1 oz Maple Leaf Gold Coin - Specimen with Defect

Pure ounce of investment gold at a lower price - no compromise on metal content

Maple Leaf is the flagship bullion coin of the Royal Canadian Mint and one of the world's most popular investment coins. Each piece contains exactly one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold with the highest fineness of 999.9/1000 - one of the highest purity standards used in investment bullion.

This specimen has been marked as damaged. The defect may include minor scratches on the coin's surface, capsule scratches, or damage to the manufacturer's blister/packaging. The gold content and weight remain unchanged. For this reason, the price is lower than for a specimen in mint condition, but the metal value remains intact.

Who is this product for?

• For investors focused on pure gold exposure who don't care about collector condition,
• For people building a larger precious metals portfolio and looking for lower premiums over spot,
• For buyers wanting to minimize the cost per ounce of investment gold.

Technical specification

Why "damaged" doesn't mean "worse"?

In gold investment, only the pure metal content matters - not the aesthetics of the packaging or surface condition. Specimens marked as damaged are offered with reduced premiums and are popular with investors pursuing a strategy of accumulating gold at the lowest possible cost. When reselling, gold buyers price such coins by weight at the current spot rate, regardless of cosmetic condition.
