1 oz Maple Leaf Gold Coin - Specimen with Defect

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

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 buyers 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 bullion gold.

Technical specification

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

For bullion gold, 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 buyers 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.
