The saying "gold is gold" or "silver is silver" sounds good, its a nice saying, but the truth is further from the truth
When you try to offload some of your metals, or at least start to look into it, that is when you realize the truth
The truth is some pieces are worth more than others
The gold maple leaf for example can be sold for more than a random gold bar of the same weight
The difference is even larger in platnium
A platinum 1 oz maple leaf can be sold for over 10% more than a random 1 oz platinum bar
This wild difference in price needs to be considered when buying your pieces
The American Eagle is another piece that you can get a good price for when you sell
I have gone through a transformation where I am being very picky with what I am buying.
There seems to still be a great opportunity to stack up on 10 oz silver coins and 1 oz gold maple leafs while getting the best possible rates out there
Then of course you have those collectible coins that are WAYYYYY above anything else
007 always has a collection, many other brands have their own coins. I saw the video game Call of Duty have their own coin
many of these are 3-4x the price of their counterparts
1oz of silver for $100+ is a tough sell but if its for sentimental gifting then why not surely the market is pricing them just right
The maple leaf seems to be the #1 piece to go for when speaking about purely getting the most for your buck
