Canadian Silver Coins

Silver coins are a great way to acquire exposure to beautiful coins as well as silver. Consider purchasing a silver Maple Leaf coin. It is the official Canadian silver bullion coin and has been minted every year since 1988 by the Royal Canadian Mint and is one of the best-selling bullion coins on the globe.

This legal-tender coin weighs 1-troy-ounce and has a face value of $5 Canadian dollars. The $5 face value is the highest of any international silver bullion coin. In addition, the Silver Maple Leaf has the highest degree of purity of any government-minted silver bullion coin, coming in at 99.99% pure silver. Other bullion silver coins are normally struck at 99.9% silver. 

Charlotte Mint Gold Coins

Gold may be a better investment than silver. One of the most interesting series of gold coins are those that the United States minted at the Charlotte, NC mint during the Civil War era. The Charlotte Mint produced US gold coinage from 1838 until 1861.

Coins struck at this mint have been and continue to be excellent investments. All of the coins that were minted at Charlotte are considered scarce. Therefore, not only do they have value because of their gold content but also because of their numismatic value. Check them out, they are very cool!
