1 oz Maple Leaf Gold Coin | Mixed Years | Second Grade
The 1 oz Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin in the Mixed Years | Second Grade option is an excellent choice for investors who want to buy a full ounce of gold at a more attractive price while accepting minor visual imperfections. Each coin contains 31.1035 g (1 oz) of pure gold with a fineness of 999.9/1000 and has been struck by the renowned Royal Canadian Mint.
The term "second grade" means that the coins may show small scratches, contact marks from other coins, light discoloration or minor visual imperfections resulting from transport, storage or previous handling. However, this does not affect the gold content, weight, fineness or intrinsic metal value. That makes this option a practical solution for investors who care primarily about the amount of gold they own rather than a flawless visual condition.
The coins come from mixed years, which means the specific year of issue is selected at random depending on current availability. Regardless of the year, the 1 oz Maple Leaf remains one of the most recognised gold bullion coins in the world, valued for its liquidity, credibility and ease of resale.
At GoldInvest24, every gold coin is supplied as standard in a protective plastic capsule, which helps protect the surface and makes secure storage in a safe, deposit box or private collection much easier.
