<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tommy83, post: 2623382, member: 84415&quot;]Years ago I bought some tubes of Canadian silver maples. Beautiful coins that did eventually get milk spots, although I did take them out of their tubes a few times and was not the best caretaker. I sold them and I believe I got a little over spot for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will probably never buy tubes of silver maples again for various reasons. (1) Silver takes up too much space, (2) the premium on silver coins typically greatly exceeds that of gold coins (prefer buying NYSE: SLV for my silver exposure) and (3) I prefer the ASE’s to maples for the small amount of physical I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did, however, buy the silver maple leaf privy marks for collecting purposes. Beautiful reverse proof coins. I keep them in air-tite holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have some gold maple leafs. The premium on these tends to be lower than other gold coins. I think the key is getting good prices and being opportunistic. eBay specials have had uncirculated $25 above spot. The gold maple leafs tend to be smaller (diameter) than the other coins but are quite thick. I do prefer the American Eagles and Buffalos to the maple leafs, but that is just personal preference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
