Those who are interested in collecting are often bewildered at the wide variety of coins that are available. Mints from many different countries offer collectable coins and other novelties. The problem for a beginning collector is finding a unique coin that starts the collection but is also guaranteed to increase in value. For starting a coin collection, we recommend beginning with the relatively cheap 1/25oz Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin. Why? Because it’s cheap, looks amazing, and also has a decent amount of intrinsic value.

Buy.

For someone starting a coin collection, it’s important to choose something that represents a solid value. The Gold Maple Leaf retails from the Canadian Mint at $99.95 Canadian and has 1/25oz of gold. Since gold is hovering around the $1000 mark, this means that the gold market value of the coin is currently around the $50 US mark (or about $60 CDN). Considering the fact that gold has more than doubled over the past 10 years, it’s certainly not implausible that the sheer value of this gold coin will be more than $100 in the next decade. Add on the fact that Canadian Mint coins are of excellent quality, only 15,000 are minted every year, and that they are regarded as some of the best coins in the world, and it’s easy to see why you will likely be able to sell the gold Maple Leaf at a profit in the future.

It’s very easy to see why this coin makes an excellent starter to any collection. From there, we recommend expanding by adding some of the more expensive gold coins. For those wishing to continue with the Canadian theme, we might suggest the new limited edition Vancouver 2010 coins. These beautifully colored gold coins are $499.95 and represent a one-time occasion, thus all but ensuring its continued value appreciation for decades to come.
