I'm thinking of saving my $20 a month coin budget for a few months and get a silver ounce from Canada, I really like some of the new bullion they have out. Anyhow, I'm not sure yet what I will get, but for long term enjoyment, should I get... A. Just a random one from an online bullion dealer like apmex. B. A graded one. C. One from the royal mint, in government packaging.
These guys sell all of the Royal Canadian Mint products ... they seem to be able to sell them at the original mint prices (they have all of the new modern coins, plus they have an amazing selection of older Canadian coins and Dominion of Canada coins) http://www.colonialacres.com/category/1487/2014-rcm-items => yup, I have always been very pleased with Colonial Acres' service
My local coins stores have Maple Leaves for about $24 right now. You should be able to find one on ebay for around that shipped, as well.
You get the one you like the most. Do anything else and you may find yourself second guessing if it was the right choice.
What happened to saving your money to move/start a coinshop/write a book? Seriously, Tim, start applying your income toward your future. You're no longer a kid.
