Canadian Maple Leaf

[Pkg Man]

I just got my Canadian Maple leaf coins and boy are they nice.  I think it may be a better looking coin that the Gold Eagle.  I suppose it should be, given that it is pure gold, unlike other coins which use alloys.

I was planning on sticking with Krugerrands, but at the time I purchased the spread between spot was quite a bit lower for the Maple Leaf.  Glad I went with it.

I'm surprised you would say that.  I think the eagle coins are stunning, while the maple leafs are a bit less detailed.  

The 24k gold is shinier than the 22k.  That does jump out at you.

Krugerrands are not exciting to me.  It's gold, but IMHO a much less interesting coin than the two above.

As far as pure beauty in a bullion coin, I think the silver eagle is hard to beat.  That's a great looking coin.

Maybe I just have a thing for QEII 

Yep, I'm looking at an ASE now, and it is a nice coin (and a very nice return of 20% since I bought several months ago).  I have the bullion version, not the one sold by the Treasury, which is apparently an even shinier coin.
