Canadian Maple Leaf Coins are the official bullion coins of Canada made by the Royal Canadian Mint. They come in the metals of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf was designed by Walter Ott and has been minted since 1979. It is made of .9999 fine gold with almost no base metals mined only in Canada. It is made in 1/20 oz worth $1C, 1/10 oz worth $5C, 1/4 oz worth $10C, 1/2 oz worth $20C, and 1 oz worth $50C. The obverse of the coin has Queen Elizabeth II and the reverse has a picture of a Canadian Maple Leaf. There are two different variations of the obverse, 39-year old Elizabeth II and 64-year old Elizabeth II.
TheCanadian Maple Leaf silver dollar has been minted since 1988. It is made of 1 ounce of .9999 fine silver and is worth $5C. It has an average mintage of 935,680 coins per year. There has been many different variations to this coin including the Privy Mark Silver Maple Leaf, the Coloured Silver Maple Leaf, the Hologram Silver Maple Leaf, and the Olympic Maple Leaf. The obverse of the coin has one of three pictures of Elizabeth II, at age 39, age 64, and age 79. The reverse has a picture of the Canadian Maple Leaf.
The Canadian Platinum Maple Leaf was minted from 1988 to 1999 and then again in 2002. It was made of .9995 fine platinum in 1/20 oz worth $1C, 1/10 oz worth $5C, 1/4 oz worth $10C, 1/2 oz worth $20C, and 1 oz worth $50C.

The Canadian Palladium Maple Leaf started being minted in 2005 and has continued to be minted since. It is made of 1 ounce of .9995 fine palladium. The obverse has a picture of Queen Elizabeth II at age 79 and the reverse has a picture of a Canadian Maple Leaf.

The hobby of collecting old paper money is still much less widespread than stamp and coin collecting, although interest is growing every year. Many stamp and coin collectors are now considering banknotes as the promising new collecting frontier. The hobby holds many of the same pleasures as stamp and coin collecting: One gets the same thrill at finding that elusive item to fill a gap in a series or a set. There is the same reverence one feels for owning something that has been preserved in perfect condition for a hundred years. There is the same satisfaction of travelling to a collector's fair to hunt down bargains and meet fellow enthusiasts and develop one's knowledge.

Buy two Krugers though, and quantity price breaks make krugerrands cheaper, and therefore a better buy. Also while it is true that larger bars, such as one kilo ones sell for a lower percentage premium than krugerrands, they are not as easy to resell. Only a specialist gold dealer is likely to give you a good purchase price for gold bars, and then often with less enthusiasm than for krugerrands, sovereigns, or other highly marketable coins

There are two types of coins, those bought for their rarity or numismatic value and those bought for their precious metal bullion value. I recommend buying a one troy ounce bullion gold coin because they are much more affordable than numismatics and also for the same price you will get much more gold metal content which is the whole point of buying the coin (gold attracts wealth). Now that we have decided to buy a one troy once bullion coin, there are many selections. There are 22 karat coins and also 24 karat coins. Due to their durability, I recommend buying a 22 karat coin because they are much more resistant to nicks and scratches. The two best 22 karat coins to invest in are South African Krugerrands and US American Eagles. If you decide to go the 24 karat route, US Buffalos and Canadian Maple Leafs are the best choices. All four of these coins are very popular and readily exchangeable at coin dealers all around the world.

Have you ever held a gold coin in your hand? It's amazing! When you first hold a gold coin, the luster and weight immediately tell you why gold coins have been the standard in storing wealth for all of human history. So what do gold coins have to do with saving money for your mortgage down payment? It's actually very simple: gold attracts wealth. Some people call it attraction, others call it luck. Whichever you prefer, if you own a gold coin you will earn more income. Wealth will be attracted to you and you will save enough money for your down payment sooner than if you did not own the coin. Buy a gold coin and give your luck a boost.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
people could connect with it better. Youve got an
awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures. Maybe
you could space it out better?
