2013 Canada 1/10 oz Gold Maple Leaf BU

I purchased one silver and one gold coin. I am very much satisfied with the product quality and shipping service.

Have been buying silver since it is affordable at this time, but wanted to diversify with gold. Can't afford whole ounces with an ounce being over $1,300 at the time of this review. I do like how fractionals such as this 1/10th that I bought can be purchased for not alot of money if you take the time to save a few dollars and not be stuck with all or nothing with coming up with the money to buy whole ounces. I also like how shipping costs have gone down as well. I made this order on Friday afternoon, and it was delivered to me on Monday.

I love the design of this coin. APMEX had a special on them and I took the plunge. I do wish it came in a capsule but it's ok that it didn't. 1/10oz is small but not too small where you can't see it.

I wanted to have an ounce of small denomination gold for barter, and the Canadian 1/10th Maple Leaf was the cheapest gold I could get, ounce for ounce. Through APMEX, the coins came in mint sealed mylar pouches, so I needed to decide whether I wanted to leave them in the pouches, or remove them and put them into 16mm Air-Tite capsules, as I had originally intended. After some thought, I decided to cut off only the tips of the pouch corners and then put them in larger Air-Tite capsules (32mm or 34mm - I don't remember which?). This way, the mint capsules are still intact, and the Air-Tites further protect the coins!

A beautiful coin! Perfect for someone making a small purchase. Even though the coin is very small, the detail of the artwork is beautiful.
