<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 839736, member: 3011&quot;]A number of years ago I contacted ScotiaBank in Canada and talked to one of their bullion analysts about a related issue as it related to Maple Leafs.&nbsp; At the time, silver was about $6 per ounce and I was interested in the coins since they had a $5 face value.&nbsp; It seemed that buying the coin was like purchasing silver with a put option attached to it.&nbsp; The analyst explained that the legal tender status of the coins had the purpose of avoiding certain excise taxes when the coins crossed international borders, but it did not mean that the coins would be accepted at face value by Canadian banks if silver dropped below $5 in price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
