The Purity Factor
24-Carat Excellence Unmatched Purity.
The Canadian Gold Maple Leaf occupies a unique position in the global bullion market. While most traded gold coins including the Krugerrand are struck in 22-carat gold (91.67% pure), the Maple Leaf is produced to a standard of .9999 fine gold, meaning 99.99% pure. This is not a marginal difference. It makes the Maple Leaf one of the most chemically pure large bullion coins ever produced for mass distribution.
First struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in 1979, the coin was created in direct response to demand for a purer alternative to existing bullion coins. The Mint achieved what was then considered the technical limit of commercial gold coin production and the Maple Leaf has maintained that standard for over four decades.
At Unique Jewelry Now, we understand this distinction. Every 1oz Gold Maple Leaf contains exactly 31.104 grams of pure gold and because the coin is 24-carat, that figure is exact. No copper alloy to account for. No purity deduction. Your offer from us reflects that premium purity, calculated from live LBMA spot data on the day of valuation.
Royal Canadian Mint — A Global Standard
The Royal Canadian Mint is considered one of the finest minting operations on earth. The Maple Leaf’s distinctive radial-line finish the light-diffracting pattern across the coin’s surface was introduced in 1979 and requires precise tooling that few mints can replicate. It is both a security feature and a hallmark of quality.

How We Value Your Coins
Transparent Valuation. No Estimates.
When your Canadian Maple Leafs arrive at our London Valuation Centre, they are handled by specialists who understand the specific value of 24-carat bullion. Not generalists. Not pawnbrokers. Valuers whose expertise is in precious metals investment coins.
We combine three precise inputs: the exact weight of each coin confirmed on calibrated scales, the live LBMA gold spot price from the morning of valuation, and XRF purity verification to confirm the .9999 fine gold standard. For special or proof Maple Leafs, we additionally assess any numismatic premium above raw bullion value.
Key Fact — Maple Leaf vs Other Bullion Coins
Every 1oz Gold Maple Leaf contains exactly one troy ounce (31.104g) of pure gold. Because they are 24-carat, they often receive a different valuation calculation than 22-carat coins like Krugerrands. We apply the correct methodology for each coin type you are never undervalued due to an incorrect calculation.
What You Need to Know
Honest, direct answers to the most common questions about selling Gold Canadian Maple Leafs with Unique Jewelry Now.
The value of your Maple Leaf is calculated from two inputs: the weight of gold it contains and the live daily gold spot price from the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association). A 1oz Maple Leaf contains 31.104 grams of .9999 pure gold. Multiply that by the current gold price per gram and that is your base value. We apply the LBMA morning rate on the day we receive and assess your coins. Because gold prices fluctuate daily, the exact figure changes but you always receive today’s real market rate, not a fixed estimate.
Yes — for standard bullion Maple Leafs, condition does not affect the bullion value payout. A circulated 1oz Maple Leaf with light scratches contains exactly the same 31.104 grams of .9999 pure gold as a pristine one. We pay for the metal, not the appearance. The one exception is proof or special edition Maple Leafs in exceptional condition these carry a numismatic premium that can be reduced by significant damage. We assess both elements and explain the breakdown clearly before you decide.
With our system, yes. Every pack uses Royal Mail Special Delivery — the UK postal service’s most secure option, with end-to-end tracking and full insurance coverage for the declared value. Your coins are sealed in a padded, tamper-evident envelope. If anything were to go wrong in transit (which in our 10,000+ postal transactions has never happened), your coins are insured for their full declared value and we manage the claims process on your behalf. Keep your proof of postage receipt for the tracking number.
Because your offer is calculated on pure gold content. A 1oz Krugerrand (22ct, 91.67% pure) weighs 33.93g total but contains only 31.103g of pure gold. A 1oz Maple Leaf (.9999, 99.99% pure) weighs 31.104g — and all of that weight is essentially pure gold. The calculation methodology differs: for Maple Leafs, we apply spot price to the full coin weight with a negligible purity factor. This precision matters at scale for large collections, even fractional differences in the calculation produce significantly different totals.
Yes, we buy every denomination including the 1/20oz. It contains 1.555 grams of .9999 pure gold — which at current gold prices represents real monetary value. There is no minimum quantity at Unique Jewelry Now. A single 1/20oz coin in an otherwise empty pack is welcomed and valued at the same bullion rate per gram as a full 1oz coin. Many customers include fractional coins alongside larger ones in the same pack we value everything together in one clear combined offer.
For standard bullion Maple Leafs, the mint year does not typically affect the bullion payout — each contains the same gold content regardless of date. However, certain years carry numismatic significance: the 1979 first-year issue, low-mintage proof editions, and special presentation sets can command a premium above spot price. Our valuers check every coin for these factors. If yours qualifies, the premium is added to your offer automatically — you do not need to identify it yourself.
From requesting your pack to cash in your bank typically takes 3–5 business days. Day 1: you request the pack. Day 2–3: pack arrives via First Class. Day 3–4: you post your coins via Special Delivery. Day 4–5: we receive them, assess same day, and you receive the offer. Accept the offer: payment the same or next business day. The actual ‘active’ time on your part is about 10 minutes — the rest is transit and assessment.
Yes. You can include other gold coins (Krugerrands, Sovereigns, Britannias), gold jewellery, or other precious metals in the same pack alongside your Maple Leafs. Each item type is assessed separately and appropriate methodology applied — bullion rate for coins, weight-and-purity for jewellery, numismatic assessment for rare pieces. You receive a clear breakdown by item category and one combined total offer. For very high-value or high-volume mixed packs, call us first to discuss insurance cover.
For large collections or high-value lots, call us first at 501-859-1282. We will discuss the appropriate transit method, ensure insurance coverage matches the full declared value, and may arrange a dedicated collection rather than postal submission depending on the volume and value involved. Large portfolios are assessed the same day of arrival with a full per-coin breakdown. Our team has experience processing estate collections, investment portfolio liquidations, and inheritance gold we handle volume professionally and discreetly.
Yes. If you have a legitimate written offer from a regulated gold buyer or bullion dealer, share it with us and we will beat it. Our pricing is rooted in live LBMA data and professional XRF-verified assessment not arbitrary in-house rates. We are confident enough in our valuation methodology to offer a price-beat guarantee because our numbers are based on fact. Bring us any competitive quote before you commit elsewhere.
