<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 545069, member: 15588&quot;]For some reason I&#039;ve always favored the gold Canadian Maple Leaf, despite the much discussed criticisms. I have more of these than any other gold coin and I always gravitate to them first. Maybe I just like the leaf?</p><p><br /></p><p>Nonetheless, I am annoyed by the .99999 gimmick recently foisted on collectors. How much difference in purity does one ten thousandth really make? Plus, the pre-1982 .999 variety sometimes gets the raspberries thanks to all those extra 9s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never been a big fan of the American gold eagles. The combination of the low purity with the somewhat diluted modernization of Saint Gaudens&#039; design just doesn&#039;t do it for me. The buffalos look tasty, though... I have yet to get one (they usually sell waaaaay over spot price). </p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m a leafer. So be it.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/pix/maple_leaf_coin.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
