I have a Canadian maple leaf does anyone know where I can sell it?? Thanks, Luigi
Why would you sell it as long as the price of gold is increasing so fast?
Any coin dealer or even e-bay.
Honest, market prices, want repeat customers.
Call them and they'll be able to handle everything by mail.
I’ll give you 50 bucks for it.
Look for “coin dealers” in your local area. Or jewelers or pawnshops if you don’t have an actual coin dealer.
If you deal with a pawnshop, don’t let them rip you off by giving you the “junk gold” price. A Maple Leaf is one troy ounce of pure fine gold. They should pay you the current spot price, minus a small percentage for their commission.
I bought when gold was around $700. I think what goes up must come down
You mail it to me!
In a week or less, I guarantee you will have a postal money order for $500.00
;-)
There are plenty of places to sell it. Any local coin shop should offer you about 98% of current Ask price on it. I use http://www.kitco.com/market as the URL to show me current Gold and Silver prices.
Read Consumer Reports. They say that the prices are going to hit $1500 an ounce.
You might want to keep it a bit longer.
Why trade the real deal for nearly worthless paper?
Any coin shop should deal in the precious metal market. Jewelry stores may or may not buy gold, you will always get the spot price on ebay as well.
Keep it. Gold will easily reach $1500 before (and if) the democrats are ousted from power.
Time out. Cale em up and ask em first what they are charging for a maple leaf. Lots of dealers are charging spot plus a hefty markup due to the scarcity of bullion coins. They should pay spot plus a solid percentage of their markup as well.
Yikes.
“cale” = call
I’ve always just used a local coin shop. They buy at market price and sell at 5% over.
That's a certainty then.
Thats fair. Its cool out so the chocolate sandwiched in the middle wont melt during shipping
Actually I was gonna sell it and buy silver
Chocolate!!
Then that’s a darn good deal, after all, can’t eat tungsten!!
BTW, thats for 1 oz coins. Markups are higher buying smaller coins, and of course for older/rare coins. But you should get the spot price selling maple leafs.
Good advice.
We are in a long term bear market for the dollar - and that means Gold and other commodities will probably be the place wise investors put their money. Buy a copy of Peter Schiff's "Crash Proof 2.0". Read it before you become satisfied with a $300 profit on your gold piece. Then buy more. It may have some ups and downs - but long term Gold is Golden...probably until at least 2012 or 2013. I believe that a top of $1800 and ounce is probable.
My coin shop pays spot + 1.5 percent. They say they can’t keep gold in the store. As soon as someone sells, someone is waiting to buy right behind them. Don’t see to much changing that would get me to sell right now!
In the 70’s gold got to the equivalent of $2300/oz. in today’s dollars...I would hold...
With the morons running the country into the ground, not to mention the ones at the Fed running the currency into the ground too, hold.........
Why do you want to sell?
This is by any stretch of the imagination NOT the top of the market. Wait a year or so when our dollar is completely worthless.
Not a bad idea, as the gold to silver ratio is about 63/1. However, there seems to be a disconect between gold and silver right now. Silver sould be worth much more than it is according to gold price.
We have almost reached the point of no return in paying the deficit. If this madness continues we won’t even be able to pay the interest, then we re surely sunk. It gonna be good to have either silver or gold if that happens!
A lot of Nigerians will be able to help you! I am sure they’ll tell you how to ship it to Lagos. :-)
With the news of Dubai defaulting, you should hold on to it for a few more days... you’ll make more on the deal!
Since The Current FDR might outlaw gold by EO, I think silver would be a wise choice. I am into silver dimes which are still legal tender unlike the Bullion coins. If you have gold coins, get them out of a SD box, where like FDR, BHO can seize them, paying not the market, 1100+, but the official which I think is around $44. Just another tax on you filthy rich bast***s who have been robbing the poor all these years. Like HE told Joe the Plumber, we gotta spread the wealth.
barbra ann
I’ll give you 100 dollars for it......back to you now smoking frog......:O)
I will send you a check for $5000 for it.
Just deduct the current price of gold, send me the coin, and the remaining balance in cash
OK?
Coin shop, and if you are going to buy silver with your payment, chat up the coin dealer and see if you could work out a swap of Gold for Silver.
1180 dollars is what..70oz’s of silver? A couple of pounds worth at least.
Or
You can repocket your 700 dollars you paid for the Gold and buy Silver with the “profit”.
Metalheads are the worst about taking a profit, “oh, it will go up further’ and yeah Gold probably will, however you cannot get burned taking profit, you can get burned if gold drops below 700...
Ill take it!! Let me know what you want.
www.goldmastersusa.com is legit and they are very fair.
You asked: Where can a zimbabwe villager take a coin for food.
I have friends there. The answer is that there was a huge black market.
And when I sent an African nun some cash through the mail (which is illegal, but it did go through) she took a bus down to the border at Beitbridge, bought food with the money and brought it home.
What’s your price, I have cash!
Selling into a rally is how money is made. Selling into a decline is a way to lose money.
Trying to call a top (or bottom) is a sucker's game.
Sell it to those that have all that worthless cash. They're everywhere.
Smart move, IMHO.

I said $1,800 an ounce because I am a Conservative.
I agree that it could go much higher - particularly if Obama's schemes such as Healthcare and Cap and Trade get enacted. Your # is not out of line!!!
