada beautiful coins.
@ Silver Dragons. Where are you finding these Silver Maples for $2 under spot?
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😊👍
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 😁🔥🐉
25 in a tube? I just ordered 20, should have watched this last week
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 🔥🐉
Love the Silver Maples. They will always have a place in my stack.
Dan Fisher for sure! I need to get more 😁🔥🐉
Prob most pure and recognizable precious metal series coins... the best in my oppinion...
Ryan Burdon they are great for stacking! 👍🏽🔥🐉
People need to chill with hating on the queen. There is nothing wrong with her, or the coin
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 🔥🐉
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.
Funny You Made This Video After My Commit Looks Like You Were Thinking Of Me Thanks !!
steelersjourney11111 😂😂😂 don’t worry I got you 😁🔥🐉
Milk spots are nothing.. it's a billion coin... All that matters is the silver content..
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.
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! 🔥🐉
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.
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.
Love the Maple's it's the majority of my stack🇨🇦
2hearitnow very cool! they are beautiful 🔥🐉
Wow congratulations your 15,000 Supported keep up with great work making awesome video's and keep Stacking My friend!!! :D And Hit Like button!!! :D
Aka I love Collect
Canada Silver Maple Leaf Silver Bullion Coins!!! :D
OcOmegaShadow Stacking thanks so much my friend! 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 you're very welcome my friend!!! :D
THe best silver to buy hands down, no comp is silver dimes and quarters.
Bob Silver you know it! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Haha wow what a difference 6 months makes! Can't get a maple leaf for under 20% min above spot. I see regularly at 28-35% above spot and that's from very reputable online dealers and local coin shops.
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! 😂😀😍🤩😮😊
Can you do a video like this on the Britannia?
MARCO'S RANT 👍🏽🔥🐉
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?
The milking spots scare me prior to 2018!
Rita Doyle lol you and me both 🔥🐉
How are you able to purchase these for such low premiums? I've been looking to buy minted silver and the premium is always like $10 (CAD) over spot.
Great video my friend. I don't have a lot of them but I do like them. Thanks for sharing.
Alexander R De Voogt thanks! I like the maple leaf side 😁🔥🐉
Where would I start to find silver maples @ 2$ 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.
I just recevied canadian mapple today. It sounds diffent than my other coins. May I ask a ping test? Could you please confirm it has a short cycle sound?
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
Is buying online a rip off on sites like APMEX? There are no coin shops or dealers near where I live. I don't want to pay 5-9 dollars over spot for silver.
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 😏🔥🐉
