<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 26388, member: 1101&quot;]It really should make no difference as an investment, unless you are buying the gold coins to melt down, in which case you would want .9999.&nbsp; If you are going to keep the coins as is, you would want the lower gold fineness for durability.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a myth that .999 (or.9999) bullion coins such as the Maple Leaf contain more gold than the AE, since the AE is not .999 pure.&nbsp; But, the AE also CONTAINS one ounce of pure gold.&nbsp; If you weigh the coin, it should weigh more than one ounce due to the extra alloying metals.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, the MP is made of .9999 fine gold and weighs one ounce.&nbsp; The AE is minted of gold that is just over 90% pure, but it has more than one ounce of that alloy. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you boil off the other metals, it all comes down to one ounce of pure gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
